Giara, Hi, Chad, howyou doing. Hello? Everybody? You
know, there really weren't a lotof freaky names, and I still stumble
over. We're glad to have youhere. Glad to have you Yeah,
thank you very much for being herewith you us tonight. Thank you for
(06:36):
this opportunity. Ja. What isyour weather over there in u Italy where
you're at, and tell us thetown you're in again, Tuscany. In
Tuscany, Now it is warm,actually that is midnight, so it's getting
colder because there is a lot ofchange of temperatory between the day that is
(06:58):
around twenty five twenty seven and duringthe night fifteen. So you're are you're
you're not having the super hot whetherthe rest of us are having. Huh,
you're doing okay over there? Yeah, I have that during the day,
but then during the night is gettingsuper cold. That's why I'm a
bit cold. Good sleeping weather,sleeping in them two days ago, good
(07:24):
sleeping We're there. Hey, Well, let's let's start by this. Let's
first, have you explained the differencebetween high line, trick line, and
slack line, so that we allunderstand what that is. Okay, So
slack line for me and for Ithink everybody is the discipline the sport that
include everything. Then there are differentcategories. It depends from the size the
(07:50):
wideness of the line. So wespeak about slack line or trick line.
If there is two inch line ofbeing where there is a like fifteen meters
thirty meters. If it's a goodtrick line with a lot of tension,
so you can walk, but youcan also bounce and do acrobatic stuff of
(08:15):
debt, and that's the trick lineand high line. It cames basically from
the long line, so it's oneinch of webbing and you basically work.
You can do statics treats. Butif you put higher in the sky so
we can say more than ten metershigher, and you have the leash so
(08:39):
you are double backup, you canwork, but you can also bounce and
you can walk like super long distance, like even thousands of meters long.
But you can even bounce and doflips like Salami. She was, she's
like the world champion and my friendand she was also guests in your show
(09:07):
and do crazy tricks and the highline. She's amazing and I'm glad.
I believe I introduced you to Ihope I did. Anyway, I'm glad.
Yeah, you made everything happen,So I thank you bird, you're
very well. I'm glad that workedout. Yeah, well, listen,
I want I was going to ask. I wondered how wide that slack line
was and you said two inches,and thank you for doing inches instead of
(09:28):
centimeters, because that's not I appreciate. But now high line, is that
just a rope? Yeah, that'sthat's yeah, that's it. There are
two two because I told you thatis a bakeup. So there is the
main line that have more tension,and there is the bakeup line that shouldn't
have so much tension but just needsto be activated in case the main line
(09:54):
breaks or something in the system breaks. So you have you are backup to
Alish that is linked with a ringthat passed. We're inside passed both of
the line, the main and theyback up so in case something happened in
the first one, there is asecond one that is gonna get intention because
(10:16):
you are folding, but you're notgonna fall unless you like to do free
solo and you decide to at thatfisk suicide. I don't recommend and I
wouldn't say. I didn't say anythingabout it, not recommended. Yeah,
we don't do this, no love, save the first your life first place.
(10:39):
Yes, save it guys. Andhow did you first become involved in
this like line? This is actuallya very funny story. So I was
a gymnast before for about fifteen years, and at one point that was study
management engineer, and my studies thelessons were all in the all the day
(11:03):
long, so in the afternoon Iwas not able anymore to go in the
gym and practice gymnastics. So myboyfriend at the time, he proposed me
to join his team that was practicinghis latline in a gym that was the
gym of the team against my gymnasticteam. So I say, okay,
(11:26):
I will go with sign up asas letliner, but in secret, I
will keep doing gymnastics because I willbe able to go by night and practice
with them. But they were notgoing to be anybody to see me or
check if I am doing this lackline really and I say, okay,
I will go, But then Irealized that they were cameras and some gymnasts
(11:50):
they're watching me, so I getlike forced to start laclining. But this
was just the beginning because one lessonand I fell in love, and the
competition with my boyfriend at the timeheld me to keep progressing so much.
And I realized after one year thatGymnastic, after fifteen years, was giving
(12:13):
me the same treats if I wastraining a lot instead, if I was
just going to dose black line.Every time that I was doing a training,
I was learning at least one ortwo new treats. Yeah, are
you better than you? Okay,I have more chance. Are you better
than him? Now that's my girl. I got one year to make it
(12:41):
happen. I love it. Ilove it rock. But the last competition
three days ago, he beat mebecause I was injured. So I just
did a show and I let himpass. I love it, Okay,
it is for a good reason.That's so funny, and it is nice
(13:05):
because you have a background before that, so you just improve it something that
you already knew. That's why yougot so good so fast. And talking
about that, how many hours perweek you spend training in the gym and
practicing this black line. Okay,so from when I start, since when
(13:31):
I start to do the black line, I changed my gym in this lack
line, like going on this lackline, I do my workout and the
only moment when I go to thegymer is when I need I have some
injury to do some kind of maintenanceof the body. And I had to
(13:52):
go for do that specific exercize.And if I have like super closed the
injury, I can say I cango four times a week for one hour
every time, because like this youcan do maintenance. But if not,
I just go on the line andlet's it, you know, speaking of
(14:13):
that injury, speaking of that injury, like you you've injured your right knee
right, and first of all,yeah, how did you do? How
did that happened? And it hasn'thad any effect on your performance at all?
Obviously you kind of alluded that itdoes a little bit. How did
you do that? So there isa video that explained it's very very easy.
(14:35):
But I just I was doing oneof the hardest school but that I
ever did in my life. Butthat I was practicing because I wanted to
improve and put myself in outside fromthe comfort zone. And I did a
new trick that I learned one weekbefore, not two weeks before. Then
(14:56):
a backflip, then a backflip witha trick sixty and in the three sixty
was a bit lower, so myleg gets stopped inside like in the line,
and then line is like and Ineeded like soul. So this is
the the the explanation. But mybody or my mind can say that after
(15:26):
nine months of contract where I wasdoing show almost every day and then directly
fly to stut Care to participate tothe work up and start a one month
and a half of road trip aroundEurope doing something like seven thousand kilometers just
(15:46):
to go to all the competition foralmost two months or one one month and
a half every weekend I was competing. After the last competition, like before
at pool, I say, okay, now I'm gonna start practicing for red
Wood, and I went on thewaterline. I did one extra training that
(16:07):
my body should say no, youshould rest in that day, not go
and train again. And that's whathappened that I did. In that extra
overwork, I made a serious questionfor you, very serious question you did
that's your knee? Did you cry? No? I didn't cry. I
(16:32):
was like super nervous and you knowwhat is written here? Yeah, yeah,
So in that moment, like everytime that I have an injury,
there is the first reaction and sometimesI start to cry. I'm like super
bad. I did one day oflike whether like if somebody that is dead,
(16:56):
and I cry and and then Isay, okay, I wake up
and I had to recover. Thattime, I was feeling that my aims
was to go to Redwood competition,and in that exactly moment, I say,
okay, now start my abilitation.I went to buy the stumps.
I don't know what's the name,and then the tutor and I take the
(17:21):
medicine, and I booked the MRAand I booked the physio and they booked
all the session double session every dayuntil the day of the before the flight.
Because my aim was okay, ifthe emerry results are not so bad,
if my croshauto is good, Ican't make it. And I did
double session of physotherapy every day,spending like six hundred euros in one week
(17:48):
of physotherapy in double session, andI don't know how many machines. And
I came back to work two daysbefore and then the day of the competition,
I work again on the slack line. Yeah, well you're gonna be
okay. That's the most important thing. Good for you, Good for you,
Yes, but the motivation was high. Yes, that's the best residence
(18:15):
is when you don't just go down. You just see that there is a
problem and you try to put yourpositive way. You keep smiling and you
face that problem and then you youever passed that. Yeah, that's a
good lesson kids. So yes,do not give up and be resilient.
(18:41):
Well, we are going to allmeal break, so don't go away.
We'll be back right after these messages. A few years ago, someone asked
crew to Beigest owner Darren Bush.Hey, how long have you guys been

with a focus on innovation. Weare jack kaya We are, we are,
we are Jackson Kayak, and weare we are Jackson John We agree,
we are Jackson Kayak and we're backwith Jaro regularly. Do you want
(21:23):
to tell us? Tell us thetype of gymnastics you do and how you
incorporate that into your slack line machinesbecause that's interesting m hm. So I
are a little that when I doexercise, I prefer going directly on the
(21:44):
line and activate all that little andside muscles that are supporting the main muscles
that you usually train and when youwait classic exercise. So exact well,
if you do a squad over theline, you need to do like just
(22:04):
ten squad on the line, andit's the same result of if you're doing
one hundred squad on the ground.So that's how I start to do to
put all the exercise that I wasdoing as a workout using the instability of
the line. So first of all, all your muscles, all your breathing,
(22:29):
all your focus is integrated in theworkout and make you works more.
So example, if you do apistol squad or over a line, good
luck is hard. But if youmay, if you manage to find your
(22:49):
balance when you do that, thatyou're going to understand that you don't need
to use only that main muscle,but you can at the support of the
other muscle to do the same exercise, and then you're gonna understand it is
gonna be easy, even easier andthat's what I do. I try to
(23:10):
think about all the exercise that Ineed. Basically starting took the physotherapy and
then I put on the line.So for example, there is this black
gym of from Spider's Black Line thatI bring. I broke inside my physotherapy,
so for the rebilitation of the knee, I did all the exercise over
(23:33):
that. So I did their rebilitationssuper fast. Wow, and that's a
that's what slack line have a big, big, huge potential. Yeah,
that's amazing for my point of viewand not in all the mind. Yeah,
you can work out and have funand be conscious about your body and
(23:55):
your brief that's real amazing. Ifeel like I want to try that or
sure, that's amazing and tell usabout what you do. Watch Wander Off
the Sea Crows line my dream job? Can I see that? For the
(24:17):
dream job of all this decliner ora gymnos like me? Because I am
in a cast in a group ofpeople that are world champions or went to
the Olympics. They are synchronous swimmer, professional divers, high divers, martial
artists, dancers, and I getthe opportunity to share nine months of contract
(24:41):
with them on board the biggest shipof the world. And I was practicing
with them every day in the gymin the aqua theater. So in the
pool and I get the opportunity tolearn how to dive that my original dream
to do after gymnastics, and Istart to do all the bases, all
(25:06):
the techniques of diving, because thereis also a trampoline and the springboard and
tremiter, the meter platform, andthere is a lot of things to do
in the acqua theaters. So ifyou're gonna ta on a contract, you
do the show. You do thework that you have to do for as
a crew member, for to explainthe safety to the guests that arrive every
(25:33):
Sunday. But if you manage touse the other time that you are like
free, you can really practice andbecame a better version of yourself. You
can push yourself out from the comfortzone and learn so many stuff. I
was playing drums every night. Wehave differ life and around the ship.
(25:57):
Ask you how you got drums?How did you ever? Because I was
a drummer, and I'm thinking,here she is on the gym going crazy.
I'm like, you know what's funny. I jumped into the with the
band first time I had ever beenon a car. I jumped into the
band and played a full hour withthem. It was so much fun.
I thought, yeah, that's crazy, that's crazy. My first time was
(26:22):
in the school and was with mybest friend interesting that was a drummer and
we started to do drumming jamber together. And in his last show he was
playing drums and all the school waswas playing the jamb and unfortunately he was
(26:48):
with a cancer, so he died. Since that time, for me,
all the passions that he tried toto be resilient and keep growing, I
bring with me and everything that Igo on the stage, I perform for
him too, so we we havethe double energy and everything that I try
(27:11):
to drama is just not only me, and I know that he's super proud
of me because I keep practicing learning. And then my boyfriend, when I
started to see him, he wasa dramma too, so it was like
(27:33):
destiny. And with the friends wego around and I that from last year
that I was injured, I askedto a jam Bay coach at his puppy
PM from Seinegal is an amazing guy. He starts to teach me and from
(27:53):
that moment I start to go toevery show that he goes. In the
summer. I was going with himand I was following him with the Khan
because he was playing the jambai andI was not able to dance because I
was injury. They was just sittingon the khan and try to follow to
learn at the same time of hisperformance. And yesterday said yesterday, I
(28:17):
meet him again and tomorrow we haveanother show. What I'm gonna do drumming
and slack line for children? Ohwow, how cool? A big family.
Yeah, I'm going to shift gearsfor a second. Here. Let
me ask you, and I'm kindof jumping hill a bit, but I'm
gonna ask you, where are yougoing to be competing for the rest of
(28:38):
this year? Where else are yougoing? What a competitions? So my
aim now is to buy a vanbecause I needed to finish my slack life
vibes road trip around Europe. Imiss in Spain and Portugal and I need
to go there and compete. Andthen they aim the dream at least is
(29:03):
to go with a little boat fromTeneriff to World Way, take a vent
there, go to Argentina and thenBrazil and go to do the championship in
Brazil too. You can stay hito min. Yeah, of course,
that's cool. We are going totalk about that. Brazil. This my
(29:27):
dream, like my this year,I will go to Brazil. I've been
listening every night for Brazilian guys speakingfrom not understanding nothing. At the end
I understand. So now I haveto go to Brazilian practice. That's cool.
And by the way, guys,we spoke in Portuguese before the show,
(29:48):
so she really speaks. Is amazing. Yeah, there we go.
That's so cool. We're going tomeet up for sure. But well for
now, we want to know yoursecret for perfecting the type of balance and
(30:10):
coordination that it takes to be aslack line competition. Apostle Concigo. This
is like I want, I can, I want I do it. So
(30:32):
this is the what my idol actuallyJovana the Trucci from Brazil that is the
Black Queen since ten years she toldme that is her secret and is something
similar to what I was saying tomyself every time that I was on that
(30:55):
line and focusing on the end ofthe line and try to keep that breathe
stable and be brave enough to doone step and then another one and then
another one. You don't have tojust watch the end of the line and
(31:15):
see that it is so far away. You just have to feel yourself,
so really breathe and find detention thatis just going away, and whatever weather
condition try to destruct you. Youjust have to keep believing in yourself,
finding your own balance, your owncenter of gravity, and then when you
(31:41):
feel that you are stable and sureof death, you can do the one
step and go forward. So that'sthe secret, believing yourself that you can
do it and never give up.Then yeah, so even if you fall,
you just have to jump back onthe line and try again. There
(32:02):
is not like, oh I'm notI'm not affect. At the first time,
this was gymnastic background. I alreadyleft and I grew up from that.
Now I can fail and I cancome back on the line and track.
So that's what I will suggest toeverybody want to steps lackline. Don't
get annoyed if you don't make itat the first time. You have a
(32:25):
all afternoon a list to try towalk five meters of line, and then
you can keep going and maybe you'regonna walk one thousand meter of line one
day. But if you don't startwith one step. You never they're not
gonna yeah, just baby steps.And it's a lesson for a life.
(32:46):
And now you're going to see somepictures and videos. That's my favorite part.
So let's check it out. Thisis excellent photos. You're you're not
wearing anything up. They let youdo that there. Now, maybe a
(33:09):
car was coming. I love theopposite direction. See I remember that moment.
Somebody can stop and make a picturefrom the other spars. That's great.
I don't know what they wanted tofind. They can find something.
I love it. Well, it'sless weight. You know that you have
to worry about carrying across the wirewith her that rope. This time was
(33:34):
when I went to a verro inPortugal to with a slack line friend that
was working on a cruise ship thatwas my coach for two days and put
me like workout to do like fiveminutes now stop with a music of show
that is close enough to the fourminutes and a half of the slack life
(34:00):
and routine that we have in theintense maximum performance show Onward the Wonder of
the Seas. And that's how Itrained to go on the ship. So
here and then we highlight around Spainand Italy. Very cool. Yeah,
how cool. Here's the show right, Oh, here we go. Yes,
(34:25):
I love this, Oh my god, it's okay. Yeah, yeah,
it's so beautiful that. Like whenyou are in a setup like that,
you have to understand the timing,the weight of the other person and
to be synchronized or to be totallyopposite is a hard challenge, but it's
(34:51):
the funny part because you get thepossibility and the challenge at the same time
to understand and anticipate the other personthat is your body in on the line.
So you have to find a wayto be synchronized when the ship is
moving, when it's splashing everywhere everywherebecause it's a rocky and or the line
(35:17):
is not so perfect pension. Butyou cannot have everything perfect every time,
so you have to adapt yourself andkeep watching, keep speaking with the other
person to make the performance at themaximum as it's supposed to be. There
we go. But when it cameout like that is perfect. Yeah.
(35:42):
Yeah, this is on the trampoline. You can see there is a Orlando
in the back. So if thereare a lot of people, probably they
are waiting for the shuttle. FromNASA. That's cool because every like once
a month or once every two months, we were seeing the shatles going the
(36:07):
sky and then come back in thebase in Orlando, in Port Canada where
there is the base of NAZA andit was so cool. But we were
practicing at the same time. Soat this moment I was what was on
the practice? There we go,that's the that's yeah, that's crazy.
(36:30):
Oh my gosh, that's the kindof stuff. Remember, always use the
leash, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So the high line because
on the cruise ship you have tobe able to do both trick line in
seyn chrome with a partner and highline that is seventeen meters up or sixty
(36:52):
feet up in the air from thefrom the audience, and you have to
balance on a movie ship when he'srocking a wind and sometimes they got done
forgot to they stand this tabilizator.So it's very hard. Man. If
(37:13):
you want to train it like thetower and the line of the sea that
go up and down. Now,oh, that would be impossible. You're
bouncing, the ship is bouncing.You're bouncing. Oh wow, you don't
drink a little before you bouncing?Shaking, I love this picture so beautiful.
(37:35):
Yeah, yeah, from that fromnext seventeen, a photographer from the
Caribbean Band. He was making pictureand it is so good and it is
so cool because he made he knewthis show and was making the picture in
the same moment from up and fromdown. So there is one split that
I do upside down that the takefrom down and from up. That is
(38:00):
so cool. You know, itlooks a lot higher than sixty feet up
there. That looks away higher.I'm sorry, Yeah, I don't know.
Maybe it's just because it was veryvery close to the line west,
it looked like it was it wasfar away. Yeah, I would be
(38:21):
dizzy up there. Imagine my diversethat have to jump from there. Oh
no, no, oh, thisis the best day of my life.
That's cool. It was my birthdayduring my first Red Black Warriors competition.
Yeah, this is recent too,And in that moment, yeah, they
(38:42):

the Yeah, so I was too, don't get distracted. But it was
like with a super smile like likethat on the line you said, this

(41:13):
spared to meet you in Brazil.You're the champ. Yeah, that's amazing.
Yeah, I will teach you blackLine for sure. And tell us
a little about your current sponsors.Okay, my current sponsors are Spiders black
(41:37):
Linets helped me to really get passionatein this black Line and support me since
five years now four years. Yeah, and now I am the key leader.
So does mean that I can choosewho else get the same sponsorship and
(42:00):
I can join the family. AndI have my family business on sport that
provide me everything that is with somestamps on it. Like all the gear
sports gear that I want. I'mdeveloping is a secret. But I will
(42:21):
not just say the product I've ben'tgoing to develop a protection personalized for girls
and guys that can do that canbe useful for trick line and highline and
also for a relst onboard or arelist in general. Is some kind of
(42:45):
special plans that you can choose yourgraphics and I hope before the end of
the year is going to go inthe shop of Spider's Lackline, so you
can have and it comes from anidea that we need to save that area
of the body is very important forgrowing up the community. That's and and
(43:12):
then I can say, h ar physiotherapy of course, that helped me
to recover from my first injury,and I come back on the ship for
my second contract and this miracle offasterabilitation for God to red Hood competition,
and I hope, really hope oneday, who knows, maybe also red
(43:37):
woll Italia can maybe be interesting insponsoring a slacker. I think, you
know, I think whatever, they'regonna be knocking on your door real soon.
Yeah, absolutely, My whole isgonna be like everything for that.
(43:58):
Yeah, well you know, butI understood. My next question is going
to be asked, what's your what'syou Where you see yourself in a year
from now? But from the soundsof it, you're probably gonna be a
millionaire if you have a new productcoming out, so you'll be you'll be
going to be a red Bull organizerof by events. No, I mean
(44:20):
in a year from now, wheredo you see yourself? What do you
see yourself doing? Real quickly,we're just we're just maybe I will I
will say at the end of theone year right now can be that I
just finished their work up, somaybe I can believe and hope to be
on the podum this year because thereare so many Japanese girls that are practicing
(44:44):
every day in beautiful sentence with amazingtreeclimers, so it's gonna be hard to
practice like them, but the motivationis high. So the Podum is my
aim. My aim is to organizeevents in Italy, so maybe it can
really be a Red Bull event,like to start the sequel again because ten
(45:06):
years ago was the first Red Bulliroline competition in Naples, so maybe next
year can be starting again from Italy. And I want to do because I
want to buy a van, soI want to have this van so we'll
be able to go all around Europeand be some kind of inspiration to girls
(45:30):
but also guys that needs some motivationor push to start tricklining or blackline in
general. So I would like tobe an ambassador that go with all the
gear with me and go around andtry to really promote home by home,
(45:51):
door by door the sport because forme, black life is a style of
life and it's sharing. You cannotjust do in your own garden. You
have to go all around and spreadthis message that for me really saved my
life. Yes, that's amazing,and I cannot just be quiet and keep
(46:12):
it everything. For me, I'mnot so selfish. I want to take
whatever Black Life teach me and tryto give to everybody, because for me,
really change everything and change my mindsetat the point that now I feel
that if I have I aim,I can just think about doing one step
(46:36):
at the time. And before Iwas just thinking about the volume as a
gymnas and if I was felling before, I was just trying crying and be
mad at myself. Now, whathappened in the World Cup was the same.
I didn't give my maximum performance becauseof lack of training on this kind
(46:57):
of line. But at the endof the day, I was so proud
of myself because I keep this minduntil the end of the competition. I
keep supporting the other girls, andI keep supporting the sharing of life of
that moment, in that moment,in that place, and that is what's
slack life teaching. That's awesome,man, you know, that's that's wonderful.

over. We're glad to have youhere. Glad to have you Yeah,
thank you very much for being herewith you us tonight. Thank you for
(06:36):
this opportunity. Ja. What isyour weather over there in u Italy where
you're at, and tell us thetown you're in again, Tuscany. In
Tuscany, Now it is warm,actually that is midnight, so it's getting
colder because there is a lot ofchange of temperatory between the day that is
(06:58):
around twenty five twenty seven and duringthe night fifteen. So you're are you're
you're not having the super hot whetherthe rest of us are having. Huh,
you're doing okay over there? Yeah, I have that during the day,
but then during the night is gettingsuper cold. That's why I'm a
bit cold. Good sleeping weather,sleeping in them two days ago, good
(07:24):
sleeping We're there. Hey, Well, let's let's start by this. Let's
first, have you explained the differencebetween high line, trick line, and
slack line, so that we allunderstand what that is. Okay, So
slack line for me and for Ithink everybody is the discipline the sport that
include everything. Then there are differentcategories. It depends from the size the
(07:50):
wideness of the line. So wespeak about slack line or trick line.
If there is two inch line ofbeing where there is a like fifteen meters
thirty meters. If it's a goodtrick line with a lot of tension,
so you can walk, but youcan also bounce and do acrobatic stuff of
(08:15):
debt, and that's the trick lineand high line. It cames basically from
the long line, so it's oneinch of webbing and you basically work.
You can do statics treats. Butif you put higher in the sky so
we can say more than ten metershigher, and you have the leash so
(08:39):
you are double backup, you canwork, but you can also bounce and
you can walk like super long distance, like even thousands of meters long.
But you can even bounce and doflips like Salami. She was, she's
like the world champion and my friendand she was also guests in your show
(09:07):
and do crazy tricks and the highline. She's amazing and I'm glad.
I believe I introduced you to Ihope I did. Anyway, I'm glad.
Yeah, you made everything happen,So I thank you bird, you're
very well. I'm glad that workedout. Yeah, well, listen,
I want I was going to ask. I wondered how wide that slack line
was and you said two inches,and thank you for doing inches instead of
(09:28):
centimeters, because that's not I appreciate. But now high line, is that
just a rope? Yeah, that'sthat's yeah, that's it. There are
two two because I told you thatis a bakeup. So there is the
main line that have more tension,and there is the bakeup line that shouldn't
have so much tension but just needsto be activated in case the main line
(09:54):
breaks or something in the system breaks. So you have you are backup to
Alish that is linked with a ringthat passed. We're inside passed both of
the line, the main and theyback up so in case something happened in
the first one, there is asecond one that is gonna get intention because
(10:16):
you are folding, but you're notgonna fall unless you like to do free
solo and you decide to at thatfisk suicide. I don't recommend and I
wouldn't say. I didn't say anythingabout it, not recommended. Yeah,
we don't do this, no love, save the first your life first place.
(10:39):
Yes, save it guys. Andhow did you first become involved in
this like line? This is actuallya very funny story. So I was
a gymnast before for about fifteen years, and at one point that was study
management engineer, and my studies thelessons were all in the all the day
(11:03):
long, so in the afternoon Iwas not able anymore to go in the
gym and practice gymnastics. So myboyfriend at the time, he proposed me
to join his team that was practicinghis latline in a gym that was the
gym of the team against my gymnasticteam. So I say, okay,
(11:26):
I will go with sign up asas letliner, but in secret, I
will keep doing gymnastics because I willbe able to go by night and practice
with them. But they were notgoing to be anybody to see me or
check if I am doing this lackline really and I say, okay,
I will go, But then Irealized that they were cameras and some gymnasts
(11:50):
they're watching me, so I getlike forced to start laclining. But this
was just the beginning because one lessonand I fell in love, and the
competition with my boyfriend at the timeheld me to keep progressing so much.
And I realized after one year thatGymnastic, after fifteen years, was giving
(12:13):
me the same treats if I wastraining a lot instead, if I was
just going to dose black line.Every time that I was doing a training,
I was learning at least one ortwo new treats. Yeah, are
you better than you? Okay,I have more chance. Are you better
than him? Now that's my girl. I got one year to make it
(12:41):
happen. I love it. Ilove it rock. But the last competition
three days ago, he beat mebecause I was injured. So I just
did a show and I let himpass. I love it, Okay,
it is for a good reason.That's so funny, and it is nice
(13:05):
because you have a background before that, so you just improve it something that
you already knew. That's why yougot so good so fast. And talking
about that, how many hours perweek you spend training in the gym and
practicing this black line. Okay,so from when I start, since when
(13:31):
I start to do the black line, I changed my gym in this lack
line, like going on this lackline, I do my workout and the
only moment when I go to thegymer is when I need I have some
injury to do some kind of maintenanceof the body. And I had to
(13:52):
go for do that specific exercize.And if I have like super closed the
injury, I can say I cango four times a week for one hour
every time, because like this youcan do maintenance. But if not,
I just go on the line andlet's it, you know, speaking of
(14:13):
that injury, speaking of that injury, like you you've injured your right knee
right, and first of all,yeah, how did you do? How
did that happened? And it hasn'thad any effect on your performance at all?
Obviously you kind of alluded that itdoes a little bit. How did
you do that? So there isa video that explained it's very very easy.
(14:35):
But I just I was doing oneof the hardest school but that I
ever did in my life. Butthat I was practicing because I wanted to
improve and put myself in outside fromthe comfort zone. And I did a
new trick that I learned one weekbefore, not two weeks before. Then
(14:56):
a backflip, then a backflip witha trick sixty and in the three sixty
was a bit lower, so myleg gets stopped inside like in the line,
and then line is like and Ineeded like soul. So this is
the the the explanation. But mybody or my mind can say that after
(15:26):
nine months of contract where I wasdoing show almost every day and then directly
fly to stut Care to participate tothe work up and start a one month
and a half of road trip aroundEurope doing something like seven thousand kilometers just
(15:46):
to go to all the competition foralmost two months or one one month and
a half every weekend I was competing. After the last competition, like before
at pool, I say, okay, now I'm gonna start practicing for red
Wood, and I went on thewaterline. I did one extra training that
(16:07):
my body should say no, youshould rest in that day, not go
and train again. And that's whathappened that I did. In that extra
overwork, I made a serious questionfor you, very serious question you did
that's your knee? Did you cry? No? I didn't cry. I
(16:32):
was like super nervous and you knowwhat is written here? Yeah, yeah,
So in that moment, like everytime that I have an injury,
there is the first reaction and sometimesI start to cry. I'm like super
bad. I did one day oflike whether like if somebody that is dead,
(16:56):
and I cry and and then Isay, okay, I wake up
and I had to recover. Thattime, I was feeling that my aims
was to go to Redwood competition,and in that exactly moment, I say,
okay, now start my abilitation.I went to buy the stumps.
I don't know what's the name,and then the tutor and I take the
(17:21):
medicine, and I booked the MRAand I booked the physio and they booked
all the session double session every dayuntil the day of the before the flight.
Because my aim was okay, ifthe emerry results are not so bad,
if my croshauto is good, Ican't make it. And I did
double session of physotherapy every day,spending like six hundred euros in one week
(17:48):
of physotherapy in double session, andI don't know how many machines. And
I came back to work two daysbefore and then the day of the competition,
I work again on the slack line. Yeah, well you're gonna be
okay. That's the most important thing. Good for you, Good for you,
Yes, but the motivation was high. Yes, that's the best residence
(18:15):
is when you don't just go down. You just see that there is a
problem and you try to put yourpositive way. You keep smiling and you
face that problem and then you youever passed that. Yeah, that's a
good lesson kids. So yes,do not give up and be resilient.
(18:41):
Well, we are going to allmeal break, so don't go away.
We'll be back right after these messages. A few years ago, someone asked
crew to Beigest owner Darren Bush.Hey, how long have you guys been

we are Jackson Kayak, and weare we are Jackson John We agree,
we are Jackson Kayak and we're backwith Jaro regularly. Do you want
(21:23):
to tell us? Tell us thetype of gymnastics you do and how you
incorporate that into your slack line machinesbecause that's interesting m hm. So I
are a little that when I doexercise, I prefer going directly on the
(21:44):
line and activate all that little andside muscles that are supporting the main muscles
that you usually train and when youwait classic exercise. So exact well,
if you do a squad over theline, you need to do like just
(22:04):
ten squad on the line, andit's the same result of if you're doing
one hundred squad on the ground.So that's how I start to do to
put all the exercise that I wasdoing as a workout using the instability of
the line. So first of all, all your muscles, all your breathing,
(22:29):
all your focus is integrated in theworkout and make you works more.
So example, if you do apistol squad or over a line, good
luck is hard. But if youmay, if you manage to find your
(22:49):
balance when you do that, thatyou're going to understand that you don't need
to use only that main muscle,but you can at the support of the
other muscle to do the same exercise, and then you're gonna understand it is
gonna be easy, even easier andthat's what I do. I try to
(23:10):
think about all the exercise that Ineed. Basically starting took the physotherapy and
then I put on the line.So for example, there is this black
gym of from Spider's Black Line thatI bring. I broke inside my physotherapy,
so for the rebilitation of the knee, I did all the exercise over
(23:33):
that. So I did their rebilitationssuper fast. Wow, and that's a
that's what slack line have a big, big, huge potential. Yeah,
that's amazing for my point of viewand not in all the mind. Yeah,
you can work out and have funand be conscious about your body and
(23:55):
your brief that's real amazing. Ifeel like I want to try that or
sure, that's amazing and tell usabout what you do. Watch Wander Off
the Sea Crows line my dream job? Can I see that? For the
(24:17):
dream job of all this decliner ora gymnos like me? Because I am
in a cast in a group ofpeople that are world champions or went to
the Olympics. They are synchronous swimmer, professional divers, high divers, martial
artists, dancers, and I getthe opportunity to share nine months of contract
(24:41):
with them on board the biggest shipof the world. And I was practicing
with them every day in the gymin the aqua theater. So in the
pool and I get the opportunity tolearn how to dive that my original dream
to do after gymnastics, and Istart to do all the bases, all
(25:06):
the techniques of diving, because thereis also a trampoline and the springboard and
tremiter, the meter platform, andthere is a lot of things to do
in the acqua theaters. So ifyou're gonna ta on a contract, you
do the show. You do thework that you have to do for as
a crew member, for to explainthe safety to the guests that arrive every
(25:33):
Sunday. But if you manage touse the other time that you are like
free, you can really practice andbecame a better version of yourself. You
can push yourself out from the comfortzone and learn so many stuff. I
was playing drums every night. Wehave differ life and around the ship.
(25:57):
Ask you how you got drums?How did you ever? Because I was
a drummer, and I'm thinking,here she is on the gym going crazy.
I'm like, you know what's funny. I jumped into the with the
band first time I had ever beenon a car. I jumped into the
band and played a full hour withthem. It was so much fun.
I thought, yeah, that's crazy, that's crazy. My first time was
(26:22):
in the school and was with mybest friend interesting that was a drummer and
we started to do drumming jamber together. And in his last show he was
playing drums and all the school waswas playing the jamb and unfortunately he was
(26:48):
with a cancer, so he died. Since that time, for me,
all the passions that he tried toto be resilient and keep growing, I
bring with me and everything that Igo on the stage, I perform for
him too, so we we havethe double energy and everything that I try
(27:11):
to drama is just not only me, and I know that he's super proud
of me because I keep practicing learning. And then my boyfriend, when I
started to see him, he wasa dramma too, so it was like
(27:33):
destiny. And with the friends wego around and I that from last year
that I was injured, I askedto a jam Bay coach at his puppy
PM from Seinegal is an amazing guy. He starts to teach me and from
(27:53):
that moment I start to go toevery show that he goes. In the
summer. I was going with himand I was following him with the Khan
because he was playing the jambai andI was not able to dance because I
was injury. They was just sittingon the khan and try to follow to
learn at the same time of hisperformance. And yesterday said yesterday, I
(28:17):
meet him again and tomorrow we haveanother show. What I'm gonna do drumming
and slack line for children? Ohwow, how cool? A big family.
Yeah, I'm going to shift gearsfor a second. Here. Let
me ask you, and I'm kindof jumping hill a bit, but I'm
gonna ask you, where are yougoing to be competing for the rest of
(28:38):
this year? Where else are yougoing? What a competitions? So my
aim now is to buy a vanbecause I needed to finish my slack life
vibes road trip around Europe. Imiss in Spain and Portugal and I need
to go there and compete. Andthen they aim the dream at least is
(29:03):
to go with a little boat fromTeneriff to World Way, take a vent
there, go to Argentina and thenBrazil and go to do the championship in
Brazil too. You can stay hito min. Yeah, of course,
that's cool. We are going totalk about that. Brazil. This my
(29:27):
dream, like my this year,I will go to Brazil. I've been
listening every night for Brazilian guys speakingfrom not understanding nothing. At the end
I understand. So now I haveto go to Brazilian practice. That's cool.
And by the way, guys,we spoke in Portuguese before the show,
(29:48):
so she really speaks. Is amazing. Yeah, there we go.
That's so cool. We're going tomeet up for sure. But well for
now, we want to know yoursecret for perfecting the type of balance and
(30:10):
coordination that it takes to be aslack line competition. Apostle Concigo. This
is like I want, I can, I want I do it. So
(30:32):
this is the what my idol actuallyJovana the Trucci from Brazil that is the
Black Queen since ten years she toldme that is her secret and is something
similar to what I was saying tomyself every time that I was on that
(30:55):
line and focusing on the end ofthe line and try to keep that breathe
stable and be brave enough to doone step and then another one and then
another one. You don't have tojust watch the end of the line and
(31:15):
see that it is so far away. You just have to feel yourself,
so really breathe and find detention thatis just going away, and whatever weather
condition try to destruct you. Youjust have to keep believing in yourself,
finding your own balance, your owncenter of gravity, and then when you
(31:41):
feel that you are stable and sureof death, you can do the one
step and go forward. So that'sthe secret, believing yourself that you can
do it and never give up.Then yeah, so even if you fall,
you just have to jump back onthe line and try again. There
(32:02):
is not like, oh I'm notI'm not affect. At the first time,
this was gymnastic background. I alreadyleft and I grew up from that.
Now I can fail and I cancome back on the line and track.
So that's what I will suggest toeverybody want to steps lackline. Don't
get annoyed if you don't make itat the first time. You have a
(32:25):
all afternoon a list to try towalk five meters of line, and then
you can keep going and maybe you'regonna walk one thousand meter of line one
day. But if you don't startwith one step. You never they're not
gonna yeah, just baby steps.And it's a lesson for a life.
(32:46):
And now you're going to see somepictures and videos. That's my favorite part.
So let's check it out. Thisis excellent photos. You're you're not
wearing anything up. They let youdo that there. Now, maybe a
(33:09):
car was coming. I love theopposite direction. See I remember that moment.
Somebody can stop and make a picturefrom the other spars. That's great.
I don't know what they wanted tofind. They can find something.
I love it. Well, it'sless weight. You know that you have
to worry about carrying across the wirewith her that rope. This time was
(33:34):
when I went to a verro inPortugal to with a slack line friend that
was working on a cruise ship thatwas my coach for two days and put
me like workout to do like fiveminutes now stop with a music of show
that is close enough to the fourminutes and a half of the slack life
(34:00):
and routine that we have in theintense maximum performance show Onward the Wonder of
the Seas. And that's how Itrained to go on the ship. So
here and then we highlight around Spainand Italy. Very cool. Yeah,
how cool. Here's the show right, Oh, here we go. Yes,
(34:25):
I love this, Oh my god, it's okay. Yeah, yeah,
it's so beautiful that. Like whenyou are in a setup like that,
you have to understand the timing,the weight of the other person and
to be synchronized or to be totallyopposite is a hard challenge, but it's
(34:51):
the funny part because you get thepossibility and the challenge at the same time
to understand and anticipate the other personthat is your body in on the line.
So you have to find a wayto be synchronized when the ship is
moving, when it's splashing everywhere everywherebecause it's a rocky and or the line
(35:17):
is not so perfect pension. Butyou cannot have everything perfect every time,
so you have to adapt yourself andkeep watching, keep speaking with the other
person to make the performance at themaximum as it's supposed to be. There
we go. But when it cameout like that is perfect. Yeah.
(35:42):
Yeah, this is on the trampoline. You can see there is a Orlando
in the back. So if thereare a lot of people, probably they
are waiting for the shuttle. FromNASA. That's cool because every like once
a month or once every two months, we were seeing the shatles going the
(36:07):
sky and then come back in thebase in Orlando, in Port Canada where
there is the base of NAZA andit was so cool. But we were
practicing at the same time. Soat this moment I was what was on
the practice? There we go,that's the that's yeah, that's crazy.
(36:30):
Oh my gosh, that's the kindof stuff. Remember, always use the
leash, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So the high line because
on the cruise ship you have tobe able to do both trick line in
seyn chrome with a partner and highline that is seventeen meters up or sixty
(36:52):
feet up in the air from thefrom the audience, and you have to
balance on a movie ship when he'srocking a wind and sometimes they got done
forgot to they stand this tabilizator.So it's very hard. Man. If
(37:13):
you want to train it like thetower and the line of the sea that
go up and down. Now,oh, that would be impossible. You're
bouncing, the ship is bouncing.You're bouncing. Oh wow, you don't
drink a little before you bouncing?Shaking, I love this picture so beautiful.
(37:35):
Yeah, yeah, from that fromnext seventeen, a photographer from the
Caribbean Band. He was making pictureand it is so good and it is
so cool because he made he knewthis show and was making the picture in
the same moment from up and fromdown. So there is one split that
I do upside down that the takefrom down and from up. That is
(38:00):
so cool. You know, itlooks a lot higher than sixty feet up
there. That looks away higher.I'm sorry, Yeah, I don't know.
Maybe it's just because it was veryvery close to the line west,
it looked like it was it wasfar away. Yeah, I would be
(38:21):
dizzy up there. Imagine my diversethat have to jump from there. Oh
no, no, oh, thisis the best day of my life.
That's cool. It was my birthdayduring my first Red Black Warriors competition.
Yeah, this is recent too,And in that moment, yeah, they
(38:42):
were they were singing happy birthday tome, like of all the audience of
the Yeah, so I was too, don't get distracted. But it was
like with a super smile like likethat on the line you said, this
was the best birthday you've ever had. So I'm glad to hear that.
That's amazing. Yeah, absolutely less. Thank you Red Bull forever. Please
(39:05):
keep doing this kind of events,come to Italy. I can help you
to organize it, but please keepspreading these vibes around. Yeah, that's
so amazing. It was a beautiful, beautiful play. We need that's very
now. Where is this hat?Yeah? Look oh that people. Yeah
(39:30):
it's the same same picture, butthe other from another angle in Estonia.
Same picture was so crazy. That'sfat. Yeah, a crossing of everything.
It's beautiful. Yeah, you know, we got a video too.
(39:53):
We're gonna we're gonna show very coolvideo. And by the way, so
yeah we got We've not enough time. We're gonna little long time. But
I think actually we're it'll be fine. Let's take a look at that.
We're gonna watch Giarda regularly in action. Uncon is here, lose the answer,
(40:15):
Unson is here laws oh yeah yeahssweeny time, and I guess heavy
your amusement. I guess Hovidnsen ishere, lose the Unson is here?
(40:35):
Love is then swerve, Unseen ishere lose the Yeah. Any time I
guess Heavy, you'll music, AndI guess Hovid n soon is here low
down side. That's amazing, that'sso cool. My gosh, you've been
(41:13):
spared to meet you in Brazil.You're the champ. Yeah, that's amazing.
Yeah, I will teach you blackLine for sure. And tell us
a little about your current sponsors.Okay, my current sponsors are Spiders black
(41:37):
Linets helped me to really get passionatein this black Line and support me since
five years now four years. Yeah, and now I am the key leader.
So does mean that I can choosewho else get the same sponsorship and
(42:00):
I can join the family. AndI have my family business on sport that
provide me everything that is with somestamps on it. Like all the gear
sports gear that I want. I'mdeveloping is a secret. But I will
(42:21):
not just say the product I've ben'tgoing to develop a protection personalized for girls
and guys that can do that canbe useful for trick line and highline and
also for a relst onboard or arelist in general. Is some kind of
(42:45):
special plans that you can choose yourgraphics and I hope before the end of
the year is going to go inthe shop of Spider's Lackline, so you
can have and it comes from anidea that we need to save that area
of the body is very important forgrowing up the community. That's and and
(43:12):
then I can say, h ar physiotherapy of course, that helped me
to recover from my first injury,and I come back on the ship for
my second contract and this miracle offasterabilitation for God to red Hood competition,
and I hope, really hope oneday, who knows, maybe also red
(43:37):
woll Italia can maybe be interesting insponsoring a slacker. I think, you
know, I think whatever, they'regonna be knocking on your door real soon.
Yeah, absolutely, My whole isgonna be like everything for that.
(43:58):
Yeah, well you know, butI understood. My next question is going
to be asked, what's your what'syou Where you see yourself in a year
from now? But from the soundsof it, you're probably gonna be a
millionaire if you have a new productcoming out, so you'll be you'll be
going to be a red Bull organizerof by events. No, I mean
(44:20):
in a year from now, wheredo you see yourself? What do you
see yourself doing? Real quickly,we're just we're just maybe I will I
will say at the end of theone year right now can be that I
just finished their work up, somaybe I can believe and hope to be
on the podum this year because thereare so many Japanese girls that are practicing
(44:44):
every day in beautiful sentence with amazingtreeclimers, so it's gonna be hard to
practice like them, but the motivationis high. So the Podum is my
aim. My aim is to organizeevents in Italy, so maybe it can
really be a Red Bull event,like to start the sequel again because ten
(45:06):
years ago was the first Red Bulliroline competition in Naples, so maybe next
year can be starting again from Italy. And I want to do because I
want to buy a van, soI want to have this van so we'll
be able to go all around Europeand be some kind of inspiration to girls
(45:30):
but also guys that needs some motivationor push to start tricklining or blackline in
general. So I would like tobe an ambassador that go with all the
gear with me and go around andtry to really promote home by home,
(45:51):
door by door the sport because forme, black life is a style of
life and it's sharing. You cannotjust do in your own garden. You
have to go all around and spreadthis message that for me really saved my
life. Yes, that's amazing,and I cannot just be quiet and keep
(46:12):
it everything. For me, I'mnot so selfish. I want to take
whatever Black Life teach me and tryto give to everybody, because for me,
really change everything and change my mindsetat the point that now I feel
that if I have I aim,I can just think about doing one step
(46:36):
at the time. And before Iwas just thinking about the volume as a
gymnas and if I was felling before, I was just trying crying and be
mad at myself. Now, whathappened in the World Cup was the same.
I didn't give my maximum performance becauseof lack of training on this kind
(46:57):
of line. But at the endof the day, I was so proud
of myself because I keep this minduntil the end of the competition. I
keep supporting the other girls, andI keep supporting the sharing of life of
that moment, in that moment,in that place, and that is what's
slack life teaching. That's awesome,man, you know, that's that's wonderful.
