skybytch 273 #1 September 6, 2006 A group of rockclimbers did AFF recently at Davis. They put up a slackline to play on. Several regular jumpers have become addicted to it. It's great for weather holds and entertainment between loads. Today, standing on one foot. Tomorrow, backflips! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LyraM45 0 #3 September 6, 2006 hahaha....here's some good ones. My boyfriend got me hooked on this. Now I have some way to occupy myself between loads or on windy days. ....oh, and it is a good way to get hurt-- I don't have nuts, but I've been slapped between the legs so hard that I was bruised. You get beat up learning, but once you get a stand up start going you're all good. Apologies for the spelling (and grammar).... I got a B.S, not a B.A. :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The111 1 #5 September 6, 2006 Hey Lisa, that's my line in the pics Ashley posted, at Sebastian (where I met you!). Glad you found slacking, it's fun. It's a staple of every rock climber's diet, but it's funny those guys brought it to you since a lot of DZ's have them already. Guess there's another similarity between our sports. Maybe there is a third forum HH need to partner with, slackline forums? www.WingsuitPhotos.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RkyMtnHigh 0 #6 September 6, 2006 Yep...Matt is pretty good at that balancing thing on the slackline...I tried and fell off immediately... Looks like you did well also...damn you gymnasts...or should I say "youngins" _________________________________________ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stayhigh 2 #8 September 6, 2006 I think it is a good way to improve balance skill, i'm wondering if anyone tried head down on it. Now that I like to see.Bernie Sanders for President 2016 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

homer 0 #10 September 6, 2006 Quote I know ZHills has one of those too near the "Nylon City" area. Where is the "Nylon City"? I was at Z-Hills not to long ago and don't remember seeing or hearing about it (slackline). I would have given it a go if I had known about it. I guess it was best not knowing. I can't begin to think of the out come when you mix a bunch of drunk CRW dogs and a slackline. CSA #699 Muff #3804 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RkyMtnHigh 0 #11 September 6, 2006 Nylon City=paid packing tent The slackline is between Nylon City and the gear shop...really close to where you guys were doing your circleups and practicing your bigways. _________________________________________ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
homer 0 #12 September 6, 2006 Thanks, I stayed away from that area. I don't trust anyone to pack my own canopy. I take it back "Packing Cathy" is the only one I have ever trusted to do it. CSA #699 Muff #3804 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And from what I can tell, one of the moderators on that forum is one of the guys who put up our line. He's simply amazing on it... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skycat 0 #21 September 6, 2006 Slacklining is a lot of fun and a great way to work on you PLF. What is crazy is when you do it over large crevices 20-40 feet off the ground. Let's just say you had better make sure you set up your harness and catch line right.Fly it like you stole it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
