Great video! I wouldn't advise the 5.1 or 9.1 though, considering you use your webbing as tensioning system, and the second it twists in the rolex, it gets seriously damaged and it's done. And it happens all the time at some point, especially since we are rarely rigging with both feet on the ground and easy access to zll part like in this video.
Hi, Ich bewundere echt eure Fähigkeiten auf der Highline ;-) ;-). Bei euch sieht das so leicht aus. Ich bin in dem schönen Hobby frisch eingestiegen und bin Stolz nach 8 Trainingstagen mehrfach knapp 3m laufen zu können, Slackline 11m im Garten. Habe einige Dinge von Slacktivity gekauft und schaue eure Videos sehr gerne. Zur Zeit mache ich Pause, da meine Knie und Beine sehr brennen, es geht schwer weg. Habt ihr ein paar Tipps um dies vorzubeugen? Ist das ganz normal? Nette Grüße Kevin. PS: Ich liebe das "Seahorse".
Hi Kevin, zu Beginn ist es ganz normal, dass die Beine brennen. Koordinativ ist das Slackline sehr anspruchsvoll. Auch intramuskulär. Bei den ersten Versuchen oder auch jedes Mal wenn du eine neue Line probierst, ist deine Muskulatur sehr angespannt, weil der Körper noch nicht so recht weiss, welchen Muskel er wie stark ansteuern soll. Dadurch wirst du sehr schnell müde. Dies ist aber auch der Zeitpunkt, wo du deine Gelenke am meisten stabilisierst. Es sollte jedes Mal ein wenig besser und entspannter werden. Versuch insgesamt, deine Muskeln nicht übertrieben anzuspannen sondern einigermassen locker zu bleiben, so weit es geht.
Thank you for this great material, super interesting to watch! I have a question though- whats the advantage of a kingpin shackle over a screw- locked carabiner? Seems to le like its a lot easier to leave a shackle not locked completely with a pin than to leave a binner unsecured. I'm a rope access technician, just started walking on a slackline, and all those rigging techniques that you're using are familiar to me, but with a totally different equipment. I will be super grateful for Your answer!
First big difference is the breaking strength. Even though the weight is similar, the KingPin is 2-3x stronger compared to a carabiner. Also: Carabiners are really prone to cycling loading whereas the KingPin is much more resistent with it. Then a screw gate carabiner can unscrew with vibrations. In climbing this is mostly less of an issue, but in highlining much more so. Once the KingPin is properly locked it is a an extremely strong, safe and light weight option.
Für das Band ist die repetitive Belastung nicht wirklich ein Problem. Wenn wir aber Karabiner im Main-System hätten, wäre dies problematisch. Die grössten schwächenden Faktoren sind das UV-Licht und mechanische Schäden. Dieses Band ist zertifiziert für 6 Monate Dauer-Nutzung (auch Tage an denen die Line nicht benutzt wird aber in der Sonne hängt, zählen als Nutz-Tage).
I had seen the tutorial before getting on the line; When I went up for the first time I thought I was safe from the shaking (obviously it wasn't, it was quite uncomfortable) I only remembered the case of the bodybuilders. Seeing it again was very instructive and, above all, hopeful.
such a cool tutorial! we need more of these. love how it is explained in a holistic way. going through each progression even helps understanding some other lower level tricks technique
This has taken a few years! Nowadays it is much easier and faster to get there, but when Sam tried these tricks, highline freestyle was rather new. Many of the tricks have not been invented and the setups were not as performant as nowadays. Btw, the videos of the levels 8-10 are coming soon ^^
@@SlacktivityCh it was like that when i learnt juggling slow to begin with then the brain seems to open up to the concept and progress is much quicker ... great videos i look forward to more , if ever you need crypto guides i have a following on X any questions just ask ! have a great day!!!
Awesome that you like them!! Level 8 is already shot, just need to edit. For 9 & 10 we have to wait for better weather and conditions... Coming soon ;-)
One mistake i often see in the park is overusing the ground to get in the right position to stand up. If you get used to that little help, then on a highline it will be difficult to find yourself comfortable while positioning to stand up.
After about one month, I have just watched your video a 2nd time. In the meanwhile, I had a few highline sessions where I watched my friends rigging, and I also co-rigged. And - surprise, surprise: I think I could follow and understand every single step now! 🙂 I will probably watch your video again in maybe one or two months, just to see if I fully understood the whole rigging setup. Thanks again for this great video, merry christmas and a happy new year!
wait. so has my line been to tight? Man. I been really cranking on the line to make it as tight as I could . . . come to find out that I should set up higher, and make the line looser and pliable. I have been doing it all wrong. I will have to set up a looser line such that the line is setup high, but the slack brings the line lower so I can easily stand on the line from a lowered height. I didn't know that the slack and the give of the line helps with balance. I will say, though, that i had some clues that this could have been true, as I found that when I bounced up and down on the line, even if it was a tight line, that I had a bit more balance at times. I think that is the same principle, sort of, using line movement and sway as a way to keep the balance.
Happy you learned something from this video :) In the end it is not about right or wrong. To improve your balance and joint stability it is best to work with all different tensions and slackline lengths. But to walk blindfold, looser lines are clearly easier ;-)
And the fingers are already perfectly warmed up from the rocket mounts..Tbh, I love the mix of both sports - specially in a location like Magic Woods it is just perfect!
