Project X/Britains Got Talent

During the end of the year the BBC contacted Maverick again

 to see if a groupof us wanted to take part in 'Britains Got Talent'

Because slacklines are not your normal talent show performance

 we had to create a auditionvideo to show the panel of judges

 so Dimension2 were brought in to film a suitable edit..

 

Watch Project X here..

  

After presenting the edit to the judges we were

 put through to the next round, this involved

going to Birmingham to perform in front of a live audience

 with Simon Cowell, David Walliams, Amanda Holden

 and Alesha Dixon watching us..

  

Enter The Battle

 

 

 

Went to Nottingham to perform a slackline demonstration

as part of the annual 'Enter The Battle' event..

Braddy Hollow Highline

 Originally this line was spotted and rigged a year before

but lower down the gorge, as it was so sketchy it needed a legit send

so it was re-rigged higher up and the 'Hollow Highline' was born..

15m High, 20m Long

                          



CBBC Live & Deadly

So this was a crazy event, I travelled all the way up into

 the Welsh valleys to a Climbing centre to film a small segment

 for the BBC Live and Deadly show..

 

 

The show was presented by Steve Backshall and aside from
all the slacklining we managed to get done the
 highlight for me was casually chatting to him at 5am

whilst eating bacon sandwiches.. Legend

 

UK Champs 2011

The first UK Slackline competition held in Poole, England

 

 

I managed to get to Second place overall and also landed some UK firsts
 including freefalls and backflip-buttbounce..

Anonymous 2011

Anonymous Festival, Dorchester 

Really good session with all the Maverick slackers,
managed to stick a backflip feet to feet
and get it on camera which is rare for me..

Slack London 2011



Brighton Fringe

Possible my favourite event of the year so far,

 Slacklining on Brighton beach for the BBC and Citroen,

I got to meet Jake White for the first time and see the

progression of other places around the UK..

 

Cliff Hanger

A week or so later I found myself travelling up to Sheffield

 for the Cliff Hanger Festival,

I really enjoyed this weekend as I had Maz and Murray with me

 and I also met some fellow Kendama enthusiasts from Japan..

 

 

Didn't really manage to get any shots of slacklining as I spent
 so much time on the line but did have a quick cigarette
break someone managed to capture..

Gold Coast Ocean Festival



My second little adventure with Maverick involved heading to Devon

 again but this time down to the coast for the weekend..

 

Hard Rock Festival

My first event working for Maverick Slacklines

 was at Rock and Rapid in Devon,

 

3 days of rain stopped us from really getting on the lines

but luckily we had a rock climbing competition to watch.
