I love how much tension with using the ascender!

[@dragan3290]

I bought a slackline kit and over 18 metres setup. No matter how much I tightened the ratchet strap, in the middle I was touching the ground. Lol. Webbing stretched as well. I returned the kit and bought a 2500kg by 50mm ratchet strap for trucks. The webbing is thicker. The ratchet strap looks a little stronger. Now I see how much tension. Im gonna reduce the distance so I don't touch the ground. Im 92 kg in bodyweight. Maybe 9m maximum in length? Any ideas or reply appreciated. Cheers from Australia!👍👍👍

Hello, I wanted to ask you what device you use, in the pulley system, to brake the rope

[@juancruzborrego]

hola, les queria consultar que aparato utilizan, en el sistema de poleas, para frenar la cuerda

[@splinkangels]

trickline plays with 2:1 safety factor! this is crazy! trickline nowadays here in brazil are rigged high (1.90m+) and super long (24m+) closer to less safety factor it means we are getting the maximus that the webbing can offer. maybe one crazy day we tight super close to1:1 safe factor hahaha just kidding thanks for so much info!

[@tomtom4405]

After the video where a trickline was cut, I'd expect to see a safety from the ratchet back to the tree in case something snaps so you can't launch a ratchet-cannonball at someone. (This isn't a criticism), I don't trickline, so trying to understand the setup. Would one normally be used?

[@dragan3290]

You're supposed to wrap in webbing as you do on four wheel drive vehicles in a recovery situation. Ratchet straps hurt. Ouch!!!

[@hinterlandzaus]

What rope is being used for this? I assume it’s a dynamic of some kind? But what exactly?

[@ryan-ci3fz]

Hey Ryan! It’s Matt’s son from your work. Is it ok if I take inspiration from your name, I really like the sound of “how not to BMX” I didn’t want to change my name without permission. Thanks!

[@HowNOT2]

Hey Ryan. Are you into BMX now? Go for it! Its a good name :)

[@ryan-ci3fz]

Thanks, you are a big inspiration. Remember when you are famous (Also I have gotten into biking)

[@CaseyHandmer]

Tension is conserved along the webbing - it's got nowhere else to go. Same at each end. Can estimate tension by measuring deflection angle under load.

[@ZaoSirio]

Guys how long was this line?

[@HowNOT2]

80 feet or 24 meters

[@ab-tt4mm]

Have just seen,, VERTICAL LIFE FILM TOUR , interesting!

[@augustinmoinat761]

Why no back-up on the ratchet? You should watch HNTH, they have a video on testing back-ups

[@HowNOT2]

We tied off the tail to the dyno. Its backed up. I think we missed that video how to do it the right way though haha

[@martelthefirst]

Have you ever done a comparison between tightwire where you walk on a steel wire setup/forces and slackline? (if so where can i find the video?) awesome content!

[@hummerchine]

WAT???? So yer gonna break cross loaded climbing carabiners no problem??

I love your videos! but, "lets put it on lbs to see it in tons" ? I know it's cultural stuff ... but once you get used to it, every thing becomes so much easier. 10kN => 1ton of force (the good thing of metric system is that you don't need to do math)

[@victortitov1740]

"10kN => 1ton of force (the good thing of metric system is that you don't need to do math)" - it's funny, because it is not by design. 1 metric ton is 9.81 kN (the factor is g, the acceleration of gravity). It's a coincidence that on earth, g in metric is very close to 10. Same with bar/atm/Pa, it's a coincidence that atmospheric pressure is almost exactly 100 kPa.

[@ERICHOEHNINGER]

@@victortitov1740 sure dude, sure ...

[@HowNOT2]

when you put it that way it makes sense but i think of tons in lbs/lbf

[@xxgofkyrselfxx8557]

How does that not hurt your nuts bro
