Cross the island game

Yishun Primary School arrived in Onsight Climbing Gym looking for primary 5 camp programs. So Elephant Slacklines filled them with fun slackline programs suitable for all ages!  We used slackline to play games and promote team bonding, trust, mental focus and physical balancing skills. These games can be played in groups from 10 – 60 people each time in relay style or in pairs.

The boys are absolutely enjoying it!

Over and under game

My favorite game is Over and Under, the game requires participants to make a series of maneuvers over and under the slacklines and return to the start point. Balancing on the slackline, they are required to answer a simple question from maths to general knowledge, different questions are cater for different ages! Over and Under puts participants under physical stress and workout the brains at the end of the game, a total body workout.

Irham showing the kids some simple tricks and they love it!

Usually at the end of each session, we also awe the crowd by showing off some simple tricks on the slackline, capturing their attention and help them understand the other uses of slacklines. 2 days and 300 students, we finished the program in good style and looking forward for more programs like this to show off the other games we have in our bag of tricks. Contact Onsight Climbing Gym @ programs@onsight.com.sg for programs now!

On your marks! Set! Go!

Too many weekends in WCP so we decided to move and slackline in the ECP ! Here’s some photos of our usual weekend setup.. 1 X blue wing 30m line, 1 X 25m freak flash and 1 X 15m freak flash (low line)

Amazing weather especially it was pouring in Jurong and Chua Chu Kang!

The trick line setup at ECP B1 carpark!

Size doesn’t matter! Fiq shows us why!

Key to longlining is mental focus and endurance..

Desky says if you are not studying at home you should be slacklining..

Slackline is also an activity here in ECP!

Next up the medical benefits of slacklining and my post recovery report while using Elephant slacklines as a rehab tool !

Elephant Slacklines are now available in Campers Corner, Climb Asia, Onsight Climbing gym and X-boundaries! You can also get it online from http://www.iclimbinc.com/

Waking up and walk the line at 530am for this shot!

After weeks of planning, meetings, training and never ending weaving through everyone’s busy schedule, we finally managed to pull everyone together to execute the media shoot for our Rock 2 Tree project.

The setting up phase (Photo by Andrew Ong)

First we figured that not a lot of people know about slacklining and among the small slackline community in Singapore, perhaps only half of those would know what highlining is all about and maybe only a handful are crazy like me and the Ang Moh (Jordan) to actually want to pull it off in our little escape park, Dairy Farm. Looking around us, we could probably find a lot of place to highline, but only a few are actually legal to pull off such an act. So crazy ang moh and I spotted a nice spot in Dairy farm during our last outing where a slackline could be tied at about 25m high and what looks like about 10m long with good anchors on both sides.

Some one please tell ang moh there's not Red Bull in there...

Anchors checked! Highline up! (Photo by Charity Goh)

The whole idea behind Rock 2 Tree protect was to pull off a multi sport project involving, trad climbing, tree climbing and slacklining. Both of us thought that this would be a pretty cool collaboration with the somewhat similar climbing community. We were so psych about the project that we took some time off one Sunday afternoon to climb the rock and the tree separation to check if its possible to rig the high line there.

It was all possible with good style too! We did not want add more bolts on The Nose and the tree had its well deserved trim after we found the dead branch still hanging on to the tree.

So off we go with shooting for the project with Charity Goh, Chuan, Azmi, Andrew and Marx. The whole idea was to put together some good highlining photos and a short trailer video to get people to know whats going on in Singapore slacklining scene. We were also very keen to put the photographers and videographers up somewhere in the air to shoot some action shots for the 2 days event.

The batman rest

End of the day, we had 7 more high liners added to our community. Jordan, Fal, Irham, Nick, Marx, Daniel and me had the chance to get on the line and have some hardcore fun, although most people who came around to support the project did not have a go at it but it was really important to have you people there with us!

At the end of the 2 days session, we’ve learn a lot of stuff and we are glad that all went well without any glitches except for the rain in the morning. Most importantly we got the slackline community in Singapore and did something together. It surely marked the start to more great projects in future.

All the hard work and we are only in the beginning!

10am at Chits Bar @ 11 Changi walk

UWC east campus invited Elephant Slacklines to their circus team weekend hangout. Not knowing what to expect, we just put up the event on Elephant Slacklines Singapore’s Facebook page and hopefully someone comes along and enjoy the morning of slacklining.

It was a pleasant surprise when Lavina and Alvin drove into the carpark almost the same time as me. When we got into the bar, the place was filled with UWC students and parents! There were slacklines, uni cycles, juggling, fire poi and many more. It was amazing as i have never seen kids so involved in such activities.

Elephant Slacklines Singapore dived into action and set up a 20m Blue wing in the middle of the little garden and everyone including the parents were firing it up on the lines! Check out the time lapse i shot below.

Many thanks to great weather, Louis and Chits Bar for allowing such events to take place! Can’t wait for more to happen! Next up Rock 2 Tree!

Following the meeting with Red Bull Singapore, Arcteryx and Camper’s Corner for our Rock 2 Tree project, we are pushing things on overdrive to get the highline project done.

Onsight Climbing Gym gave us the space from the abseil tower to one of the structures in the venue to rig our highline and practice falling, mounting and basically getting the length of the lanyard right. I was the crash dummy since i rig the ropes in the tower side and Jordan (iClimbinc.com) got the dirty job of climbing the structures and rigging the other end of the slackline.

Equipment we used,

- Elephant Slacklines Blue Wing 30m

- Semi static and backup safety ropes

- ISC rated 25kn rings

- Dynamic ropes as lanyards

- Shackles and quick links for connectors

The main aim was to rig a highline with all safety doubled up and I think we are quite successful at that at the end of the day! Enjoy the photos thats the result of our little 3 hour session in Onsight Climbing Gym.

Qx, Fal and Jordan in preparation

Jordan getting the dirty job!

Focus is the key to highlining, check out Fal working on getting on the line..

Not too high but high enough to make you a little nervous.. Rig at 12m the line is pretty short but enough to get the job done...
