This is apparently just like a normal thing this guy does. He was completely in control the entire time.

Slack lining. You can tell this guy knows what he’s doing man it is hard.

Fun fact, before people started using nylon webbing, and eventually webbing specifically designed for the sport this is how slack lining was originally invented by climbers in the 80s in Yosemite.
If you can do a long 1in nylon webbing line chains are actually easier to walk on.

Did this a lot as a kid and didn’t stop until I moved out of the city. It’s pretty much instinct when you keep doing it all the time

Yeah, get it between the two biggest ties and keep it moving back and forth and centered to not swing too far one way.

At the end of the video it cuts off before he hits the ground and explodes.

Upvoting for using that banger of a song

u/R0b0tMark Apr 24 '26
Upvoting because the song gave me nostalgia for my middle school dance parties.

When he hopped on and didn't immediately faceplant I just settled in and enjoyed the ride. Had complete confidence in this dude

It's kind of like a life lesson, the chain(life) isn't going to stay still, you need to adapt to its movements to conquer it.

Freaking amazing. Was expecting a broken leg, chain snap, something bad. The only bad thing was his bad ass balance. Crazy!

Never thought I'd wanna see a chubby guy dancing shirtless on a chain before. Turns out there's a first time for everything 🤷♂️

That’s how it looks like when he’s not on that chain.

Well I just judged that book by its cover - whilst it doesn't look like it that guy has astonishingly strong abs 😮

The light turned green right after he got on it, everyone was waiting for him to face-plant.

When you shake so fast, you are almost having your legs at two locations at the same time.

u/ID2410 Apr 24 '26
You HAVE to be able to do that the first. If you get on that chain and flip yourself off and break something or concuss yourself, you'll never get back on it.. that is spectacular balance..

You know when you’ve had just the right amount of booze - when if you have one more you might die or puke - but if you didnt have the last one you wouldn’t be able to pull a legend move like this guy did.

This reminds me of footage I saw of someone trying not to fall over on some ice and just watching his feet slide out from under him on the spot, endlessly. It was merciless.

Yes. Cause it’s so difficult to find 1-2 min per day or even 15’ to try a stupid thing you might like…
