highline

A slackline taken to heights falling from would be fatal. Requires a leash and harness for experienced slackliners and only the greatest go free solo. No beginners.

Rigging a highline involves multiplying, equalizing and stabilizing huge forces on anywhere from the sides of cliffs to the tops of spires. Highlines have been rigged between trees, over rivers and across massive canyons.

At the time of this post, no one has ever died from highlining, because those that rig highlines are extremely experienced.

Andy Lewis, Jerry Miszewski and Damian Cooksey are some of the best highliners in the world.

"Highlining is one inch from flying." ~Andy Lewis

free solo

1. In climbing, to free solo is to climb with no protection to catch a fall. The climber relies only on his or her ability.

2. In highlining, to free solo is to walk a highline without a leash or harness to prevent a fall. The highliner relies only on his or her balance and ability to catch the line to keep from falling.

Only the best highliners in the world are able to free solo.

that one time

...you know, when you did that that one thing.

James: "Remember that one time?"
Robert: "You mean when we did that one thing?"
James: "Yeah!"

that one thing

Something just worthy enough to remember, but the exact title has been lost. Usually a great friend will understand without any further explanation.

James: "Do you remember when we did that one thing?"
Robert: "And you broke your leg but you wound up getting that nurse's number?"
James: "Yeah!"

free sample friendship

n. a friendship that's slightly deeper than an aquaintance but not a true friendship. This could be someone you've just met, or an old friendship that has fallen apart.

If you see someone once a week for 20 minutes... you're in a free sample friendship.
