Informational video: How to safely roll across highlines without a leash! Rolling across highlines with just a personal anchor system (PAS) doesn’t seem to be as common these days, but it can still be an important skill. Huge caveat to this video: if you can, always use a leash when accessing a highline! Do everything you can to make sure leashes are available for all people who may have to roll across (such as after rigging or to do a rescue). Key Takeaways: - Always have at least one secure (locked) point when on a highline. This means please stop unclipping your PAS to pass a connection if your only other point is a non-locking roller! - Auto-locking carabiners > screw gate carabiners - 2 PAS are better than 1! - It is best practice to have your attachment points opposite and opposing (both upright with gates facing opposite directions), and especially important if they are screw gates and not auto-lockers - Rollex’s and Hangovers are EN 12275 certified (like life-supporting carabiners) and BC Rollers are not, with a specific warning on the website that they are not certified as PPE (although they have a similar MBS, so use your own judgement) - In this video when I am showing what NOT to do, please note that I have a second PAS clipped to the anchor Thank you so much to @visualslips for collaborating on these videos! And to the local highliners who are letting me take a few hours on their permarigs to film. We’re having a ton of fun doing them, if you have any other topics you’d like to see us cover, drop them in the comments!

Of the many competitions taking place, Chattanooga River Games will be hosting both a Highline Freestyle Challenge and Speedline Challenge!

All slackers able to stand on a highline are encouraged to enter!

As we finish up the last official post about the 𝐕𝐢𝐫𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐚 𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐈𝐧𝐯𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥, it’s finally sinking in, what an incredible moment this is for the community as a whole. We didn’t just rig the most advanced urban line to date in the States; we also got to host the second official speed highline competition and the first-ever Urban Speed Highline comp in the U.S. We’re also opening the door further to so many new possibilities for urban highlining in the States. If you can imagine it, it’s probably possible. Much appreciation and gratitude to all the athletes who brought their energy, creativity, and drive to this comp. Y’all made it what it was! ❤️ Here’s to the continued growth of highlining as a sport and art form in the U.S.! 🤘🔥 Thanks to @danmathieu and @lovett_behindthelens for capturing the essence of our segment perfectly!
