Slackline in brazil : a world of his own – beach, bikini, gibbon…

Brazil is one of the most active country for slackline. Slackline mag, hundreds of video on youtube, dedicated slack pole on the beach, girl in bikini… a world of slack on his own. Maybe a good destination if you like to slack in a chill place in the sun.

The latest video on youtube for a slackline shop called Revista Universo.

Gear choice : carabiner – how to use them ?

We always recommend shackles and quicklinks in slackline. When the forces are heavy, we usually don’t use carabiners. However, we are not sure why we don’t use them. Well, it’s because we don’t really know which carabiner is the most appropriate and how to place them correctly. Slacktivity did some tests on carabiners to explain us how to use them wisely.

Back in 2007

What about a jump in the past ? At a time where the only lockers available were linelocks and line grips were machard !

The longline world record in 2007 was 123m !! 123m “only ? “.  Well done to the team and the effort. It was hard to get this record done at that time since the equipment was not the most adapted for such effort .

Jerry Miszewski the myth, the legend and the geek

jerry

It’s been well established that Jerry Miszewski wrote the book on how to beat longline record that will slap you in the face like an ice bucket challenge the first time you see or read it. He influenced an entire generation of slackers, giving them the inspiration to push the slack game to the next level. He also created slack science helping the slack products to be adapted to our sport.

But Jerry is a simple man and he knows where he is coming from. He was enjoying video games but he discovered the pleasure of real life. He represents the spirit of our balance community.
