Slacklining

vibrams are awesome. I really want a pair

Soles aren’t too thick, but provide enough protection so that you can comfortably walk on just about any surface.

I think the soles are 2 or 3mm thick. I jumped off the end of the line (about 6 feet up) and landed on a bunch of broken glass w/ no ill effects. Pretty cool.

Ian Kley video:

Boy, you’ve just totally given up on cars period, huh?

Basically

That is a great song. :slight_smile:
It was also just confirmed that heaters are still in fact cool.

That one girl in the video, Emily Sukennik “purple shirt”, you can see her name in the beginning. She is my mom’s friend’s friend’s daughter lol. I remember a few weeks ago she was over our house showing pics of her two daughters slacklining and new she looked familiar.

Holy fuck that video is sweet.

Alright, where the hell do you get these lines? How much do they go for? And who wants to attempt to kick their own ass with me? lol

sorry buddy, but you asked for it

why do the slackliners at RIT have to be so WEIRD!!! they did let me try it though, its hard as shit.

Because they are your typical RITers lol, I miss seeing the guy with the fur lined cape, and wafflestomper lol

Well I’m looking to beat myself up here, anyone got a slackline to be able to try this out before I purchase and waste money away?

Funny this got bumped, I was just looking through the rappelling thread and thinking about bumping it.

I have a bunch of 3 & 4" ratchet straps from my father who drove truck for a living. they look just like that… Go to harbor freight or a truck supply shop and look up heavy ones and go find some trees.

Its probably a good way to learn, but I’m guessing they are made a different way to give the slack effect. Trucking straps are ment to keep things strapped down to the Flatbed and not allow for movement.

I made some weblocks and a linegrip from stainless instead of buying them. The top items are the purchased versions, bottom are mine…
