It was an honor to capture this beautiful moment for one of my graduating students. An engagement, graduation and moving on to new adventures all in one week. I love when my two jobs combine and allow me to be a part of big moments.

I was finally able to 𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗼𝗻 𝗮 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗚𝗮𝗽 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗚𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗲 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁 and not only that, I was able to “Send” a big line again🙏(a clean walk with no falls). Which definitely wasn’t on my bingo card by any means, given my recent health matters
•
This line is something very special because it’s the 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐚 𝐡𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐠𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐡 𝐑𝐢𝐦 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐍𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐡 𝐑𝐢𝐦 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐨𝐲𝐚𝐥 𝐆𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐞 𝐂𝐚𝐧𝐲𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐂𝐚ñ𝐨𝐧 𝐂𝐢𝐭𝐲, 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐨. This beauty is 400 meters in length and stands close to 335 meters high. It literally felt like I was walking across the Grand Canyon…👀 •
It’s a honor to have had the opportunity to walk this line, and get the FA on my first crossing, as well as to share the send with @da_logster and @proffventure 🫂🩶 •
𝗘𝘅𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝗳𝗼𝗿 @communityhighlines 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 @da_logster 𝗽𝘂𝘁 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆. I know many people have dreamt of this moment, and it’s a blessing to be a part of it🙏 •
𝗪𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗹𝘆 𝗲𝗻𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵, 𝗜 𝗴𝗼𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗴𝗶𝗴, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗵𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗹𝘆, 𝗜 𝗱𝗶𝗱𝗻’𝘁 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗶𝗳 𝗜’𝗱 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲! Given everything that's happened over the past couple of months with my recovery from spinal surgery and going septic (old proxy speedflying accident), I really wasn't sure how I'd feel or how my body would respond once I stepped back on the line •
Feeling incredibly fortunate and grateful that the stars aligned on this project. It all just happened, and somehow it felt natural to be back❤️ •
Truly another reminder to just 𝗞𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗚𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴!! You never know what's waiting around the next corner

27 is the year of whimsy! silly snow bocce and x-treme sledding down rocky hillsides under a starry sky, face glitter, belly laughs with friends, and reclaiming the brightest, neonest colors of the rainbow that my inner child would adore 🪩🕺🌈 another trip around the sun, another cozy hut trip with the pals!

With big lines, some moments feel easy and others don’t, and that’s just part of it. You learn to expect the unknown, stay willing to adapt, and trust the process anyway.
•
Honestly, this was one of the best sessions highlining has to offer, and personally one of my favorites. There’s something unreal about believing in yourself and your crew, even when you’re not totally sure it’s the “right” answer in the long run… but you know enough, you’ve planned enough, and you give it a go
•
And the truth is, the difficulties are what make you stronger. Working through the challenges together is its own kind of dance and when it clicks, it’s a damn beautiful one. You’ve gotta stay composed, focused, and calm in the middle of the adversity, and that’s where the growth happens
•
This line had its moments, like every big line does but damn, was it a beautiful experience. And an even more stunning line!

Blood, sweat, tears and stoke went into the 4K project and what a beautiful experience it was. I have so much love and appreciation for everyone who came out and played in the sandbox. Until the next now my friends❤️ Organized by: @da_logster Stunning drone shots from the one and only: @verjanfpv 4K crushers: @benoit_brume @mianoblet @haole_to_feet @_islack_ @state_of_grace0 @slackenglund @henrytheone1 @samantha_on_rope @hownot_2 @sketchyandylewis @erikmakic

4K highline — What a wild project to be a part of! We had 2 crossings by @benoit_brume and @da_logster. I only got on for a few steps. And we had to de-rig due to weather, but just being around such a massive line rekindled the desire to walk such lines again!
Huge thanks to @da_logster and the whole crew for making it happen! 😀

Crossing the longest Highline in History 4000m in total

Result of the adventure.
(Francais en commentaire)
After two days of preparation and two days of rigging, the line remained operational for less than 24 hours before it had to be taken down because of an approaching storm.

I was lucky enough to make the first crossing.
This crossing couldn’t be considered a send attempt, since it involved detaching the highline from the curtain rod. It was the final step before any real attempts could take place.

My crossing lasted 2 hours including 600m of pulley and stopping to remove the last pulley.
The line was really hard at the beginning and end 300m. Behaved like a tension longline.
Middle part was cruising. A bit of humping but nothing so crazy.
Logan, the organizer, went right after me to make a full attempt. He fell at approximately 3 km.
The next morning, the weather got worse and we had to get the line down.
It remains the longest highline ever installed in the world. Everyone is safe and sound.
It made us tired but happy. And we have an excuse to try again next year.

Thanks to all the team that make this possible and especially to @da_logster and Sean for inviting last minute in this project
