Here is a blog with cool projects and tips on slackline
setups. I’ve seen posts from college
events to kids programs that spread the word of slacklining. One of the most intriguing topics they cover
to me is highlining. This is where a
slackline, typically one inch wide, is spanned over a gap or canyon, that
usually requires for the walker have a tether.
I find this so interesting because while you may technically be safe, it
looks like it would be incredibly nerve racking. I once set up my slackline about 5 feet above
the ground just to see what difference it would make, and I was blown away at
how much harder it was. In one project
where they talk about a place they named “cold creek”, they set up a line 100
feet high and spanning 182 feet across a valley.
Below I have shared a link that shows some of the fears and
thrills of highlining. It’s a pretty
inspiring as well, so when I first saw it probably over six months ago, I
really wanted to try a highline setup and see what I could do. I still haven’t had the opportunity yet, but
I’m willing to give it a shot whenever I do get the chance.
