In close partnership with our friends of the Landcruising Slackline team we spread our ideas to slacklining into the world. Our friendship is based on many wonderful experiences and adventures. The team members help us to define new product designs, support us at events and mediate the values of Landcruising along thier own views when they are on the slackline.

The shortest distance between two points. A fine line, just  waiting that you will set it into vibration. You say to yourself " You are either a foreign body, or  you will be the extension of myself. Breath and control lead you to a movement in which the momentum is provided by yourself in  harmony with the line. Sometimes you might forget what you do there, it just feels so great.

Born 1981 in Düsseldorf - I am an appropriate "Flachländerin" and  i am actually more inside water sports. To be outside and the purist character has always attracted  me on slackline.

Slackline has become my passion. Even as a child I had a weakness for the height and started climbing. Later on I started serious mountaineering and I visited the rocks again and again. I  enjoy the nature, the peace and the clear view over the valleys, the mountains and the sea of clouds. Doing this together with my friends meant a lot to me always.

When I started slacklining, I could not imagine to do this sport  once some 100 meters above the ground. But the boundaries in the slackline sport are moving very fast now, and i like the idea of connecting the mountain sports with slackline. Two generations after Scott Balcom walked the first highline in the Yosemite, we are pioneering the sport  now.

History evolves again. While it was a vertical competition in the 20th century to do  the first ascents of big rock towers, we playing now in the horizontal dimension. Who will be the first to walk prominent highlines?
Similar to the early rock-climbing scene, when climbing proffesionals from around the world met in Yosemite, an international community of highline cracks continues the story.

I was born in 1982 and grew up in the swiss canton of Bern. I studied "New Media" at the Aniversity of Art and Design in Zurich. I have an education as industrial climber too. After my graduation, I made many travels in Europe and to the USA. When I am not in the mountains or on a journey, i am working as a freelancer on different places.

It is an honor for me, to be the first Swiss inside the Landcruising Slackline Team and I am looking forward to realize new projects with Landcruising together.

Imagine:… you stroll through your city. You stumble upon a possibility, calm down and take it with you. You pull it out again and again, hold it in your hand and look exited when its start growing. Eventually the possibility begins to exude a flavor which enchants you, ideas awaken, changes of perception and motivations. You start to realize yourself together with her.

Spring awakening 1983 in the „green heart“ of  Germany …internships and orientation in  the social, pedagogical  and cultural area …What holds the world together inside“? – studies of geography  at the TU Dresden …Beeing outside, travelling, friends....First steps on the line in 2005...

On the line since some time, full of fascination for the variety, describing the first emotion while stepping online with a warm feeling around the throbbing heart.

Born 1981 and raised in Thuringia, after travelling around, living on beautiful places abroad the planet, I live in Dresden since 2004 and discover another "best place" again and again. Currently I am working in a neurological rehabilitation center with children and young people. I experience, despite many obstacles, the richness and joy of human movement every day.

I am online since 1999. At that time, daring Saxon guys went into Yosemite Valley and brought a line back home.  In these days you had to search for strap in the internet to purchase a slackline. But such a line, i used years ago,  i  can´t find anymore today. Sometimes i miss her gentle and playful style. I can not describe the feelings i had on her with the words today. She wasn´t so loose line a Rodeoline, nor was she dynamic like a Swingline. She was just - so slack!

Today i am walking the adult lines.  Thirty, forty meters long and one-two meters high and bouncing the hell out....

A narrow band, a tightrope walk, play with the balance, an unexpected enthusiasm - indeed almost addiction - fascinating and frightening at the same time.

What in the spring of 2006 started innocently grows up to  a big passion in the summer of 2007. The Landshut slackline crew, the slackline event in Scharnitz, the Landshuter Summer Slacking and so  much more....all this contributes to the state that slacklining is  a stable pillar in my life. I prefer walking on longlines and fight my fear on the  highlines.

What i am doing when i am not on the slackline? The alps can be reached from Munich  very quickly. Mountaineering and climbing in the summer, ski touring and telemark skiing in the winter. Since this is all together not for free, i work  as landscape gardener, ski instructor,  outdoor seller, director and if there is  some time remaining I lead the  youth of the German Alpine Fedaration into the mounntains. As an avowed equipment junkie I founded in May 2008 "mind your step - slacklining".

I am sporty socialized over the Saxon climbing. I started to explore the mountains south-east of Dresden and  to climb on the sandstone towers with my brother at an age of 11 years. Initially we were equipped only with an old climbing guide from the 80s. Later we earned more climbing gear and explored together the romantic landscape of the Saxon Switzerland.

The challenge of absolute control over body and mind, even under changing conditions traced the path of my psychology I want to deal with. This meditative effects always lures me back to the line and this results in my passion for long- and highlines.
