  • Please check our my chanel with most amzing slacklinig videos and boulderin!!!!

  • CRAZY

  • FAACK !!!!!!

    

  • i used to slack line like this ........ but then i took an arrow to the knee

  • He's wearing that thing up his ass... What a pussy.

  • @UberLifeTroll you'd do it without it?

  • holy SHIT

  • NUTZ

  • What a daredevil !!!!

  • what did you do this weekend oh i walked across a tightrope 3000 feet in the air

  • whatch videos by 

    hhoullis

  • Comment removed

  • OMG your insane!!

  • Why do some people wear shoes and others not?

  • @trysoccer it depends on the person. some like it better with shoes, others (like myself) go barefoot

  • how'd you set it up on both sides?

  • @Udonnell normally there are two teams of climbers. one team per side. they then work together to set it up and have fun highlining all day.

  • This guy look like arnold schwarzenegger :D

  • OMG! this is off the wall!!!!!!!!!

  • real men don't walk attached

  • I definitely want to be this guy.

  • hahah whaat if the breeze blew him over xD

  • arnold s.

  • boooring..sfaety rope ruins it

  • try it with out the safety line, Gangsta.

  • @RespectMyHate try it even with it, tough guy.

  • @NearTheLimits I've been to afghanistan twice and did all differents kinds of crazy shit you wouldn't even believe, I think I'd try this, with the safety line of course. I was just kidding though about doing it without the line.

  • It's highlining not slacklining :P

  • i know the actull pros that do this

  • If i someday get tired of living, im tryin that for sure!

  • mega skillz, dumb copywriting.

  • haha, that's hillarious

  • I need some help, Im really interested in getting a slackline and I have thought of a good place to put it, one side will attach to a basketball net post which is very stable and the other side to a swing set although can somebody reassure me if it will beable to attach to the swing sets post because its not vertical its slanted so will I beable to attach the slackline to it? and btw I dont have any trees so thats why im using these :( Thanks a lot :)

  • The two points of rope contact must be vertical. Slacklines are under extreme tension so the points must be solid and parallel so there is no "slippage". Always use climbing grade webbing and hardware. Search around on the net, there are a ton of resources.

  • what all do i need to get started with a slack line? is it just a tow strap?!?

  • @PyroMixer find somebody who knows how to set one up, or just look it up on youtube. if you walk a line using a standard truck strap, I'm willing to bet it'd snap and come flying into your chest. So, I wouldn't ;) You can make a pretty simple setup with 60ft of tubular and 3 biners. good luck!

    -Ian

  • @ianmeister89 I'll take that bet. One hundred dollars sound good?

  • @ioscope YES. it depends on the truck strap, but a lot of them aren't rated to loads high enough to bear a slack line. Due to vector properties, the forces exerted on a slackline are ENORMOUS. I've broken carabiners rated to 18kn, had the line fuse to an anchor in a soft-point connection, and had 1/2" tubular lines snap (rated to 23kn). This stuff is WAY stronger than your average truck strap. Also, a truck strap can't hold enough webbing in it's spool to adequately tension the line...

  • dean potter did that whit out protection

  • Insanity! I hope you donot reproduce!

  • There is a risk of the line snapping, although it is small. Its happened to me on my line, fortunately I was 2 feet off the ground :) IF you wanted to be real safe then use a seperate safety line. But I think that takes some of the fun outta it...

  • @EwanNexus1994 It takes some of the fun out of it, but it is better then splattering all over the ground below if your 3000ft high.

  • swet

    but dean potter did it without being tether to the line...

    enough said

    check out the highliner video

  • No Dean Potter......but still.

  • lol i would have fallen when i stepped on it

  • @TheLonelyHappyMeal forget stepping on the line I'd fall trying to climb up there :P

  • easy it isn´t a longline

  • ha i met leo today :) had a chat with him at the OS show in birmingham :)

  • very good!

  • no risk but...would u do it ;D?

  • no i dont like heights and my balance is poor

  • @xicofco95 risk is definetely involved

  • @xicofco95 i wouldn't say no risk... webbing could fail, however unlikely...

  • Amazing

    I would not even watch this if he wasn't attached to it.

  • Look for Dean Potter. Does loads with no harness or parachute.

  • dean was going to attempt at this same place but with no harness but he changed his mind

  • well then he changed it back because dean did solo this line. there's even a video of it on youtube.

  • @dragonfitter dean did solo this line, without a safety line or chute, its on the tube

  • he did it after i posted that comment

  • @paralian... then don't watch "Highliner" with Dean Potter... (.../watch?v=90xfWYnz9KM)

  • @paralian wimp. i would. i wanted him to fall

  • @paralian

    /watch?v=90xfWYnz9KM&feature=p­layer_embedded

  • @paralian watch dean potter and be amazed.

  • @paralian search dean potter

  • @paralian i 4sure would

  • @paralian then better don't put "highliner" in yt search and watch the first video you get :)

  • @paralian watch?v=90xfWYnz9KM&feature=re­lated

  • @paralian Check out Dean Potter. He did this line without the tether.

  • O.M.G !

  • if she knew what he was doing :D

  • At a certain height, it stops being slacklining and becomes highlining(it's up high, get it?). Hardly anyone uses a rope anymore since the webbing gives you more surface area to balance and people are just as impressed.

  • ACTIVEJUNKY . COM likes this!!!

  • A Slackline does the same you do : swing

    A rope is easier to controll, my friends tryed ;)

  • So how is slacklining different from tightrope walking? Seems awfully similar to me, aside from the guy's wearing a safety line.

  • slacklines are more... slack than tight ropes...

    I know, good explanation right?

    anyways, the move more side to side and are more stretchy

  • Slacklines are also typically 1" nylon webbing, sometimes wider, sometimes narrower. Tightrope is, of course, rope. The stretch, bounce, and sway, along with the different material, make for a different feel.

  • Slacklining uses webbing which is slightly dynamic. This stretch allows it to wobble and bounce. Tightropes have virtually no play in them and are generally wider. They also require more setup time. Slacklining requires more coordination than tightrope walking. At first glance they may seem similar but they are two distinct sports with two very different origins and anatomies.

  • i thought he was going to lose it fo a second

  • Every morning I take a piss, brush my teeth, and do backflips on that. What's the big deal?

  • id run across it no problem

  • Well he does seem 2 b attached so its not such a biggie atleast

  • even tho you KNOW your strapped in, doesnt stop your human survival insticts from being like. oh wait, im going to DIE.

  • If you practice slacklineing a lot will it make you a better climber through developing your balance? At the local gym I tried it about 5 times and I kept falling off. Should I practice it?

  • no. top yourself

  • HAHA !! lol

  • you should buy a slackline, for the fun of it, yeh it probably makes u better at balancing but its a great sport :)

  • Will slacklining make you a better climber? No, not directly. Then again, slacklining improves your body control, strenghtens your torso, improves balance and concentration, which all have indirect benefits in climbing.

    Actually, I find training climbing only by climbing a bit stupid overall. Most physical activities support each other, and almost any other sport will also support your climbing.

  • I would never ever do that!Crazy man

  • D: omg

  • Isn't this the place from cliffhanger when the girl dies???

  • No, they made most of the cliffhayngoor scenes at a mountain group in Italy called "Cristallo". Wiki it if you would like to know more.

  • love it! he almost lost it but recovered. right on!!

  • i would like to try this someday... i slackline already and highlinning looks like a ton of fun...however setting it up is quite difficult and when your life hangs in the balance i'm not sure i would trust my rigging... lol

  • this guys got giant balls of steel bigger than funkatronical and itzDaTiwGGajD heads duct taped together....

  • his balls would be the size of earth without the safety..fuck it..

  • his balls are the size of the earth

  • at first i didnt see the safety harness and thought this was the most hardcore ting ever. Even though he is wearing one this is nothing short of amazing, however for a minute i was just freaking out over that

  • Search: "Dean Potter Lost Arrow". He did it without any backup. I heard somebody else did it too, but I don't know who that was.

  • thats in sain im working on slack rope but ive got a bit b 4 im there

  • how do you know? do you look at them while themangler666 is sleeping?

  • I do

  • ... no comment

  • NINJA!!!!

  • ok he got his safety stuff on,.. and dean did it without,, but still - much respect to this guy!!

    I wanna see all the people here, who wrote something like: safety user, pussy, bla bla bla,.. do the same thing without safety, and ur about to get props too

  • dean potter did the same line without safety.

  • yeah, that's almost as pussy as talking shit on youtube comments :P

  • he has a safety line or whatever you call it.

    pussy

  • come on do the same thing without a safety line and post a vid if you think you can do better. oh wait sorry you cant post the vid, cause you are prob. going to be dead.

  • whatever

  • I CAN DO IT ....I'M IMMORTAL

  • that's so sick it's well.

  • hey i know this face... the pillar or something. is it in australia??

  • sick!

  • ha ha ha cool advert

  • I'd like to see you do that

  • petite didn't use a safety, not even to practice. Yes the guy is skilled but he isn't a real high wire guy. Again, take off the safety and than he can pat himself on the back.

  • Dude, what if he falls, It is just in case protection. What if the wind blows on him, it is pretty high. Safety first lol

  • You fall you die, thats the game. This guy has the courage of a bunji jumper, thats all.

  • dude u have like mental problems in the brain, he still didn't fall anyways, the safety line is for protection, if he dies the company for the commercial can get sued.

  • There is a giant difference between doing something with a safety and doing it without. Thats why people dedicate themselves completely to a particular endeavor for years and years.

    This way when they step "into the void", as petit calls it, they are ready, and the threat is real....... Actual high-wire stuff is not a hobby, it is where people like petit find life .

    Remember, the cop that saw petit walk between the towers said he was "dancing" on the wire...... Thats what its about.

  • i am someone who loves the danger.. i catch snakes, play with the fire...... but this i will never do ... respect... 5/5 !!!

  • skier168, your dumb.. he can fall when he steps to the rocks whit his head. then it is save.

  • Wow! I would be so scared! I'm not really afraid of heights but standing on a rope that's 3000 feet above the ground would give me a heart attack!

  • omg i could not do that im afraid of heights

  • Fotomontaż.

  • he should wear his helmet in case the rope failed

  • what would a helmet doo??

  • you really think that a helmet would save his life if he fell 3000 feet down?

  • There was a record attempt for slacklining near way I live, Cheddar (UK).

    He got so close to getting the record so many times..lol.

  • u live in cheese lol

  • lolol

  • cool

  • holy mother on crack

  • Nejvic magori...

  • not even gonna lie. if it was a 5 foot wide ladder bridging those two cliffs i still wouldn't cross it. haha he may have had a safety harness but he's still got balls to do this.

  • he is strapped in

  • to be honest if i had a safty rope i would would try...but some guy did it without one!!

    i wouldnt try that if you payed me £1,000,000 lol

  • Dean potter did this exact same slack line....with out a safety tie..now THATs crazy.

  • i will try

  • no im not joking justganna! its all true u believe it ur preety stupid!!!!!!

  • Wow. Just wow. I don't even have a reply.

  • since people high line lost arrow spire all the time. dean potter is gonna BASE line it. slacklining with only a BASE rig, no swami. i think you might be the fucking dumbass.

  • You're joking, right? Please say you're joking.

  • no its for real, his name is leo houlding. world renowned climber and BASE jumper. he did this i think in NZ or aus, I might be wrong. the lines you see clipped to him are clipped to a harness and the slack line. if he falls the line he is treading on is gonna catch him. he didn't in the end.

  • its the lost arrow spire in yosemite

  • its the lost arrow spire in yosemite

  • that man got balls but with that rope i think i will make it too

    i guess

  • he has a saftey harnes but that is still fucking crazy

  • i doubt it dude. walking on a slackline is difficult if you don't practice, plus, think of how scary that would be even with the harness!

  • wanna try - try, dont speak.

  • the only thing that makes me wonder bout these ultra high slacklines thingys,, is that how the slackline got there anyway.

  • the lost arrow spire line is installed by attaching one side of the line to the wall next to the spire, then rappelling down to the base of the spire, then climb the spire, trailing the loose end of the line and attaching it to the top of the spire.

  • whats a spire?

  • A tall bit of rock

  • oooooow :0

  • awesome! but that is the lost arrow spire in yosemite which is 1200 feet not 3000. and a sweet climb at that.

  • people have free'd that line before..takes a shit load of balls and the ability to know how to catch the line if u fall.

  • yeah but he doesnt have to catch the line hes wearing a harness that doesnt take much skill all you have to do is walk a slackline and not be scared of heights

  • was that a fucking joke? it takes a shit ton of skill u fucking twat. get out of ur mums basement

  • yeah, have YOU ever even been slackling before???

  • to sefr you girl!

  • That sucked-his Mom would obviously want him to wear the FUCKING SAFETY harness that attaches him to the line that eliminates any danger at all in this video. If you want to see a man do this search Dean Potter Highline and watch someone do it without a harness.

  • Why don't you upload a video where you do the same thing without that fucking safety harness?

  • this cracked me up

  • FUCKING RIGHT!!!

    :D

    yo guys, this is an advertisment... stop screwing around. you sound like my little sister...

    but dean does it without the harness, you're right. i've got a poster of him while doing two lines at "the three gossips" (i think it's in utah). fucking awesome.

  • this sucks, it has safety

  • JESUS FUCKING CHRIST. Oh that is sick. Makes my insides turn to jelly. Balls of Steel, that's all I've got to say.

  • MAN!

  • nonono u all wrong bout the safety, i realie it wd be very very scarey but he has a rope atached from his wiest to the slackline its fairly obviouse but it still must be like super scarey
