| Worth Noting News Spring 07 |
It is with a somber heart that we say fare well to a friend and
promoter of slackline and Slackline Brothers since our humble
beginings. Mr. Tobi Blank. Tobi passed away over the weekend .
He
was the biggest kid of all! Conducting business from his slackline, at
times flinging or falling on his cell phone! Giving those of us at the
other end a most interesting audio experince!
He too could be
found elbowing his way through the bivi of kids at our lines at Teva
Mountain Games, Ford Adventure Weekend, and at the Phoenix Boulder
Blast. Often requesting us to set up more lines so he could have his
turn all the time! And thus introducing slackline to these and other
outdoor events.
Thank you Tobi for your mentoring friendship and passion for slackline. We wont forget you.
Our hearts go out to all his family and close friends who will miss him most.
Peace.
*******************
ARON

rare company being the fourth to free solo a highline. After notables:

| Victory for Slackliners at Muscle Beach |
|
jesscail writes " I just received a call from SM Open Space Management. She said
that they met with the City Attorney and Risk Management on Monday, and
they determined that "because we had obtained permission to to do this
before, and there had been so few injuries, we should be allowed to
continue to set up lines."
However, there are 3 caveats
which we must follow if we want to KEEP our permission. She asked that
I get the word out on these points:
1) Don't leave your lines unattended, where some tourist may run into it, or try it without a spot and hurt themselves.
2) Remove them at the end of the day.
3)
Slacklines and ropes are the ONLY attachment we have permission for. NO
SILKS or other circus equipment may be set up without additional
permission.
Pretty mellow caveats, no? And, just in time for the first long daylight-savings Sunday of the year. Woo-hoo!
Happy walking everyone~

| Hard & Cold 67 Foot Highline AtO uray. |
auntieslackline writes "The 12th annual Ouray Ice Festival was a feast for the senses!
The boys laid it all out on the line yet again setting up a 67 foot long and, 150+/- high Highline at the Ouray Ice festival.
It was hard and cold! Larry and Dylan rigged for a day, and
then at sun down on saturday Damian and Dylan fought hard for it.
Taming this super tight( tightened 17% according to Dylan) double,
theaded with a rope beast.
"This is hard" the boys kept saying. The weather conditions made it
specially challenging. Snow falling in your face, frozen feet, stepping
off and then hearing the river below and getting even more distracted!
The beautiful blue ice cascade sculptures frozen in time provided a
magical back drop for this team's efforts. Led by Larry Harpe, the goal
was acomplished! To share the love and craft of slackline.
The Cali contingent had a good showing with Auntie, DamianC showing
strong skills and mastery and, Todd and the boys from Rockreation.
Colorado well represented with slackinjacklyn, Masonjar and Brian
Gallant who continue to up the ante and stepped off into
the frozen void too. Good effort!
And we made new friends. BIG slacker Love props to Eric and
Hanna from Durango and all the go for it! folks that came to the
festival and participated.
See you at the lines!
Peace
Auntie

| Slackline Ban Threat at Muscle Beach. By Clark |
auntieslackline writes "Posted: Tue Jan 23, 2007 6:23 pm
by Clark.
During lunch today I had a line up on the exercise equipment, as did another
guy, I think his name is Michael, he works as a rigger for the studios.
Beside the point. A sergeant with the Santa Monica Police drove up in a
truck and told us that slacklining was no longer permitted on the
exercise equipment (the pull bars, traveling rings, etc) which are city
property. He said a complaint had been filed and someone had threatened
to sue the city.
I wondered whether there were any teeth behind this ban. There is in fact a municipal ordinance which prohibits "hanging" on city equipment unless authorized by the city. A related clause says fines are not to exceed $500 or 6 months in jail.
I've been told not set up slacklines in the Santa Monica parks. I
thought we were safe down on the beach. I think it was "Stuntman" Bob
who told me that an engineer from the county had inspected a slackline
setup and said he didn't have any problem with it. The city lists
Muscle Beach as one of their beach parks.

| Slacklines at Santa Monica Beach now BANNED |
|
Anonymous writes " Years ago I met with officials about putting up slacklines without getting hassled by the police. The head of Parks & Recreation actually met us AT the beach, along with 2 safety/insurance experts, inspected the rig, (one of them even kicked off his shoes and tried it!) and determined that it was safe. They said they'd notify the police that lines were officially allowed.
Now, in the last week, slackliners have been busted TWICE for setting up. I sent off a letter to Parks & Rec, and received the reply pasted below.
We're going to see what we can do to get this changed, but if we ignore it and set up anyway, we run the risk of having ALL the equipment shut down. Maybe that's not a huge deal to those of you that exclusively slackline, but we muscle beach acrobats still remember the horror of a giant chain running through all the rings, locked off so that we couldn't swing. For our own safety of course... We'd prefer not to repeat that.
So, the larger question is, what was this accident?! Does anybody here know? It would help us prepare our "case" against SM if we had that information. Please email me at jesscail (at) yahoo (dot) com, or join our forum at ringflyers.com and post the info.
Thanks & sorry for the bad news~
Jess
_________________________________________________
Dear Ms. Cail,
Thanks for your email. A few weeks ago, there was an accident at Muscle Beach caused by an individual who attached lines to one of the apparatus. As a result, the City Attorney’s office and the City’s Risk Manager have directed staff to remove all attachments to equipment at Muscle Beach and to prohibit any attachments in the future.
While we did meet two years ago to look at the slackrope and at that time did consider it to be permissible, we have been advised that no attachment to equipment can be permitted going forward. The City must ensure, to the best of its ability, the safety of the Muscle Beach area. Alteration or attachment to individual apparatus is not how the equipment was intended to be used and has resulted in an accident.
I know this is unwelcome news but it is a necessity to ensure safe use of the equipment.
Sincerely,
Elaine Polachek

| BOULDER SLACKFEST |
Master Slacker and dear friend Dylan Buffinton and friends set up
several slacklines at the BOULDER MOUNTAIN PARK located at Baseline and
9th, in Boulder Colorado on Saturday August 26th.
Dylan loves to share the beta and his passion for Slackline, and to
slack it up with as many slackers as possible!!! So lots of
Boulder,Denver Slackers showed! And even though it rained it didn't
stop Dylan from walking a soaked 100 footer with his unmistakable style
and flair!
He was also interviewed for a new Boulder based web site, and
will be setting up a Highline in the area in the near future for the
mentioned web site, Boulder Vive. Big props to you Dylan!

| Slackin With The KTLA-5 Morning News And Gail Anderson. |
We would like to thank KTLA channel 5's Gayle Anderson for a great
slackin session at the beach today. It was history in the making.
Thanks to the great slackers Harlan, Damian and Corbin for sharing
their talent and love for slackline and for their contributions to our
sport.
A special thanks to young Nic and young Sabrina for their love and
support and for joining us at the lines and for helping to spot Gayle.
And to Bea for cheering us on along with those who tuned in at home!
Thanks to stuntman Bob for stopping by and slackin. Visit :
ringflyers.com and swingairing.com
Unc was solid at the double A-frame set up at the studio. Michaela improved with every try.
Gayle, Auntie, the kids and the boyz orchestrated a great beach
slackline session. The court was outlined by Harlan and It consisted of
a 35 footer a 60 footer and a 100 footer.
Some static action was thrown in for good measure. Courtesy of Damian and Corbin.
Up to the top of the traveling ring arches they went, then Corbin walked a section.
At the lines Corbin was stellar. He spanked the long line and caught
big air. Harlan who is fast becoming a longline master, surfed big.
Damian with his easy going style worked all the lines, launched several
backflip dismounts and after all was said and done, procided to climb
every palmtree or lamp post (which even the youngdawg could not resist)
on our way to breakfast.
namaste
