Slackline Skills: Rodeoline & Highline Preparation
Part 1
Part 2
Part 3
For highline preparation it is crucial to use a Nylon Slackline as they offer softer absorption of leash falls, making them ideal for initial highline experiences.
A great low-budget choice are the 15m traveler slackline or the pinkTube primitive slackline kit.
However, if you are certain that you want to start highlining, then it could be worth to directly invest into a pinkpark set.
Rig the line in a length of 5-15m and with a sag of 1-2m at first. And in a second go use a length of 10-25m with a sag of 2-3m.
Yoga
The best choice of slackline for Yoga practice is the SADU Yoga Slackline. Set it up in a length of 5-9m. At the beginning with around 1m sag, later with 2m sag.
Jumps & Statics
For these tricks you should use the Slackline Experience in a length of 8-20m with a sag of 40-80cm. For jumps it is best to have the slackline rather tight.
Workout
For the Workout we recommend using a rodeoline in a length of 5-10m with a sag of around 2m. A great choice of slackline are the 15m traveler slackline or the SADU Yoga Slackline.
