  • This video shows how to set up a standard 2" ratchet tightened slackline, with tree protection. The ideal distance for learning is around 25 feet. (The shorter and tighter the line is, technically the easier it will be.) Hope you guys enjoyed!
    Music:
    Believer by Silent Partner
    Isaiah 40: Verse 28-31 "Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding. He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint."

    Very helpful. We messed it up the first time trying to follow the written directions. Your video made it way more clear.

    Glad you guys are finding this video helpful! I had annotations/captions on the video that explained it more thoroughly, but sadly, youtube decided to remove all annotations from their platform which deleted all of that information from many of my videos. My apologies. Hopefully, it is still clear enough as it is.

      LOL, I thought it was wordless on purpose, so that anyone could understand it, without a language barrier getting in the way. It’s so well done as is; you don’t need words.

      Hey Marcos! Haha, nice! This video has gotten bigger than I anticipated. Hopefully it helped you! We should slackline sometime. I juggle clubs on a slackline occasionally.

    Should the slackline tail continue through the crank when you crank the line or should you hold it and crank the line with it doubling back? .. Or does it make a difference? Thanks for the help

    I didn't get the taco fold right the first time--thank you. What if the ground isn't level between the trees? How far off can they be for a beginner?

    • @joshuadwaters1299
      @joshuadwaters1299  7 років тому +1

      My pleasure, glad you got it :). Do you mean if the ground is a bit sloped? Just try to level the line as best as you can, you don't want to be walking uphill, or downhill on the line, it makes it pretty difficult. You can put it up higher on one tree to level it. As long as it is close to level, doesn't touch the ground when you walk on it, and doesn't present a danger if you fall off, then you are all set!

    Hi, my barefoot 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?

      vagelis k Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe I'm setting it up exactly how the manufacturer recommends.
