Comecei a tentar fitas cada vez mais longas e rapidamente cheguei no ponto onde precisei de novos equipamentos para aumentar o comprimento da fita que eu era capaz de andar.

 

A partir disto ponderei a idéia de começar minha própria empresa de salckline durante minha viagem de highline no verão de 2009. Assim a Balance Community nasceu em agosto de 2009. A partir da minha paixão por slackline tudo foi levado para outro nível.

 

Ao longo dos últimos anos tenho trazido a Balance Community para o ponto onde é hoje uma referência dentro da comunidade. Durante este tempo eu tambep tenho continuado a puxar meus limites em linhas cada vez mais longas.

 

Recentemente atravessei o primeiro highline acima de 300 metros de comprimento. Eu também já atravessei mais de 10 highline acim de 100 metros de comprimento e muitos longlines acima de 300 metros. Tenho planos de continuar puxando meus limites no domínio de longline e highline nos próximos anos, mantendo e evoluindo a Balance Community em pleno desenvolvimento com uma marca de highline e slackline.

It all started when I began slacklining on my 21st birthday in 2007, I was instantly hooked the moment I stood up on the line. I went out and bought my first slackline from the local climbing shop. I learned quickly and was able to walk 50 ft. lines within the first couple of weeks. 

 

I then began trying longer and longer lines and soon came to the point where I needed new gear to facilitate the lengths of lines that I was capable of walking. 

 

I then pondered the idea of starting my own slackline company during my highline tour in the summer of 2009. Balance Community was then born in August of 2009. From then my passion for slacklining has been taken to a whole other level. 

 

Over the past few years I have brought Balance Community to the point where it is now a staple within the community. During this time I have also continued to push myself on longer and longer lines. 

 

Recently I walked the first highline that was longer than 1,000 feet (300m). I've also walked more than 10 highlines longer than 100m in length and several longlines longer than 300m. I have plans to continue to push myself in the longline and highline realm for years to come while maintaining and growing Balance Community to be a full fledged highline and slackline brand.
