Chopper's Maverick Slacklining Weekend Away!
18th May 2011
I know this isn't exactly climbing but I thought I'd fill you in on my
weekend away.
I've just got back from a surf contest with my cousin Mark in sunny
Saltburn by the sea on the North East Coast. There wasn't any surf on
Saturday so we went in search of somewhere to set up a slackline. At low
tide we set the line up below saltburn pier, which we were pleasantly
surprised to find was floodlit at night so we could even set up after dark.
After a few quick goes Mark was off to a great start, walking the line
and even going for jump starts!
I managed to nail a sitting start moving to a balanced standing position
which Me and Lloydy have been practicing in the wall and I even got a
couple of small arial 180's, all of this with the stunning North Sea as
backdrop!
You may have noticed us using a slackline in the wall. We will be
starting a regular slackline night soon so keep an eye on the website.
The lines we use are from Maverick Slacklines and are real easy to set
up using a ratchet system to get the tension required and are fantastic
for training core stability and balance.
