Professional slackliner Faith Dickey attempts things that plenty of us wouldn’t dare try. How about traversing a slackline barely 2 inches in width across a canyon, hundreds of feet in the air? A car accident at age 18 changed Faith’s life, teaching her to live every moment to its fullest. This is the story of how Faith Dickey became one of the best slackliners in the world.

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

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!

Because of the economic crisis that always comes up the best thing to be on every wise individual’s mind or list is to invest in different streams of income that’s not depending on the government to generate funds.
