Summary

Originally aired April 27th, 2020

The world of highlining is often misunderstood as simply walking from one point to another across a thin webbing hundreds of feet in the air. While it is that, it’s so much more. Ari does an amazing job illustrating, even for the totally unfamiliar, the thrill, focus, and adventure of being out there on the line.

Most of the episode revolves around him and his friend’s ridiculous accomplishment of highlinging 2 km across an abandoned asbestos mine in (appropriately enough) Asbestos, Quebec.

The project was huge, ludicrous, and completely awesome.

Enjoy.

2:05.6	managed a college education to continue my skiing, and then after that I just was skiing
2:13.6	150 days a year, and slope style was my preferred drug of choice in that arena and that was
2:21.9	you know those are big jumps big rail features and as time went on the bigger in the
2:28.3	bigger and bigger jumps became kind of my specialty double backflips and double front flips were kind of
