This is that thread you ever swing. They say that it's a skill less thing that should be banned in popular areas and people clearly should not have that much fun.

Fire it up.

One winter day with nothing much better to do, I walked up to the base of El Cap and did the Alcove Swing.

Yawn.

The Porch Swing sounds rather more interesting.

Men are good at one thing and one thing alone -- no you just think you are good at that -- lifting heavy objects -- and that is it .... if your GF is better than you or can do things that you can't so what
As long as she finds you handy & you can open bottles - cans & lift things it's all good.
All you have to say is babe have fun I'm a climber - sailor - biker - it doesn't matter what thats what you are & you don't have to do s_it. Nor do you have to say more than I am a __ .
If you swing & did not want to you are a pussy - if you did what you wanted well.

Yea this one is certainly KNOTT for pussies either. This set up could challenge and scare many olympians. Saw this vid at the Tahoe Adventure film fest last year.
