Safe slackline backups – experiments and recommendations

2022-07-06T11:58:18+02:00

What is a safe slackline backup? Use either static or dynamic rope, connected with knots to back up metal parts. Do not use ropes with diameter smaller than 9 mm. Webbing can only be used for lines shorter than 50m and well below 5kN base tension. BEWARE: forces can go above >20kN! In light of the recent fatal accident in Russia, many in the slackline community have questioned the reliability of their tiebacks and backups - especially for longer lines with high tensions. In order to shed some light on the situation, the ISA has performed 58 tests [...]

What is Slackline Sports?

2019-10-18T04:46:38+02:00

Slacklining is a young and emerging sport with many disciplines and athletes who compete in these. Many definitions of “Sport” actually include competitions as one of the core elements and slacklining is no exception. However, while one might be able to define slacklining as a sport, it is not recognised as an official sport in any country. This means there is little public and private funding available for events, gear and development.

WORLD SLACKLINE MASTERS 2019 At the World Slackline Masters 2019 the slacklining elite came together in Stuttgart, Germany, to crown their World Champion in Tricklining. Starting the first of June, some of the best Slackliners from all around the globe competed against each other in three different disciplines. They performed stunning acrobatic perfomances in the remarkable dynamic discipline „Trickline“ where the slackline itself works as a kind of trampoline. Further disciplines were „Speedlining“ where the slackliner wins who crosses the 15m slackline most rapidly and „Jiblining“ where athletes dance on the slackline and perform tricks to music and are rated according to creativity, rhytm and degree of difficulty. The contest has [...]

ISA y la Copa Mundial de Slackline en Viña del Mar See below for English Cuando la ISA recibió una invitación para asistir a la copa mundial en Viña del Mar, Chile, estábamos intrigados. No conocíamos a las personas responsables de la organización y cuál era su motivación para organizar una copa mundial. El concepto escrito que nos enviaron fue bien pensado y describió una competición multidisciplinaria que fue más allá de tricklining, por primera vez en una copa mundial, que encaja muy bien con uno de los principios de la ISA - la difusión de la diversidad de la slackline. [...]
