The Fort William Mountain Festival hosted a historic coming together of some of the world's most devoted and skilled slackliners. These "slackers" gathered in Scotland to compete for the title of International Slack Master of 2008. Along with the title came the promise of over $3000 worth of cash and prizes to ensure a sizzling competitive fire. With the continuously progressive evolution of slackline style and frequent updates of the purposed physical limits of the sport-- no one knew what types of talent to expect.
Dylan loves to share the beta and his passion for Slackline, and to slack it up with as many slackers as possible!!! So lots of Boulder,Denver Slackers showed! And even though it rained it didn't stop Dylan from walking a soaked 100 footer with his unmistakable style and flair!
He was also interviewed for a new Boulder based web site, and will be setting up a Highline in the area in the near future for the mentioned web site, Boulder Vive. Big props to you Dylan!

Congratulations to everyone who competed in the Slackline Brothers Freestyle Slackline Contest! It was a great time and everyone seemed to have a blast! Over $1000 worth of prizes was provided by Slackline Brothers and Montrail. Here are the results:
Division A: Advanced
- 1st Place-Bill Chouinard (Slackline Brothers Full Kit),
- 2nd Place-Levi Rodgers (Montrail Shoe/Boot Gift Certificate),
- 3rd Place-Jeff Hudak (Slackline Brothers DVD)
Division B: Beginner/Intermediate
- 1st Place-Jamie Grim (Slackline Brothers Full Kit),
- 2nd Place-Christina Austin (Montrail Shoe/Boot Gift Certificate),
- 3rd Place-Phillip Kistler (Slackline Brothers DVD)
Highlights include Phillip Kistler who had a good run especially for someone who had just learned to slackline the day before! Also, Bill Chouinard''s finale of a forward leap with a 180 linked to a front flip dismount had the crowd cheering.
Hopefully we''ll see EVEN MORE talent at our next competition June 4-5 at Teva Mountain Games. "
