“We are mega proud of our boys @lukasirmler [and] @friedikuehne,” wrote the slackliners’ sponsor on Instagram. “We brought the world record to Germany. At 2,500 meters above the ground, the two ran over the world’s tallest slackline between two flying hot air balloons. Together we broke the Brazilian record of @slackline_international (ISA).”
