I'm not getting how this is spam. I sure don't see any products.
If Andy makes money somehow from what he does, so what?! It's closer to on-topic than most of the stuff that shows up on the Taco.
Relax, it's not like we make precious use of every bit of valuable bandwidth around here
and the video is like one minute long. How fast can you get bored anyway?

What Karl said. There are plenty of videos posted here of sponsored climbers doing their sponsored thing. How is this different?

It's part of an active/agressive social media campaign. I'm not going to explain anymore for fear of helping them any more than I already have by responding.
Later.

For one thing, this is a climbing forum not a gaylining one. And second, this guy is an aggressive representative of Gibbon and whatever he's calling his so-called "production company" these days...basically trying to making a buck from doing nothing of any use to anyone and using a free forum as a vehicle to do it. Once you can rig & walk a highline (which takes all of a couple months to get down really), there's not a whole lot else you can do with it besides a few tricks, take off your pants, and try to sell your ass on the web because you don't want to get an actual job.

How dumb do you have to be to open a thread you don't want to read?
How dumb do you have to be to watch a video you don't want to watch?
How dumb do you have to be to then prove how dumb you are and complain about it?
The answer is... not dumb at all. Just very gay and interested in seeing a naked dude. That's why you really watched the video isn't it?

I'd watch the video but I'm pretty sure seeing those two orange afros would scar me for life.

Next time you should do it without the slackline. That is a clear compromise in your cutting-edge purity or whatever.

My biggest concern is with the rope butt flossing at the beginning. I mean who would want to handle the rope after seeing that.

We climbed Lost Arrow earlier this year. Andy and friends were there - clothed . . ., and doing what they love. Andy crusied both slacklines numerous times, most with a harness and safety tether. One or two of his passes were made sans harness, but with a tether on his ankle.
The dude is talented - obviously - and into what he is into. The naked solo is likely his idea of the purest form of slacklining. Nothing at all gay about it.
Congrats Andy! Great send.
