New jumpline webbing by Slack.fr : AntiPop

AntiPopJumpline2_480_large
It was released just a few weeks ago and we did not had a chance to talk about it. The new polyester webbing for jumpline made by Slack.fr. It’s 4cm wide and fatter than the previous Jumpproseries webbing. It’s more heavy and has more stretch : 8% at 10Kn. Breaking strength is 45Kn, so there is nothing to worry about, for jumpers who likes to get tension in the line to go high.
Florent Founau, the proslack.fr athlete said that it’s really soft and comfortable. The edges are not sharps and the design are sweet. It’s not easy to rig, to get the right pieces of gear : pulleys

The Nathan Paulin interview !

Nathan Paulin is a hell of a nice guy and one of the top pro slackliner in the game ! His performance are unreal : 170m exposed highline and 600+m longline. Yes he is a slack mutant ! You can follow his performance on his website : http://nathanpaulin.com/

If you meet him, go talk to him since he is a really cool person. What’s next for Nathan ? Well, it depends how many meters of webbing he will get from his sponsor since his limits are not his own human abilities but the length of the webbing he gets to slack.

New webbing Slack.fr : the MILF

20150217_141717_HDR~2

 Slack.fr is about to release a new webbing called the MILF (Made in La France).

It’s a polyester green and blue rather heavy as it’s similar to the Core made by Landcruising.

Nathan Paulin brought it to the festival in Turkey and Guillaume who had a chance to test it, gave us his first impressions.

The webbing is soft on the feet and smooth to walk. It’s not sharp and has low stretch.

Walking on the webbing is smooth and confortable if you stay relax.

This webbing is highly recommendable if you are looking for a challenging line that stays safe and confortable. It’s perfect for longline and a true challenge for highline.
