If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be ?

I want to have stronger bones.

A phrase you say often ?

hahaha

A common misconception about yourself is :

That I can sleep on a slackline.

Your biggest fear is :

About a year ago, while walking a highline freesolo, an unexpected fear came to my mind in the middle of the line. I think that was the biggest fear I have ever had. I can’t do it since that day.

Your biggest worry is :

Now it’s my exams. Or rather the dates of exams, because I don’t know if I can be in time for the French Riviera Highline Meeting.

Tatranky – Czech hazelnut biscuits

A guilty pleasure of yours is :

Hours and hours of discovering new music on the internet.

Do you listen to music by slacklining ? and what’s your favourite song to ?

I don’t usually listen to music while walking, but when I do, it’s something like 90’s deep house or dub techno. When I was walking my first 100m+ longline, I was listening to Crystal Castles.

A green apple

The last text message you sent was:

“Cus, mas predstavu v kolik bysme mohli jet?”

luck

Webbing

What quality do you admire most in other people ?

single-mindedness

One mistake you’ve done rigging a highline ?

Didn’t fix myself while rigging.

Highlining should be completely free or there should be rules ?

Every highliner should know some rules about safety and protecting of nature.

What was your best slackline memories during the last year ?

The last highline of our Iceland trip. Heavy wind, beautiful scenery, birds flying around…

What goals would you like to achieve this year ?

100m highline would be nice. And to learn some new longline tricks. And try them on a highline.

Do you like chocolate ?

Love!

Love!
