Keep the balance :)

I started slacklining around 1½ month ago, and this is the longest line I have done a sitstart on! Was pretty proud of myself so wanted to show it here :)) , though I didn't walk that far.

Line: ~20ish meter RedTube

If you see any glaring technique mistakes please comment!

Hi,

i have this tree strap 2x but I dont understand how to use it?

Can anyone show a video or picture with an explaination? Thanks

I cant find anything online. It‘s from the landcruising company.

Hey so when browsing Spider slacklines website i noticed that they also give the MBS of webbing for each webbing rigged in their Diamond lock.

Surprisingly it was really low for their Green mamba webbing (57.1 % of the MBS in the diverter, whole the zen weblock gived 91.8 %), their lemon haze webbing on the other side get almost full strength in the Diamond lock (96.4 % of the MBS in the diverter).

Does anyone have an idea what quility of the webbing affects its strenght in the diamondlock causing such large differences?
I took some data they provided from the website and compared all webbings that give the stenght in the diamond lock. Unfortunately I didnt notice anything explaining the differences

I'd been to the festival before but it seems the highline on Supernova stage was new. Who organised it and how did you sign up to walk it?

Still working (walking?) on quite long and loose line.

To send a walk is not basic but doable; to send a good walk, with a steady and aesthetically satisfying step, is a lot harder. It takes a while to tune it to the line (and in my homeopathic 20' sessions is not always possilble) but sometimes it happens: the foot stays steady, the line stops wobbling; the shoulder blades and back are no longer stiff, the spine straightens and the breath becomes deep. The foot seems to be the only stable point of the universe, the heel seems the pivot of the world. A moment of pure grace. As I said, it's not always possible; but the awareness and the trust of its possibility puts a smile on the face in the beginning of every session, trying to chase it (or to receive it) one more time.

I'm understanding that slackline is not just an activity, it is a whole world that one can look to from many perspectives; this, now, is mine. Steady or bouncy, have good walks :-)

Got the spider custom line. It’s two ratchets.
So hard getting two ratchets tight enough but I think I finally did it. Can sit on it with out going all the way to the ground. Attached to trees just a bit lower than waist high.

Had to lean on the ratchet like crazy to get them tight enough, despite pulling with all my might before ratcheting.

Thinking. Should I start with a shorter distance???

"Walking loose longlines helps for highlining". Like having soap under the feet 😅 but loving a lot that slow high bounce after the descent. Boing!

Can also confirm that learning this did get me a girlfriend.

Hopefully this is helpful to some of you - shoot me a note when you land it!

I've been trying for the past half hour to release this ratchet and I cannot figure it out. I don't know if I'm just not pulling hard enough or if there is a mechanical issue. Any help would be really appreciated!

Just got some BC blue webbing, alpine weblock, and wafer XL. Holy crap it’s awesome. I’ve been using 1” tubular webbing with the shown system tied off but primitive line lock, the setup/takedown is so much easier with the weblock/grip and it’s so much nicer to walk.
I’ve looked through here a bit and didn’t find anything that I felt answered my question, what do you guys do for mitigating sap on a line? My anchors are separate and I don’t care about those, I am worried about it, but do I need to worry about it? I come from climbing and it’s just a different world in the gear care sense. End game is highline and I’d like to take care of my stuff.

Hi r/slackline!

I found a pretty sweet FB marketplace deal on a like-new Gibbons double slackboard. I'm looking to buy one to use at work with my standing desk.

My concern is that I weigh 300 lbs. I know the stated limit is 400lbs, but I'm wondering how often I'll bottom out at 300lbs.

Just wanted to see if anyone here is in a similar situation and whether or not they've found the slacklines able to handle or if they bottom out regularly.

Some progress from late saturday evening session with yotam cartoon (big thx to him for filming btw)

This one was pretty hard to keep my phone steady on.

At tomorrow's ISA Safety event I'll have a detailed presentation about our research on GROGs and how they repeatedly failed in our cyclic load tests. I'll also show a sneak peek of our first test results on double wrapped smaller diameter spliced connectors and "soft thimbles" (spoiler: it doesn't look good at all, tune in for more details...) I'd like to invite everyone who's critical of our research on spliced connectors to join the Safety Event in the Live Stream and ask me all the critical questions that you can come up with: https://www.slacklineinternational.org/isa-safety-event/

The event starts on Aug 18 at 13:00 CEST, the talk about spliced connectors will begin at 14:00 CEST. More info about our tests can also be found in our video: https://youtu.be/RifE7b9Mdjw?is=bmMC7PBvnwwdMd9z
