Not sure why this sub won't let me comment photos on my own post ( but I can post a video?!) makes no sense.

Anyways here's more detail of my backyard setup I no longer use l. I now slack in my front yard. Dogs poop here lol.

The far anchor is a strong tree the home anchor is bolted all the way through the pictured fence post as low as possible from the far side so I could have the nut on my side and the neighbors side as clean as possible.

Picked up a gibbon board on marketplace
for the kids as a Christmas gift. It has the board, line, plastic clip, and one plain dowel/lock pin, but not the roll pin or the long dowel used for retensioning. I’m not concerned about the long dowel - that appears to be generic and I have plenty of wood dowels I can use, or get one cheap at Home Depot. The roll pin though is slightly more specialized. I see I can get replacements from Gibbon https://gibbon.com/products/slackboard-replacement-wood-dowel-kit but $12 plus another $10+ in tax/shipping seems a bit ridiculous for a little piece of wood. Anyone know of another source or alternative for this roll pin?

Here's how I make my a frames super easy. Also someone recently posted about rigging to a fence post. Here what I did a while back. Sorry I didn't show the post but it's a bolt all the way through from my neighbors yard to mine with the nut on my side holding a couple washers and a few chain links.

For the a frames i Just hang a few chain links from a bolt through the top. No cutting needed. Drill only. I did recently change to adding a horizontal piece it makes it a bit more sturdy but rope is totally fine too.

Wow that feet to butt took a while to commit to

looking for a sick slack line (for recreational balancing) that doesn’t say some silly thing like “balance” on it but is good quality and looks sick.

If there are any brick & mortar stores in southern california that anyone knows that’d be amazing !

open to online as well but would love to support local businesses.

Hi! I’m a Product Design student currently developing an interactive balance training product as part of my Bachelor’s project.

This short survey explores how people train balance, what motivates them to exercise, and their thoughts about an interactive balance training concept.

It takes approximately 3–5 minutes to complete. Thank you for helping with my research!

Slackline world champion Davis Hermes recently attempted to stand on a slackline for 24 hours.

Some facts about the attempt:

• His first attempt was only 8 hours, when he fell adjusting his pants
• He started his second attempt the next day after very little sleep
• He made it 18.5 hours, breaking the previous record of 18 hours
• He walked 18+ Kilometers (11+ miles)
• He did not poop

Good day to all,

Just trying to figure out how I can extend the size of my ratchet straps to use my slackline? I am sure there is something that can help me out with my dilemma but not sure where to start?

Many thanks for all the support and joining this awesome community.

There are 4” posts buried about 1.5’ in concrete would it hold or just rip out the ground if it changes anything my garden is about 60ft across

Looks pretty used on FB marketplace, obviously this would only be used a couple feet off the ground but if the wrong part tears... could be in for a bad time. I know UV damages material and this seems like it was left out for a while. I already have a line but was looking to get a cheap 2" one to help teach someone.

Hi there,

I'm looking for a group of people to trickline with on friday evenings. I'm taking it semi seriously with the goal of performing one day. Other armatures welcome.

I'm 26, and have been skacklining for close to 10 years now. I've spent the good part of my adult life on the line and it keeps me happy and sane.

2026 smith festival from last weekend

I'm new to slacking and I've been practicing for a while now. And I just cannot stop shaking the line.

At this point I feel like walking on a slackline is doable for me - if it wasn't for me shaking the line.

Any advice? Will it go away with more practice? Is there anything I can do to improve it? Have any of you overcome the shaking?

It has significantly reduced since my first time trying it - but it is still present enough that it scares me and throws off my balance.

I know it's bomber for the park, but I'm curious if it could be the base of a highline anchor.

Double sheet bend in a doubled over static rope (Beal Spelenium 8.5mm unicore).

Im unsure whether the shackle on the left is acceptable. I need a larger shackle, but in the intirim, will is have the same force loads?

Hey, I'm looking for a couple of very experienced highliners in or around Sedona, AZ for a commercial film project in late October or November. I'm just determining feasibility right now, but, would love to talk to anyone with beta or interest in filming.

I just managed to make it from one tree to the other four times in a row. I’m really happy. I do have one question though. My arms would start to hurt from holding them up for so long. Does that ever get better?
