Red Bull athlete and 3-time Slackline World Chaampion Jaan Roose recently set a new world record by successfully walking the longest LED ‘Sparkline’ walk on Qatar’s Katara Towers. This feat was completed while hovering at a height of 195 meters (639.7 feet) as he balanced on the 150 meter (492.2 feet) line between night and dawn while dealing with gusty wind conditions.
Roose says that the warm LED lights and their extra weight changed really how the line interacted with his body weight, as it made it feel like skateboarding on a big heavy tree-trunk rather than a light board. Despite the obstacles, he overcame the odds and completed this feat here at the Iconic Towers. Qatar’s Sparkline walk debuted as the longest walk on a single building ahead of several key events in the country including the Qatar MotoGP, AFC Asian Cup, and Qatar Formula 1 Grand Prix.

Anything worth achieving comes with its fair share of challenges, and I’m proud to complete this one. Per meter walked, this line was my toughest ever. As an athlete, I am always looking to push myself further and defy the odds,” said Roose.
