That was awesome mate!

 

So was the music!

 

Do you adjust your grip on the flipline as the pole thins out? Couldn't tell from the vid.

You can do that if you want but you tend to throw the flipline higher as the pole gets thinner so to speak, but it does feel weird as your leaning back a fair bit too when you get near the top.
