😅

we often receive the question how much easier it is to tension a line with our BInc 5:1 compared to the hangover system - because these are basically the options highliners are facing for tensioning their lines. This video demonstrates the difference for those who wonder if the investment in a raed pulley system is worth the money. We believe it is 🤩

​@@raedslacklines that answer doesnt even relate to my comment, you are just escaping from it.. i really like some of your webbings, but the way you act in different circumstances just makes me back away from raed slacklines, keep the balance!

@@yetiDHrider I'm sorry you feel that there's some "escaping" from answering your question - that's not how it is intended, quite the contrary. Maybe our perspective on this topic is easier to understand if I explain it a bit different: For many of our customers it doesn't matter if it's 3:1 or 5:1 or 1000000:1 - many highliners don't care about the technical details behind it, they just want to setup their highline as quick and easy as possible and have tons of fun on it. They basically face 2 options: either tensioning via the hangover method or tensioning via pulleys. With option 1 they will max out pretty soon while they have way more power available with option 2. This video demonstrates this on point. I hope this info helps. Keep the balance :)

That's a very good question. We'll make an in depth video about all the differences to answer this :)

@@kylejackman1007 thank you for this feedback. We won’t stop pushing and such comments motivate us to give our very best :)

Hey Nathan, That‘s exactly the reason why we don‘t publish more details: because it might lead people to misuse this piece of gear. HALO is neither designed nor engineered for the use as a master point. It may never be used as such. I hope this info helps a bit. Keep the balance, Stephan from raed slacklines

that'actually not a scan, it's an alignment help from another red laser source telling the person using the laser if the items are aligned correctly. Which is still pretty cool in my opinion :)

Hey Enrico, please get in touch with the locals from @slacktopia - on our channels we follow a #nogeotagging policy to protect the local communities and their spots from uncontrolled impacts which social media mentions might bring. I ask for your understanding. Keep the balance :)

About the sewn dyneema backups: That's exactly the reason why you find X-Wing preconfigured in our shop with intermittent connections - you have to actively opt out of this configuration to not have it center sewn. About humidity vs. stretch: Absolutely true: humidity and rain have a massive influence on the stretch property of nylon webbings. A perfectly tensioned x-wing rig will suddenly feel super saggy once it starts to drizzle. So you have to retension when it's whet and you have to detension once it gets dry again, because the tension returns when the webbing dries! Keep the balance :)

We tried many different options. In our opinion this is the best way to get maximum performance with little to no downsides.

Hey Friedi, thanks for your thoughts about this topic :) Please have a close look at our weblock tieback video, where we explain how to safely use raed weblocks in backups to completely avoid the "dangling issue": ua-cam.com/video/diKYUfVJ_-s/v-deo.html Please also be assured that the "save some money incentive" to use knots is real, as we learned from direkt talks to many of our customers. That's why we think this discussion is necessary: yes, there's a minority of pros who do it for the reason of simplicity and most of them know very well what they're doing - but we learned that most customers asking for this don't do it for the reasons you mentioned - they try to do it for saving some cash and are often not as highly educated about highline safety as you for example are. I hope this helps a bit in understanding. Keep the balance :)

Hey Ryan, interesting point! From our real world tests we know that this dissipaition takes place in a fraction of a fraction of a second when having a backup fall. And at such speed a lot more heat is generated than in slow pulls, which might lead to additional damage and therefore further weakening of the webbing.

We didn't test this knot for many reasons. There have been major accidents involving this knot. The person who "invented" it wishes he never published it by now. This is honestly not an option at all. We highly recommend to not use this in your rigs. Stay safe and keep the balance :)

If you watched the whole video, you might have noticed that even a 36 kN webbing can break at 12 kN. So the made assumption of 18 kN webbing strength is incorrect, even for strong slackline webbings. Please be aware that loads of 10+ kN can easily (!!) be achieved in backup falls. Please also be aware that a rescue scenario might be necessary in a backup load case. For a rescue scenario 2 persons would be on the line and you'd need a safety factor high enough for the load that comes along with this. I hope this helps a bit in understanding, why knots in highline webbings are a seriously dangerous thing. Keep the balance :)

Thanks@@raedslacklines! Do you have any scientific evidence of the >10 kN load on backup falls that you could share with me? I am just curious

​@@tamacrew A friend of us measured 8ish kN in a leashfall on a 200ish polyester line some weeks ago. Please also check the ISA knowledge base for further resources, if I remember correctly there's a link to a study some of the ISA guys did in cooperation with Landcruising many years ago.

it means "heart breaker" aka very short before the end. So if he could have gone a little further, it could have been a send too.

@@raedslacklines send means not falling once. Cross means making it to the other side but falling once or more . Full man means to go all the way over and back sending it both ways lol I'd never do this shit but I just watched pushing the line series and had to get savy with highline lingo. By the way sick dudes!! So is this the legit USA record ? Cause in the show they were attempting one in Colorado but the weather made it a bust...

@@adammonahan687 You're correct about the lingo. And yes, this is the official US record right now.

Hey Nik, if you look closely at the mode of failure, you might notice that the webbing slips of its own knot bulk and cuts into the loaded strand. This might happen as well in a fig8, we don‘t see any reason why it shouldn‘t happen there too.

because it needs less gear - but the option with another linelock is also possible of course

@@raedslacklines I mean isn't it bad for the webbing?

@@turkeyphant a clove hitch at hand tension? no.

Hey Felix, this line consisted of 60m and 100m pieces of Dyneemite webbing as main + 64 and 108m backup pieces of Dyneemite and Helium. You can find info on how to get such big setups across the gap in Alonsos channel: ua-cam.com/channels/WoJN6bNJzJa-RSY6pkYHiQ.htmlvideos There's also lots of other practical tips available in his videos. Since every spot and every rig is highly different there's no basic recipe, but if you have specific questions, please comment below, we will try to answer :)

Yes, this also highly depends on the webbing. In this case it is meant for Dyneemite with its nearly non existent stretch.

@@raedslacklinesThat would mean you never should use an ultra low stretch webbing or dyneema rope for backups, at least for shorter highlines, right?

@@Felix-gm3zc That‘s correct.

Hey Anatoli, We're aware of that tragic, fatal accident in Moscow. We started our knot research a bit before it but this event definitely made us question knot strength in webbings a lot more and intensify our research to be able to give appropriate advice to protect slackliners around the world from other knot incidents. We hope this video does its part. Keep the balance.

This depends on the tension. If you use it to tension a very high tension line: Definitely remove it via Softpointing (we recommend the use of a LineGrip). For regular longlines the pulley system can be left inside the line or removed via Softpointing - according to your preferences. Removing it from the line makes the line more lightweight, therefore easier to walk, while keeping it in the line allows you to regulate tension to the weight of each slackliner, which is pretty useful when heavy guys share a line with lightweight girls for example. Hope this info helps a bit. Keep the balance :)

Wait until late summer ;)
