Last week at the Natural Products Expo West, Dean and ‘Whisper Dog’ were on site at the Flora trade show booth meeting customers and talking about the benefits of Udo’s oil. Dean’s been using the oil as a dietary supplement and has seen huge benefits in his strength, recovery time and injury prevention.
“Udo’s Oil is an organic blend of plant-sourced oils designed to supply the ideal ratio of Omega 3 & 6 fatty acids. It contains all the good fats you need”
~Dean Potter
Dean built an adjustable steel frame to set up a portable slack line, where he introduced slack lining to many show attendees and played around a bit too. Check out the video of Dean’s shortest slack line set up to date…
UPDATE: Check out this video of Dean and Scott Jurek teaching Amy Purdy how to slackline! As far as we know Amy is the first double amputee ever to get up on a line!

*** FIRST EVER YOGASLACKERS TEACHER TRAINING: MAY 20-30, 2011…APPLICATIONS NOW AVAILABLE ***
For the last few weeks I was able to attend the Acro Yoga Teacher Training which took place above the clouds in the mountains of Santa Barbara at the Laurel Springs Retreat Center. The beautiful place, people and atmosphere inspired me to play and train well beyond the scope of acrobatics. On the third day, before I was asked to take the slackline down in order to keep the focus on acrobatics Kadri Kurgan, captured some photos. Kadri is a yogi and extremely talented photographer. ~Chelsey Marie Gribbon
