Good Bye St. Hanappi

For a long time it was just an idea but thankfully i get the chance to realize this beautiful highline in the Hanappi Stadium in Vienna. This is the home stadium from the "SK Rapid Wien". The first plans we made were too dangerous for the authorities so we set up the line in the empty stadium just for us and the guys who are working in the stadium.
The rigging was a bit tricky but nothing new because the roof of the stadium from the UPC Arena in Graz/ Styria (http://peterauer.blogspot.co.at/2014/06/taking-shower-while-highlining.html) was nearly equal.

Walking was a big fun because we set up Sonic 2.0 again with a 9mm backup rope so we get big bounces and a smouth feeling while walking :)

Big thanks to Roman Lorenz from SK Rapid Wien and also to Luise Walchshofer from the NEWS Magazin for making this possible.

308m or 1010 feet Longline on PES

After many different and difficult highlines in the last weeks we (Helmut Netzwerker and me) put up a 308m Longline with Core 1.0 form Landcruising Slacklines. It took us more than 4 hours to rig this line but it was worth it.
The first try ended in the middle on the ground so we added a little bit of tension an then on the first try when the line was walkable i walked my longest line up to now. Helmut cruised the other direction so we did a propper full man together :)
