New Slack Science article coming in hot!

We discuss our methodology for testing the stretch on our webbing in hopes to get some feedback as well as encourage others to adopt similar strategies so we can have more comparable data for one of the most misunderstood, but important metrics we have on our slackline webbings.

Check it out -

Stretch has always been a tricky thing to measure. There are so many factors that go into how a webbing stretches that it is very difficult to get a consistent and meaningful measurement. That, coupled with the fact that stretch testing in the lab is very disconnected with how a webbing stretches in...

Have you ever strolled up to a highline or longline rig and noticed the weblock looked kinda strange? The device was upside down, but the webbing was installed like it was right-side up?

When we say Upside-down, we mean the weblock is oriented upside down and the webbing is installed ri...
