How Can a High Liner Overcome the Fear? – Mia Noblet
Highlining is slacklining at elevation above the ground or water, it might be the pinnacle of slacklining and the most breathtaking sport to face fear directly. In order to slackline between two mountains, Mia Noblet has gone through a lot of practice for 2 years to overcome her fear. And finally, she broke the Female
Highline World Record. Indeed, Fear is the instinctive feeling of human beings, and the process of overcoming is long and painful. But chances are that we obtain more than we have expected as long as we face the fear directly.

How Not to Rope Jump – Extreme Rope Jumping off Highlines!
Want to see how Ryan rigged a rope swing off a highline? He also had a nifty way of hauling people back up without them being attached to the haul line. This is high risk and only super experienced riggers should do this only AFTER they have jumped with someone who knows what they are doing. I’m hoping that showing you how to rig a rope swing will overwhelm you with how much detail goes into a safe rig and that someone doesn’t see a jump video and think they can clip 2 dynamic ropes to a highline and start jumping off cliffs. Please be careful and don’t try everything you see on Youtube!
Thank you Scott Hong for the thumbnail image!
