Brenden Gebhart (April 2011)
"Exactly one year after I started slacklining (October 27th) I had a pretty horrific knee injury. I tore my ACL and MCL completely in half, as well as partial tears to my CCL and LCL. I was told I would be unable to slackline for 9-12 months..." - Brenden Gebhart
James Clulow (Mar. 2011)
"I got into slacklining through a friend that I used to climb with in Alaska when I was 17. John Borland had just come back to Alaska from a climbing trip where he met highliners Smith Rock and around Moab. There he met and Scott, Terry, Larry and others. John had his mind set on rigging a highline in AK. We worked together to bolt and rig our first highline in Alaska in Hatcher's Pass and it was a fantastic experience. I learned a lot and I fell in love with the sport straight away. " - James Clulow

"Life is like a long slackline, always moving. Only when we focus on the present moment are we able to be truly well. Always being well will let you arrive at any goal you set out on. We walk slackline the way we live our lives." - Pierre Carrillo
1″ Slack-Spec Tubular
As we have been getting a lot of orders for tubular webbing lately, we have been having troubles keeping up with all the length requirements. So what we have done is we have worked closely with our webbing manufacturers to come up with a slightly modified design for the tubular webbing which would allow it to be stronger, softer, and still maintain all the wonderful things that nylon tubular has to offer.

"Slacklining for me is like a moving meditation: whenever I am stressed I always just setup a nice long line and walk it back and forth many times. It is the cure for all stress, the path to total body awareness." - Jerry Miszewski
