Almost any kind of workout will increase your fitness. Doing exercises on an unstable ground offers the advantage that it stabilizes your joints while putting less stress on them. So, slackline workout is great to prevent injuries but also to build up your stability after an injury.
Highline Freestyle is a slackline discipline in which it is the goal to do all kinds of dynamic tricks and combos on a highline. Walking and crossing the line are irrelevant, contrary to traditional slacklining. Some of the new school athletes don’t even walk in, but simply slide to the middle with their HangOver, to […]
In 2018 we had a dream: We wanted to rig and walk the longest highline in the world. We had a 3km-project in mind (Y2K? – “Why 2K if you can do 3K?”). But for that we needed to develop the best slackline webbing possible. And not simply a webbing but a whole new system […]
The Zakynthos highline project allowed a 580 meter blindfolded crossing, over one of the 10 most beautiful beaches in the world.

The forces in slacklining that occur during the practise are composed of the preload force and the weight of the slackliner. This can be both static and dynamic. It is not possible to determine the forces without measuring device exactly – but one can calculate the forces in static slacklining with a formula approximately. Here […]
Because slacklining is still a young sport and there are still few materials and standards that are geared to the slackline application, material from other applications (from sports and industrial climbing to industrial applications) is used. In this article, the suitability for slacklining, of the Pear Shape and oval carabiner is put to the test. […]
Many people who see a highliner on a highline for the first time, think that the forces in highlining are very high, especially when falling (leash fall). Since the slack (“sag”) in highlining is not as limiting as in longlining over ground, most highlines are much less biased and this leads to lower forces than […]
