Samuel Volery - slacktivity.ch

27 year old co-founder of slacktivity.ch GmbH, Sam started slacklining at the age of 22.  Since 2009 he and his partner Tobias Rodenkirch (our other really awesome slackline instructor) have been developing and optimizing new slack designs and then producing their own slackline-sets for indoor and outdoor use. Not only do they bring their latest slackline technology to the market they also teach sport instructors, physiotherapists, kids and teens how to walk the line.  A key component in this instruction is training concentration in the sport. 

Since he began slacklining, Sam has pushed his skills and has walked slacklines which are 100 metres in length.  Thanks to his freeskiing past, he really knows how to stick tricks on a line. Sam is always trying to figure out new jump-combos and from time to time rigs up a highline. His balance and concentration skills have greatly improved since he has started with this extraordinary sport.

Sam studies "Sport and Human Movement Sciences" at the ETH in Zürich and has worked as a sport instructor for the last 3 years. He has written his master thesis on the subject "Balance Training on a Slackline Compared to Balance Training on Traditional Balance Training Devices"
