I quickly threw this together, a longer better edited version is soon to come with other locations and longer lines. I'd like to know what you think about this. Any suggestions of changing something or a way to make this more challenging is more than welcome. Urban lining is a term that I, as far as I know, made up to give a name to walking on hand rails next to side walks. I came up with the i...

    F’ing ridiculous 🙄 don’t be a lurker Not even a wizard pays 300$ for a wood pole. Check out “ski poles”they’ll blow your mind- you can still use them in tight spaces and they fit in your car without having to run them diagonally over someone’s shoulder and out an open window. If you don’t heard sheep or ski to pole vaulting practice, it’s time to upgrade.

    I’ve been rocking the lurk for the last 13 years here in souther British Columbia, it has many uses! Originally a curtain rod, now I use it touring, knocking branches out of the way, as a rudder for turning, prying myself up when I get too far back, pushing and pulling my kids around as they learn to ski, and don’t forget kung fu. It’s just a fun thing to hold and bomb around with, especially in deep powder! Spread the lurk, spread the smile

    Just made my first lurk. Waiting for the varnish to dry. One question, I see you skiing the trees with the two halves of the lurk. Are you worried about your face smashing into the stainless ferrule ends? I was thinking about making a couple protective caps. Thoughts?

    Very cool video and great skiing Marshell. I've seen tele skiers around the world using a lurk. At least half tip the lurk to the outside of the turn rather than inside. Have you tried both ways?

    I just came back from my first day skiing with a lurk, and I found it really awkward until I started putting the stick the opposite way from how you do it. Once I did that, it all fell in place. Any thoughts?

    Marsh, You are amazing! I wish you had different/closer views because I think you lose the impact of how hard slack lining is (especially standing up from a sit - going up/down hill etc.) and exactly what you are doing with your Urban lining (cool term btw).
