Czech Tower Jumping Makes Slacklining Look Like a Lame Ride at the State Fair
There were only Grades 1 through 3 until a guy named “Oxygen” came along and set some grade fours. Watch the video and you’ll see the difference between grades three and four. These Czechs jump among the thousands of sandstone spires that shoot out of the ground like bottle rockets stuck in a sandbox. The video has some insane shots and doesn’t disappoint on the whippers you’d expect people to take when they’re jumping from one cliff to the next.
