and to answer your origional question... yes it would, because a climbing rope is dynamic and it will stretch

Yes. It would be dumb.
Rope is dynamic - thus the degree of force to get the tightness required would be astronomical and annoying to adjust.
Rope is expensive. You're walking all over it. It is also your life line when climbing.
Rope is round - harder to balance on.
Slackliners use 1" tubular webbing. The kind you take with you on routes for anchors and rappelling.
Thanks for playing.

I don't think you should be doing anything. At all. Period.

maybe this isnt the best way to learn to slackline, if you (obviously) haven't done it before. maybe buy a book, or get a lesson??
just a thought....

That's a problem though. As of now, the only material I know of on how to slackline is on the net. Scott Balcom hasn't published his book yet (I think), so the only way I've seen to spread the sport is firsthand knowledge or online sites and forums such as this one. Probably not the BEST way, but it works. :?

We simply must find a way to distribute video. I have to see the results of this ...
Maybe Bit Torrent is the answer. Something Must Be Done... I would pay to see this carnage.

slacklines are a pretty easy concept to figure out i dont think the answer is to go walk cables at a cardealer especially because you are going to fall over and over again when starting out!
