Sorry SlacklifeBC for losing your coolest hat!

What are your options for highline backups and how tight should you make them??? Check out our midline drop test to see if low & loose highlines are dangerous!!!
Thank you Marco Fontana for your snow angel example.

What kind of tape should you use on a highline and how do you do it? Check it out!

Here is a case study of us rigging our last highline. It doesn’t dive into a lot detail but gives a big picture of how we rig and derig. Please let us know in comments how you want future rigging examples to look.
This line was at Consumnes River Gorge (CRG) in Placerville, CA. This was the 700 foot line 200(ish) meters that Jerry Miszewski broke the world record on (when it was a world record). It was rigged the new feather pro from balance community for the main and backup. We had less than 1000lbf or 4kn on the line (not measured but guessed) on the main line and the backup was taped every 15 feet with an average of a foot of sag between each tape (so less than 0 tension). Sewn loops on static side and Weblock 4.0s on the tension side.
Thank you team: Kim Weglin, Garrison Rowland, Nick Honnold, Tim Hawkins.

How do you get the line over there??? It’s the #1 question onlookers ask us!!! We use Yosemite highlines as examples!!!

This is probably the missing puzzle piece for so many folks. Many people know how to rig a slackline and know to tape a backup webbing underneath, but this episode can really help fill in the “void” in highlining…. get it???
