Does anyone know of any good places to set up a high line, or even better, a high waterline close (+-50miles) to the Phoenix area.

Thanks

Is that like a zip line?

Highlining is slacklining really high up, waterlining is slacklining over water, which is really fun especially if your about 20 feet high.

I can't figure out why they just don't still call it tight-rope walking? The equipment must sell better with a cooler name

I dunno, "tight rope walking" (a misnomer if you ever see the sag in the lines) is pretty darn cool to me. No idea down here, but I know Sycamore Canyon, near Willow Spring is pretty popular. Several photos here on Haz of people tight-rope walking up there ...

p.s. Do yourself a favor an watch "Man on Wire". Great doc of Phillipe Petit's walk at the World Trade Center.

Tight ropes don't have slack and are pretty much fixed ropes, they don't move at all; it's like walking on top of a pole. Slack lines move up, down, left, right; this can be an advantage or disadvantage depending on the situation. Slack lines are also way easier to set up, more mobile, and much less equipment.

I'm starting to see a lot more ads before videos these days. I spend about as much time watching ads on the internet, as I do on TV ...
