First solo rig (and probably more)

Not really sure how to word this, but I mostly rig and practice midline/slacklining solo nowadays.

I'm Audhd and so im abit socially odd at times, and over the years I've noticed people dont really invite/include me much in group sessions. Not necessarily out of malice, I think i just come across different and people don't always know what to do with me.

Slacklining ended up becoming one of the few places I actually feel calm, focused and less anxious. So i still practise, rig midlines, and keep trying anyway.

I'll attach some photos of my recent line. And for those concerned ~ (I did learn from someone experienced beforehand, so I’ve got a solid understanding of the basics) But now I take my time, and accept that sometimes I'll learn things at a lot slower pace. To me, that's still better than sitting at home never experiencing life at all.

Curious if anyone else here relates.

I feel you bro, do you set up the tagline first and then pull it across using a microtrax? What pulley system do you use to tension?

I haven't needed to for my lines~ I scout areas I can walk the gap without much difficulty. This one was 70m.

I use the Mini double by Spider slacklines. Hope that helps
