The SLACKTIVITY-Pro Team rigs a highline between 2 cablecars on the Moléson Mountain in Switzerland. Samuel Volery uses his chance and sticks a handstand on this line with an amazing view. Slackline-Gear: www.slacktivity...
Awesome stuff as usual Sam, you are always inspiring! I have only walked lines in the park but I now have a nice pulley system (SMC 3" PMP doubles+multiplier and eddy brake) and hope to finally walk over 100ft soon. My best so far is about 90ft but I couldn't finish the last bit as the oscillations became too much to handle, hopefully tomorrow I will rig a nice ~120ft line and try to finally get past 100ft. Thank you for all of the great videos and information you provide the community!
Hey Sean! Have fun with the session today! Don't worry too much about the tension in the line - it is actually easier to have not too much tension as soon as you got used to walking rather loose lines!! Alleeeez, crush the 120ft today!!! ;-)
Thanks! I really like the feel of the line in the middle with the slower fun sway/surf but when I get near the anchors the oscillations become faster and harder to manage than the smooth surf feeling of the center and that is what throws me off at the end so far, I just need more practice!
I want to try the high line but I can't not afford that of Slackline activity. .I want to join 25m to another 25m x 50mm . So it will be a 50m x50mm. Do you think that will be okay. ..? ? And why are high lines double?
Hi Benjamin. Highlining can be a very safe sport if the set-up is good. However, it seems that you don't have a lot of experience yet. Is there no highliners in your contry or close that you can learn from? Or a chance for you to make a trip to a place where there is a highline festival? Just giving recommendations without knowing too much about the place and your gear is potentially dangerous. But so much: a 25m long polyester line is the absolute minimum for the forces on your body while falling!! The longer the line becomes, the lower the forces acting on your body...
SLACKTIVITY I live in #Der_Eifel not far from #Aachen in Germany. Recently there was a slackline festival around Cologne but I couldn't attend. and I'm a group member of Slackline Köln on Facebook, but I don't think there's an upcoming event. I will try to meet the group in Cologne and see what they have been doing. if I can learn from them. You can also tell me if you have an event coming up in Germany. I'm a refugee and I'm not allowed to travel beyond the borders of Germany . ... i have been going to one village to the other teaching the German children how to walk on a Slackline ... meanwhile i don't know many tricks. Your videos are really helpful. Thanks. Hope to meet you one day.
I'm not planning to organize events in Germany, but there are events going on throughout the year! Also check on the facebook page "slackline actions europe". And I'm sure that the slackliners in Köln will happily take you to some sessions and show you how to rig longer or higher lines!
Hi Sam, Is the 25m minimum new information? I whipped on a 13m line last year, suffered a severe delayed-onset concussion and haven't stepped foot on a line since. It appears to me that tons of people are still rigging lines shorter than 25m (including yourself?!), even at festivals where new highliners are likely to be experimenting on short lines.
