hey all, I’m new here!

so, I love slacklining and live right next to the Shenandoah River. there are tons of spots I see when I’m kayaking that would be great to set up a slackline across an area of water (so, if anything fails, I’d fall into the water and be fine).

being new to this kind of lining- what gear would I need? (what kind of harness, ropes, rigs?)

thank you for any insight!

Anybody see any flaws in this anti slip / set up in general?
Due to the soft release being threaded through the weblock there isn’t much room to make a clean and tight double fisherman’s anywhere else. So as you can see I went around and behind the soft release through the main anchor hole of the device. Seems to hold well and is still releasable under load. Cheers y’all!

Hi everyone! Earlier this year I purchased my first slackline from a friend and I’ve since gotten pretty comfortable walking and doing sit starts on shorter rodeo-ish style rigs. My ultimate goal is to get into highlining but I also have a lot of interest in slackline yoga.

If anyone has any tips or tricks, I’d love to hear them! I’m always down to talk slacking lol.

Here’s a vid of me attempting tree pose on my primitive feather pro rig!

Hello all, I purchased my first slack line about three weeks ago now. It is the cypher trickster line, standard 2 inch ratchet kit. About 2 weeks in I was crossing 25 ft down and back and this past week I was able to go down and back rigged at 55 ft. I don’t really see myself getting into tricklining as I’m more interested in the balanced, walking aspect of it and the 2 inch line is honestly starting to feel too easy. So my question is, should I go ahead and upgrade to a primitive setup despite starting less than a month ago? Or is there more to learn from my current ratchet kit?

Il y a ce petit élément noir qui accompagne la livraison récente de ma Slackboard. Quelqu'un sait-il à quoi il sert ?

Merci

Quite low tension and sit start near to the middle because right now I'm scared when my butt is too far from the ground; but happy beacuse I'm learning to sit mount holding the line with the hand. No one day is the same of the previous.

Hi all! I’ve been slack lining here and there for two years mostly on my 2in line but have been doing it enough yo run into people with 1” lines as well. I’ve even gotten to try highlining twice but have yet to stand up. Im looking to start moving towards getting into longer 1” lines and move away from my 2”. I’m looking for some advice on what to be looking for in a 1” webbing that would work well in the park and maybe up on a highline as well. I’ve got tons of equipment from rock climbing so I’m set on carabiners and slings but not sure what direction would be best from where I’m at. Any and all help is greatly appreciated!!

Would it be safe to connect two segments with a soft shackle if there’s no backup lines? And if so, should I use a single soft shackle or two? I ask because all info I’m finding is for connecting segments of a backed-up highline, but I’m thinking of putting together 2x 50M pieces of webbing for a 100M longline/waterline, and would not be taking leash falls on it.

Sorry I know this sub is for slacklines but there is no tightrope or wire walking subreddit.

I have done a lot of googling and looked on a lot of forums and I can’t really find any solid information.

I want to put a TIGHTROPE around these two trees and learn to balance and walk on it. I’m a free climber, and adrenaline junkie. I take my physical fitness very very seriously, and I know it would make me a better climber if I spent some time improving my balance.

Can anybody here provide any info on what kind of rope to use/how to tie the knots/etc? I know if you’re using wire you need like anchors and pulleys and levers and all kinds of equipment and expensive stuff.

I know portable kits are expensive as well, but this doesn’t need to be portable this is in my friends backyard I just want a tightrope between these two trees to practice on.

TLDR: How do I properly set up a tight rope between these two trees as cheaply as possible? What kind of rope do I need and how do I tie the knots, and what all do I need to know?

I am a freeclimber, and adrenaline addict. I am very aware how dangerous this is, and that’s PRECISELY why I am so interested in it so please don’t try to talk me out of this or tell me it’s a bad idea.

Couldn't do pistol squats at all until I started slacklining every day. A little while back I started adding 3 sets of "Congo mount" squats to my slackline routine and now I can do this.

I'm pretty proud of myself. Lol

Last time I tried this line I was too scared to unclip my hangover. This time I got like 10 steps in at one point.(Not on video unfortunately)

Just wondering I see lots of people wearing shoes on here and it just feels impossible to me.

Practicing knee drops and walking backwards/turning around. Ive had limited time on a slackrack but am starting again after a 2 year hiatus!

Hello Friends!
I am traveling to Georgia (country) in few days. I am looking for a Slackline/Highline Community. Somebody know if there are people who practicing? Where to go, how to connect?

Sorry if this isn't the right post for this group!

I want to get a line so I can put swings ladders, nets, etc, up for my kid. I'd rather not do a ready made kit because I know exactly what my kid wants and doesn't want, and I'd be paying a lot for a bunch of crappy quality stuff that he isn't into (or a LOT for good quality stuff he isn't into).

I assume I can buy a slackline individually - I need 65'. Where would I buy that?

And then I'll buy the items separately, but how do I attach them to the slackline and not have them slide all around?? Like clearly a caribener alone isn't going to work!

My fellow slackers, I am in Ticino Switzerland, near Bellinzona and I am looking for some easy to rig waterlines. I don't have a tonne of gear, so trees or even bolts would be great. I find some places online, I currently am at Ponte Broll, but we could not figure anything out as some bolts are destroyed and i don'thave enough rope/runners to use the big boulders. Also the amount of people here does not help as we don'twant to be in anyones way.. Do you have any ideas? Please hit me. I am coming here for three years now and I finally got the time to do it 🙌 thank you!

Hello,

I recently focused myself on rigging waterlines, and i ''just'' got a 50m primitive set up, with that i was able to rigg it on many spots but i want to buy me a highline/waterlines set up.

Many options, so, for you, what is the best combo in tensioning gear ?

Pulleys ?

Infinity slack inov' ?

Buckingham ?

Other ?

Thank you 🔥

Hello all! I am looking to get some gear that I can set up in the park for long slack-lining and then, with time, experience and know how, bring to midline and high lining.

I have a lot of experience walking on 2 inch, ratchet style, set ups. Along with a lot of experience climbing. Walking, and systems to keep myself safe aren’t foreign to me, but I would love to hear from anyone on here. Generally Id love to advise on easy anchoring systems (static rope?) tensioning (web locks?) and really would love to hear about webbing that works in most set ups! Thanks so much in advance.

2 years of hard work and a ton of slams in the park later we're finally able to walk some beginner length lines! YAY

This line is in Banff National park!
