My wildest is a 360. But I can't land that one very often, so I'd really go with the 180. I'm learning. :)

I suck at slacklining, however the wildest thing I have seen was a single bounce backflip dismount.

I learned the pants-drop, then got dared to "wee without falling." Needless to say, you don't want to bail. I've gotten close to doing it, but still need a helluva lot of practice. Maybe I could just wear a diaper? :?

I preapologise for not owning a slackline or knowing anyone who does. I'm a big, gangly 6'4" guy and am considering buying one 'cause it looks like some fun. Am I too tall to balance on something like that? How hard is it to learn? Just ignore me if my questions are too simple for this advanced thread. I just don't want a bunch of wannabe newbies giving answers about something they know nothing about. If I jump in, I wanna take a plunge, not a dip. I work 7 days a week either on my home wall or outside, so I'm in decent shape. I figure you can't work too hard on balance or footwork, and there're plenty of trees in my apatrment's courtyard. Is this something to learn alone?

Putting my shirt over my head and walking tmy line was wild but nothing compared to taking a box that a crashpad comes in and sticking it over my head (comes down to waist) and trying to walk the line with that an flip-flops

No one is too tall to slackline, i'm a wee little pole just shy of 6'6". I'm the best out of all my friends who slackline.
As of tricks. Try sitting down after walking, I mean butt to the line. This and a 360 are my tricks. But my 360, sometimes more, is done without leaving the line. I just throw a foot off and start spin'n. Most of the time i just play frizbee from it, or see how long i can stay of with friends shaking it.

Being taller should be a definite advantage for slacklining. (Greater moment of inertia)

I can tie a cherry stem in a knot with my tongue. This doesn't impress the guys much (thankfully), but usually the girls like it :-P hehe
oh, this is about slackin - ugh, I can make it about 10 steps or so before falling off. I am getting good at sit starts.. sitting on the line with both feet on the line, then standing up off that.

Dousing my Cadillac with gasoline and dancing on top of it while it burned to the music of the phychedelic Furs was a pretty good trick.Dont try it at home kids.

Not very wild but if the line isn't too high, I drop a knee, start bouncing and just wait till my knee hits the ground. Yeah....not that impressive.

Hard to say which one is most interesting:
busting air with two open & full sodas,
dropping to a sitting position and setting them down,
going from standing on one foot to dropped down laying on the line,
180 degree jump (havn't gotten 360 down)
Line transfers with the lines like 4 feet apart
Walking a 50 foot line carrying 50 lbs of gear in a pack with my hands in my pocket.
Probably the hardest doesn't sound that wild, but chugging a soda while walking backwards on a 95' line.
