Slackliner Performs Dangerous Stunt With Crocodiles

A professional slackliner from Alaska decided to make his unusual performance even more extreme with the help of crocodiles in Colorado, USA.

A daredevil stunt of Josh Beaudoin was filmed by his nervous friends, while his reptile “enemies” were also there waiting for him to fall.

The 33-year-old man was walking a slackline across a swamp filled with at least nine hungry alligators swimming right beneath him.

As he finally approached the bank, the adrenalin-loving slackliner even started swinging from side to side on one foot.

Fortunately, Mr Beaudoin managed to make to it to safety and praised his dangerous assistants with fatty slabs of meat.

Commenting on his madcap stunt Beaudoin said: “When you are in my line of work the “what ifs” are entertaining to think about and at times very important.

But it is important to acknowledge fear but you must not let it control you. The more you embrace it with a smile and can back it up with experience. 

At one point I looked down and counted at least nine alligators underneath me and saw that there were others coming to get in on the action. 

It was at that point that I completely realized that there was absolutely no room for error. Walking and surfing over them definitely got their attentions.”

Slacklining refers to use of webbing tensioned between two anchor points to balance and walk. It resembles slack rope walking and tightrope walking as the line is held under tension.
