 | Parallel Redundancy. Can we get 2x the strength with 2 webbings | Slack Snap
21. 11. 2018 15:30:01
When we rig a spacenet or highlines that many people will be on at 1 time, we need to make our system stronger. Can we do that by making 2 webbings work in unison by doing parallel redundancy. Does tensioning 2 webbings together give us 2x the strength?... |
 | How much force do 10 slackliners put on slackline
28. 11. 2018 15:30:01
Normal highline situations generally have a healthy safety ratio but when we start doing projects where there are a bunch of people on one system, it can get risky if not properly rigged. The Ticket to the Moon project with hammocks in Bismantova Italy inspired this video and you can watch that at ... |
 | How much weight can Mavic Air & DJI Spark haul to tag highline
5. 12. 2018 15:30:00
What are the limits of a drone. The small Mavic Air and DJI Spark drones can carry a surprising amount of fishing line or paracord but it is also interesting to see what the limits are so we know how far we can push it when we try to tag highlines. Caution: this is NOT what drones are designed for ... |
 | new bolt pattern to make sliding x highline anchors equalize | Equalization is NOT myth
12. 12. 2018 15:30:01
About a year ago, we should 'automatic' equalization was a myth when using a sliding x for an anchor and that BFK anchors were random at best. The bolts most in line see the most force and the closest bolts see the most force, so we cancel them out in this video by putting the center most bolts muc... |

19. 12. 2018 15:30:00
I know highlining looks dangerous but it is relatively safe. However it is NOT an all or nothing sport and people can get hurt. Over 20 slackliners share their injuries they got while slacklining or highlining. These interviews were taken at http://www.ggbygathering.org/. ... |

2. 01. 2019 15:44:13
Check out how we rigged the spacenet at GGBY 2018. We had 4kn on the line most of the time and the spider silk breaks at 42kn in all my slacksnap tests and we had 4 layers of it. It wasn't perfect but it was super safe enough! Getting 2 lines to hold the tension didn't work out but with the slack... |

 | Equilateral triangles might be the best - What is the perfect bolt pattern for highlining
23. 01. 2019 16:02:14
Straight bolt patterns for highline anchors equalize quite poorly and BFKs are random at best. If it really matters what is the best pattern to get perfect equalization. 4 bolt patterns did well with giant parabolas and 3 bolt patterns did well with an equilateral triangle. Check out the numbers ... |
 | Introducing the Slack Inov Split - What is the best way to connect multiple highlines together
30. 01. 2019 15:30:00
One continuous piece on long highlines is dangerous because if the main were to fail, you would fall a long, long way down before the backup caught you. It's also impractical to buy a km long piece of webbing because you will never want to carry it for any projects that are shorter and traveling wi... |
