New trends in extreme sports

Not so old rope

Ropeboarding is a new technical board-sport with more risky variations being developed every day. After mirroring every snowboard and skateboard grab in the book, it has moved on to those with a 180 to 540 “shove it” in and out of the grab (either backside or front side), this made it all the more complicated.

The 360-shove-it-Christ-air is one of the most important tricks. This led the way for variations only dreamed of by vert riders and wake boarders alike. This trick is landed by throwing a 360 shove-it from the feet to either hand while extending torso and legs in “the shape of a crucifix”. Then bringing the board back to your feet before your swing is grounded. There are two main stances. Regular and switch reverse. Regular is with both feet on the board with the rope in-between your legs. Switch reverse is with you lead foot on the other side of the rope.

Taking the slack

The sport of slackline was developed in the late 1970’s and early 1980’s in Yosemite National Park in California; climbers used rest days to walk first on chains, and later on nylon webbing to create a new genre of funambulism – slackline was born.

Both extreme sports will be at the White Air Brighton, Europe’s largest Extreme Sports festival and is on in Brighton from September 18th to 20th. For more details: https://www.whiteair.co.uk/tv
