8. USING YOUR NINJALINE™ WITH OBSTACLES
The NINJALINE™ course is a condi
ti
oning course: You will
only improve over
ti
me. Do not expect to be able to
complete it the
fi
rst couple of
ti
mes you try the course.
•
Provide a stable, step ladder or short pla
tf
orm, for the users
to easily reach the
fi
rst obstacle and start their way
down the course.
•
For the
fi
rst couple of
tim
es, you may want to set the course
line height at a level where the users can be on their “
tipp
y toes” taking some of their weight o
ff
their grips
on the obstacles. This way they can get used to comple
tin
g the course providing a sense of accomplishment,
and give their muscles
ti
me to condi
ti
on and develop for greater challenges.
•
Then gradually raise the line (and obstacle) height over
time
, un
til
the users are actually suspended above the
ground.
•
Once the users have mastered a certain order of obstacles, change them up! Try spacing them further apart
too. Remember, you can add up to 12 obstacles on the course.
•
Be pa
ti
ent and enjoy your NINJALINE™ course.
9. USING YOUR NINJALINE™ AS A SLACKLINE COURSE
Your NINJALINE™ can also be used as a basic slackline course, which is great for balance and core
condi
ti
oning.
NOTE:
Due to the double web construc
ti
on, the NINJALINE™ in only intended for basic slackline walking
and balancing. If you want to have a more challenging slackline, see b4 Adventure for the complete line of
slacklines visit:
www.b4Adventure.com
•
Remove all obstacles and Delta clips from your NINJALINE™. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SLACKLINE WITH
ANYTHING ATTACHED TO YOUR NINJALINE™.
•
Use the same precau
ti
ons and instructions for a
tt
aching the NINJALINE™ EXCEPT the height for your
slackline setup will be only as high as the knee height of your shortest user-DO NOT EXCEED 3 feet in height
from the ground!
FIRST TIME SLACKLINER’S “THREE WORDS”:
SHORT-
Use a short (and more stable)
Distance between posts/trees.
LOW-
Set Slackline just above the height of the knee (standing on the ground) of the shortest person
using the line. This way it’s easy to step onto the line and begin.
TIGHT-
By having the line tension a
littl
e
tight
er, you gain more stability. Later, you can adjust
tension to
fit
your perfect LT-Line Tension.
SLACKLINE BASICS: Step onto the line with your feet while keeping your elbows up by your ears. Fix your
eyes down the line. DON’T LOOK DOWN! Looking at your feet will throw you o
ff
balance even more.
Instead, by looking down the line or at the connec
tin
g posts/trees it helps your balance perspec
ti
ve. RELAX
and
keep yourself loose, being rigid and up
ti
ght prevents you from balancing properly. Your movement on the line
should be as
fl
uid as possible.
WARNING: Adult Supervision Required –
SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH MAY RESULT-Always
exercise extreme cau
ti
on when slacklining. Only
one person slacklining at a
time.
