  • Alonso Rodriguez and his team rigged California's longest highline to date at 600m long and after a few sends and a lot of stoke, the wind destroyed it. Broken webbing, BFKs cut through, and bent bolts. Hear about their story on this episode.

    Hello again, I work in the materials testing industry and when performing compressive strength testing of concrete the rate at which you load the sample has a dramatic impact on the results. If you load the sample fast you get a higher compressive strength. We use a metered rate, which is approximately 1000 lbs. per second, to get our compressive strength test results.
    Keep up the good work! 👍

    Glad no one was injured here. Looks like a metric a**ton of break test material once sorted for salvageable gear. Thanks for the awesome content of all those involved!

    I always tape off the end of my weblocks so there’s a tape backup in case the pin does decide to slip through. I like to tape everything that could come loose though, like shackles as well. Awesome video! Good reminder this sport isn’t totally safe :/

    pretty hilarious the leash is what stopped it from fully coming down

    A couple weeks ago the wind was playing with the high lines at Cosumnes. They were bouncing and humming a strange moaning tune. I wondered if the people living way up in those fancy cribs overlooking the canyon could hear it.

    The low breaking soft shackle, my guess is that the end wasn't tapered causing that failure. Correct?

    How does the salt from the Great salt lake affect the bolts on the Wasatch front?

      I wondered the same. I work with those quick release pins daily and can’t come up with a scenario they come out (without the ball bearings shearing, in which case you would see that) without someone intentionally taking it out. Maybe a game camera left in an inconspicuous place when you’re not around would be a good idea.

      Yeah, setting up massive highlines (with all the knowledge and physical exertion involved) as well as being fit and dedicated enough to walk them is pretty much the same as watching TV all day. Terrible when ppl take something seriously that isn't the corporate hamster wheel.

      @@fr0ggy211 You could be forgiven for missing that joke given the incredible subtlety. If you peel back the layers I think you'll find a hidden play on the words both containing the word slack.

    Looks like on the web lock, the ball bearing detents need new springs. It looks like you can just tilt the web lock and the pin slides out from gravity..Givin the high winds, if that web lock bumped against anything the big wheel on the end would provide enough friction to pull it out...See if you can get stronger springs for the detents.
