that’s probably true…
but he’s not putting that much torque on it.
I would not. 
shoulda seen him after, he threw some white zaffiros on there are bombed down the street without handlebars, just gripped the steerer tube (easier to fit between cars)
Tepr, have you seen the pictures of the italian guy descending the Stelvio on a brakeless freewheel bike with no bars?
http://italiancyclingjournal.blogspot.c ... alore.htmlThe video of this sucks to watch. He grabs the wire after he trips(?) and for a split second you think he’s going to hold on, but the force of his body falling pulls his hand off.

Yea unless you have some sort of Kung Fu Death Grip you are not grabbing a metal wire as you fall off of it.
Yo brah fuck barspinzzz
tightropes is the new freshness
that was some of the craziest shit i’ve seen and i don’t mean just the whole riding a bike 13 stories in the air on a metal wire. let us take notice of two other brilliant parts of this video.
#1 the guy operating the crane in the red and white shirt. SWEET SWEET GOD THAT HAIR! i need to find instructions on how to accomplish such beauty.
#2 who the fuck names their child Yanni? SERIOUSLY.
“don’t try this at home”
yeah, I was thinking of getting a couple of cranes and giving it a whack.

On March 22, 1978, during a promotional walk in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Karl Wallenda fell from the wire and died. He was 73 at the time. Rick Wallenda completed the walk a year later.[/quote]

I laughed at this.
“I think we should stress this one more time- you’re a trained professional…yada yada yada.” Funny stuff.
Woulda been cooler if he mashed across the gap with his hands in deep tarck drops, without tape of course.
he can ride his bike with no handlebars. no handlebars.

Yeah, what a bunch of pussies.
Here’s Dean Potter walking the 3000 foot high Lost Arrow highline sans security.
Yikes.
I’d warrent that walking a wobbly, bouncy slackline is a good bit more difficult than traditional tight-wire funambulism.
