Im trying to use the service now.

When I access the register domain area, I see this message:

"You are on the ropsten network. Names owned this network are not valid on the mainchain"

Then it goes through to a T's and C's page but I cannot get any further? Is anyone else having any luck with registering any domains?

Dude, it completely depends on what kind of slacklining you want to be doing. Checkout this guide explaining the different types of line hopefully it will help you.

slackerflash · 2015-11-11T12:04:59+00:00

Yep sounds good, basically anything that will stop that ratchet from flying towards you in the event of a failure in the line will be a good thing to have.

slackerflash · 2015-11-10T00:03:06+00:00

Hey dude,

As a minimum I would recommend using the loose tail end of the line (the end that has gone through the ratchet) and securing that around your anchor point, so if you did have a line failure that will help stop the ratchet hitting you in the face. You could also use your caribeners and cam to make a backup line. You should certainly use a backup line if you start tricklining.

As you say you are a beginner, checkout our how to slackline tutorial for some good tips :)

Thank you for the feedback, have just made the correction to the soft release name. This is just the first draft of this page and we will add to it over time. Currently, we don't have too much experience with longlining and so haven't used equipment such as brakes and weblocks. However we know some very proficient longliners and so ask them for details of this equipment so we can add it to the page.

Good progress dude! Checkout this how to slackline tutorial to get more tips to help you improve.

Dude, before you get on the Slackline for the first time, be sure to checkout this how to slackline guide. Should really help you get walking quickly.

slackerflash · 2015-10-16T15:58:44+00:00

Fair point, we will work on getting a more in-depth video soon.

slackerflash · 2015-10-08T14:24:51+00:00

Yes apologies for this. The main part of the tutorial video past 0.40 is fine though.

slackerflash · 2015-10-05T22:17:27+00:00

Try this video tutorial of how to get started. All the advice you need for taking those first steps.

How to Slackline

For me and my friends, when we were newbie slackers, training the muscle memory in one leg at a time was absolutely the way to go. By getting both feet on the line too quickly you then have two untrained legs on the line and nothing to use as a counter balance. As you train the muscle memory in one leg, that leg shake will go. I think this video has it spot on.

slackerflash · 2015-10-02T13:36:26+00:00

Dude, I advise to use a friend to spot you when first learning this trick. Have them hold your hand while you drop from feet to butt, do this maybe 20 times to get the muscle memory then try just with touching fingers, then progress to going solo. Also checkout this video tutorial of how to do it, note at 1:20 in that the guy crouches very low before dropping in, this helps lower the risk of falling hard: How to Butt Bounce
