layton Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 This weekend, i managed to invent a new sport by accident, Tethered Offwidthing. As it's first participant, all I can say is that it's a wonderful way to really savor that O.W. experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

layton Posted June 5, 2006 Author Share Posted June 5, 2006 Here's a photo of me and Skyclimb on an early attempt to get this sport off (or barely off) the ground. I was able to refine it to more of an isometic workout this weekend however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

layton Posted June 5, 2006 Author Share Posted June 5, 2006 so.... before this goes downhill anymore (if that's possible...and in record time I might add), maybe this thread could be better suited for funny offwidth photos you've taken.

jordop Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 I'm glad you've finally mastered the art. Herewith are some early memories of the technique at an embryonic state.

layton Posted June 5, 2006 Author Share Posted June 5, 2006 note on that 1st pic Jordop posted. I fell, ripped out my #4 camalot and landed on my back. I can still feel that children's ax grinding in my skull under my helmet on the 2nd pic. good times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
