  • we are talking about 2,5 full revolutions of the coil :)

  • Here a few basic rules:

    * The thicker and the ruffer the barq the better the tree for slacklining.!

    * Do NOT use Beeches! Their barq is so thin and soft there is no protective system whatsoever on the market that would help.

    *Look for hard wood trees.. if you´re not sure check Wikipedia.

    *Don´t put all trees into one pot!

    An avalanche tracker doesn´t prevent you from getting stuck in an avalanche. Neither it is a guarantee for safe rescue.

    Peace!

  • He didn't protect the tree. Bad, bad, bad.

  • That tree is a birch. The barq on that specimen is very thick and hard. With the wide line and a tree like that it´s not really that harmful. I´ve been using the tree heaps over the last 3,5 years and it shows no sign what so ever. Far more important than any tree protection: KNOW YOUR TREES!

    WTF??? y do u assume girls would need a wider slackline than guys??? I know plenty of girls (including myself) who can do just fine on a 1" slackline and have never even touched a 2" one in their lives. Just cuz it LOOKS like it would b easier doesn't mean it is or tht only girls can use it u sexist.

  • and how is the treeware!!

  • @Squishy31097 there's actually no such thing as a "trick" slackline. while some may be better designed for it than others, i do plenty of tricks on my one inch wide climbing webbing that i got for 37 cents a foot. no need to spend mad money

  • I have a towstrap in my trunk I should try this with....

  • Is this a trick slackline or is it used for beginners?

  • if you would use tree protection, it would be a useful video

  • Please help! I tightened the ratchet too many times and over threaded it, and now I can't get it apart...

  • ich wie man slackline aufbaut thank you very much

  • geiles video danke jetzt weiss

  • Amazing who though gibbon could be so easy everything else makes no sence what so ever
