    By  Andy Corbley Jul 14, 2023

    Up on the Colorado ski slopes in 2017, a man was suspended from a chairlift by the strap of his backpack coiled around his neck. Nearby, professional slackliner and ski instructor Mickey Wilson knew that there was no one better trained to affect a rescue than he.

    For those outside of the know, slacklining is a fun activity similar to tightrope walking in which people practice balance, nerve, and coordination by walking and doing tricks on a single line of nylon strapping that has a lot of bounce.

     

  • Andrew Tripp Is an All-Star Union Organizer — and a Kick-Ass Cross-Country Coach, Too

    By DEREK BROUWER  for Seven Days

    Published February 22, 2023 at 10:00 a.m. | Updated February 23, 2023 at 10:33 a.m.

    Running coach Andrew Tripp greeted the high schoolers who trickled into Norwich University‘s field house with a hearty warning: A brutal workout was in store, starting with three laps around the indoor track — 600 meters at full speed.

    Referring to the final turn, the U-32 coach said, “It’s going to hurt very badly, but only for 15 seconds, OK?”

    Normally, Tripp, who is 52, would have been running with them. But he had a cold, so he reverted to his race-day role of sideline encouragement, which he delivers in an emotional register that will stay imprinted in their amygdalae into adulthood.

    “Amy, let’s go, girl! Faster!”
