| Once you can do a trick, you have SENT. If you can do it almost every time you have it WIRED. If you can do it every time, always you have it DIALED. |
| S1 - Can do it right away, a first-time move. beginner's start here. S2 - Can do within several tries. Good tricks to learn your first or second session. S3 - Can do after a session or two of work. Hard for the first try. S4 - Can do after a few sessions or generally pick-up quite fast if adept at slacklining. S5 - Can do quickly if advanced, otherwise takes a while. S6 - Hard for most advanced slackers. Really takes a while for a good slacker to pick up. S7 - Not many people can do it, but most can learn if advanced. S8 - Sick. Rarely seen, rarely done. Talked about. S9 - Only a couple people can do it, many work at it for a long time. S10 - Only one person can do it. (Becomes S9 if repeated.) S11 - Not done yet. (Becomes S10 if SENT!) |

Um.. what else, Oh yeah i landed 5 180's in a row the other day, just to see how many i could do, and my most consecutive jumps in a row on a line is 19... going up, down, up, down, no hessitation... I am working on the back to back 360's but that shit is HARd, and Scary... ...I [also] have a bunch of tricks that just aren't even listed... Such as Multiple line tricks,transfer tricks, from a higher line to a lower line, Tree stalls (jump off the slackline put both feet on the treee you are anchored two, and either come back on the line with no trick,with a 180, a 360,a 540 and even, as i hope todo, a backflip off the tree onto the line... Speaking of which i have landed the backflip off the line onto the line..." -Andy Lewis, California August 3rd Gravity Highline Team would like to congratulate Damian, one of our own, on a succesful send of the classic lost arrow highline in Yosemite.
