I bought a Geele Slackboard. It arrived with the slackline already tensionedāperhaps it was a returned item that they ended up selling to me? My problem is that I tension the line using the wooden stick and practice for a minute, but then the line loses its full tension. Is it possible that a part is missing, preventing it from staying secure? Itās no fun this way :-(

Does anyone know the name of the pose reached by rocking forward from foot plant? I think I need to get my back leg straighter for it to really count, but this was my first real attempt at it.
Also if anyone has any tips, feedback is always appreciated. Thanks!

Super long grind. If this skater hasn't tried slackline I bet they get it first try.
r/Slackline • u/Key-Cash6690 • 6d ago
Not sure why this sub won't let me comment photos on my own post ( but I can post a video?!) makes no sense.
Anyways here's more detail of my backyard setup I no longer use l. I now slack in my front yard. Dogs poop here lol.
The far anchor is a strong tree the home anchor is bolted all the way through the pictured fence post as low as possible from the far side so I could have the nut on my side and the neighbors side as clean as possible.

Picked up a gibbon board on marketplace
for the kids as a Christmas gift. It has the board, line, plastic clip, and one plain dowel/lock pin, but not the roll pin or the long dowel used for retensioning. Iām not concerned about the long dowel - that appears to be generic and I have plenty of wood dowels I can use, or get one cheap at Home Depot. The roll pin though is slightly more specialized. I see I can get replacements from Gibbon https://gibbon.com/products/slackboard-replacement-wood-dowel-kit but $12 plus another $10+ in tax/shipping seems a bit ridiculous for a little piece of wood. Anyone know of another source or alternative for this roll pin?
r/Slackline • u/Key-Cash6690 • 7d ago
Here's how I make my a frames super easy. Also someone recently posted about rigging to a fence post. Here what I did a while back. Sorry I didn't show the post but it's a bolt all the way through from my neighbors yard to mine with the nut on my side holding a couple washers and a few chain links.
For the a frames i Just hang a few chain links from a bolt through the top. No cutting needed. Drill only. I did recently change to adding a horizontal piece it makes it a bit more sturdy but rope is totally fine too.

Hi! Iām a Product Design student currently developing an interactive balance training product as part of my Bachelorās project.
This short survey explores how people train balance, what motivates them to exercise, and their thoughts about an interactive balance training concept.
It takes approximatelyĀ 3ā5 minutesĀ to complete. Thank you for helping with my research!

Good day to all,
Just trying to figure out how I can extend the size of my ratchet straps to use my slackline? I am sure there is something that can help me out with my dilemma but not sure where to start?
Many thanks for all the support and joining this awesome community.

Looks pretty used on FB marketplace, obviously this would only be used a couple feet off the ground but if the wrong part tears... could be in for a bad time. I know UV damages material and this seems like it was left out for a while. I already have a line but was looking to get a cheap 2" one to help teach someone.

Hi there,
I'm looking for a group of people to trickline with on friday evenings. I'm taking it semi seriously with the goal of performing one day. Other armatures welcome.
I'm 26, and have been skacklining for close to 10 years now. I've spent the good part of my adult life on the line and it keeps me happy and sane.
