    I must laugh at the point where WIRED is selling us “There is science to this stuff”. Sure. “The Universe is science”. Of course, there is science to this stuff. There is also Science in Baseball and riding a bull. 😉 She is just a woman walking on slack line. Yes, impressive. But it is just obsession in one sport. I will not get excited about someone walking on a slack line just because of a fancy video.

    That’s great, but if I hear pioneer out of a millennial one more time, I will scream. The people who started it in the eighties are the pioneers, she is following in their footsteps. Yes, she’s pushing boundaries and that’s great, but she didn’t start the sport.

      Nobody claimed that she started the sport. They said she’s a pioneer for women in the sport.

      I think you have it confused, she never said she started the sport. She was the first to do quite a few things as noted in the video which makes her a pioneer

    • Rachel B.

      July 21, 2022 at 9:58 pm

      She brought the sport to different countries that did not have it previously, that makes her a pioneer.

    Victim of circumstances or opportunistic motivated talent?

    Eventually she became the latter. But it didn’t come easy. 1 in 10,000? 100,000? 1,000,000? Whichever it is, she grabbed it’s throat & didn’t let go.
    Kudos young lady, enjoy life, you earned it. The rope is at your feet!

The Despacio tent is a temple of music for audio geeks, and the brainchild of LCD Soundsystem frontman James Murphy, Stephen and David Dewaele of 2manydjs aka Soulwax, and audio engineer John Klett. First created in 2013, Despacio makes its way from festival to festival, blasting dancers with vintage vinyl from seven McIntosh speaker stacks that make up the 50,000-watt sound system along with the lighting rig and iconic disco ball that complete the experience. CNET social producer Faith Chihil got a chance to catch it at Portola Music Festival in San Francisco and here’s what she found. #despacio #portolamusicfestival #festival #audiophile #vinyl
