100% agree, need to train for the line you want to walk. I tell myself until I can walk my slackrack with a high confidence of staying online, turns included, moving to a longer line is fun, but staying strong on a short line seems like the best practice for moving to longer lines. Once I get that high confidence on the rack I will work more on longer lines. What upper body excersizes should a short liner use to prepare for the riggers of pulling up on a longer line harnessed up?
Mostly a strong core and back will give you the greatest success! Even then, keep in mind that pulling up on a highline is mostly technique and timing and very little muscle is actually used :)
hey alonso! thank you for the info! Would you recommend a minimum length (and an "optimum" length)of a longline setup so it would be effective in terms of the feeling of really big lines?
Hi! As far as parklines go, it’s very difficult to simulate a big line feeling. Park lines will just train your endurance and core strength to make big lines easier but you also have to learn how big lines move on big lines themselves if that makes sense
nice video as always:) . Do you think there is a big difference between the sense of the eyes when you compare walking in the park or highlining (especially on longer highlines)? I started waterlining and this makes it obviously way harder, but I´m just curious if that´s also the case in highlining (i have no experience so far). In my opinion it would make sence to train a lot of blind slacklining as well.
Super great video, thanks 🌿🪼🌍
Anytime 😊🙌🏼

Absolutely… You have a much better point of reference when longlining vs highlining so it’s easier in that sense.
