Si vous avez un bon satellite, alors je vous conseille de regarder la chaine Canal Off qui nous offre le 20 mars, une reportage sur la slackline. Le teaser :
Des allemands ont sortis une appli android qui sert de dynamomètre. On a pas testé, donc difficile de vous la recommander. C’est de l’approximatif, et de l’estimatif, donc elle ne remplace pas un vrai dynamometre. Mais si vous voulez vous amusez pour voir, ça coute 1,20€ seulement.
On voit rarement des images de highline en californie du sud, alors ça fait plaisir de voir quelques images de highlineur locaux. On a plus l’habitude de voir Moab ou la Cali du nord avec Jerry !
Pour ceux qui aiment faire des pendulaires, nous en organisons régulièrement pour faire sauter ceux et celles qui veulent avoir des sensations. Un moment sympa avec des hauteurs abordables pour les néophytes. De quoi se faire peur sans trop se faire peur 😉 Si ça vous tente, contactez nous et on vous invitera au prochain.
Nathan Paulin is a hell of a nice guy and one of the top pro slackliner in the game ! His performance are unreal : 170m exposed highline and 600+m longline. Yes he is a slack mutant ! You can follow his performance on his website : http://nathanpaulin.com/
If you meet him, go talk to him since he is a really cool person. What’s next for Nathan ? Well, it depends how many meters of webbing he will get from his sponsor since his limits are not his own human abilities but the length of the webbing he gets to slack.

Vous connaissiez la database, et la waterline database, les topos en lignes pour les highlines et les water ?
Et bien Slackmountain reprend ces données, complète au possible, et y rajoute quelques catégories, avec un topo des spot de slackline en général et un topo des spot de longline de plus de 150 m !!! Une très bonne idée pour ceux qui cherchent de quoi tendre long…
C’est clair, c’est pratique et ça permet d’aller droit vers les lignes de son niveau.
