  7. TIM just to educate you a bit more since you sound so full of it... its not called a second tie in point so sort it out!!! its called carrying a WORK POSITIONING STROP meaning use it if necesary to hold you in a good work position,and his was fine leading straight out behind him.im sure he hasnt got chainsaw tourettes where he feels he must suddenly turn around and hit his rope sorry cant listen to people like yourself i find alot of people so quick to pick holes in others work.... but while your on about others pics i like your profile pic hahahha does that make u feel all big sat behind that
  8. i love footlocking. if you can grasp the hang of it,its very useful...i only use it a handful of times but so rewarding when u can cover alot of height in a very short amount of time not that im an expert by any means but really useful to get someone to spot you watching your feet and finding your faults secondly dont keep going right up the line to practice, your tire yourself really quickly, just practice getting a really good lock on your feet and extend your body as far up as you can without the hold slipping, once you nail that your be a flyyyinnn up happy practicing
