What is free solo?

reply

Rock climbing without ropes. Watch the documentary Free Solo. It's incredible.

Holy shit lol

I think the same guy made a VR movie recently. That's gotta be pretty wild.

reply

I did a lot of climbing in college and free soloing is so insane. It's scary enough with all the safety equipment.

reply

Yeah it's really crazy what those guys do.

Ngannou Fury fight yesterday was unexpectedly great. So happy for him, hopefully he can get really paid for some epic crossover fights with Wilder etc. Dana tomato in shambles.

Heard it was good but didn't watch.

Ice climbing… hearing those cracks as you make your way up adds a bit of speed to your actions…. and that’s when mistakes happen.

Somehow I find person vs person activities more frightening than person vs nature. Human opponents seem unpredictable….

reply

That's a good addition.

What are those flying squirrel suits that look like they were made out of parachute when they go flying through rocks and stuff?

reply

That is part of base jumping. Those are wingsuits. That's some crazy shit.

reply

Base jumping gets my vote then...unless we add more sharks to surfing

reply

Haha fair.

Slacklining

Good entry. Looks kind of fun to try as long as you aren't more than 3ft off the ground.

reply

But the fall with two legs apart from the line would be frightening 🫣 and unthinkable.

reply

Good point.

Damn how did the 49ers get so bad so quickly...
