What's REALLY cool was that this was her first time trying a slackline! So the lesson was genuine, which is awesome! And if you want the full slackline program, click here: antranik.org/slackline/
Excellent video for the basics AFTER you've got your line up. Can you do a video about the basics of the line itself... What types of lines there are (I'm seeing some that are rounded cord and flat) how to erect the line, secure it, etc. That would be greatly appreciated as a companion piece because that type of info doesn't seem readily apparent in many basics videos
There's 2 kinds of lines in general. The 1-inch-wide lines and 2-inch-wide lines. The 2-inch ones are what you're perceiving as flat. The 1-inch lines are setup with just a carabiner and ring and called a "primitive setup." It's light-weight and easy to travel with because it takes up less space. The 2-inch lines are setup with a ratcher and heavier. 2-inch lines are also used for trick-lining cause they are very low-stretch and can be tightened a lot and bounce more. They both have similar learning curves at the start. It's mostly preference what you start with. 1" lines feel more relaxed and 2" lines are a little more jittery but lend itself for more bounce. If opting for a 1" line, make sure it's "low stretch" as that's easier for beginners to walk and also easier to tighten by hand. The YogaSlackers line is good for that. (The 2" lines are all similar in stretch and feel.) I have a blog post on how to setup the 1" lines here: antranik.org/how-to-setup-a-slackline/
Hi, my slackfline is only tightening on one side so that it's super tight on one side and lose on the other so the line flops to one side. Do you know why this might be/what I can do about it?
Awesome video, thank you so much for this. The kid climbing in the back was cracking me up
Glad you enjoyed it!!!
nice depth of field at the start, damn antranik. separates the scene so well.
Thanks legato! For anyone that doesn't know, this is shot at the Original Muscle Beach, in Santa Monica!

I'm not sure what you mean. It's all one line, so it should be the same tension throughout.
You mean the line isn’t straight? Look up how to set up a slack-line
What kind of slackline are you using? 2 inch or 1 inch?
A 1-inch Yogaslacker's e-Line. Looks like he's also using many Yogaslacker's teaching methods.
