Slacklining is straight forward: walk on one inch tubular webbing. If you want info on tightening systems, pick up a glacier rescue or white water rescue book. The systems are all there.

If you do set up a rope and walk it, have fun. If your having fun it is not dumb. Last time I checked there were no offical rules. There are better ways, but no right way, hence no wrong way. I walk a chain on my way to work every morning and set up a webing line inbetween old pillings on a near by beach some times.

Maybe there are no official rules yet, but i think that it would be easier if you get start with webbing...

Maybe you should look into highlining. It would save us all a lot of time in the future.

ive tried walking that same cable. i work there. didnt make it very far though.
Dude, that cable is SICK! It took me 4 days of exaustive all-out effort to walk it. Check it out on NE 30th and Sandy Blvd, in Portland, Or.
Would it be dumb... to think that this cable is easy? YES
