Gibbon Slackline Contest in the "Residenza Veneziana" in Pasing.

At the beginning of July, the lines were tightened at the construction site of the Munich developer Terrafinanz. The trendy sport from the USA had now also reached Pasing. At four locations, a camera team filmed the world's best slackliners from America and Europe on behalf of Galileo. Here the slackline was not only tightened over the excavation pit of the 5th phase of construction and from the playground to the 1st upper floor, but rather even 15 m high between the construction crane and balcony.
The two teams had to give it their all at these three sets and at the end, the Europeans succeeded.

"Slackline", in other words, is the non-secured balancing on a rope - similar to that what you may have seen at a circus. This is where "slacklining" has it's origin, but the difference is that the high rope is tense, while the slackline stretches under the weight of the slackliner. Through this, there is a variety of balance options and types of balancing. Thus,
the athletes can also do tricks, like Jose Pablo Munos from Chile, who "surfs" on the slackline.

The residents and neighbors of the "Residenza Veneziana" clearly enjoyed the artistic performances. You can get an impression of this in our video.
