Well, the short film has finally dropped and it's just as jaw-dropping as a Gymkhana video—albeit for reasons like stunning slow-motion imagery of dirt being thrown't all over the desert. This one is definitely an incredible project.
On November 15, 2015, Frenchman Théo Sanson walked a slackline stretching from Utah's Rectory rock tower to its Castleton counterpart...over 1,600 feet away. And although no world records have been confirmed (yet), all it takes is one woozy, vertigo-inducing viewing to realize this one of the craziest tightrope stunts ever. If you're afraid of heights, now is your last chance to look away...
Filmed over the span of three weeks on a 3,000-mile road trip through Utah, Arizona, Nevada, and California, this stunning 4K time-lapse tour of the American Southwest certainly didn't come without a cost (snowstorms, flat tires, scorpion stings, and plenty of sleepless nights).

Park City knows how to treat its local heroes
Let Andy Parry show you how it's done.
It can be tough to find new tricks to perform on rails. It seems like everything has been done before. Not for Andy Parry who just released this clip of a move that he's called the Man Bear Pig. It basically involves walking up onto the rail in skis and then sliding down. You don't really even need any snow, so there's no excuse to not start practicing your Man Bear Pigs right away.
