TICKET TO THE MOON - Hammock Session in Bismantova, Italy 2018

Описание: In May 2018, Ticket to the Moon and project mastermind Igor Scotland created a spectacular hammock installation high above the Italian countryside at Pietra di Bismantova – a dramatic sandstone rock formation hundreds of meters above the valley floor.

🌄 About this adventure:
The dream of sleeping in hammocks at extreme heights began in 2012 at the first Highline Meeting in Monte Piana (Dolomites), sparked by pioneers Armin Holzer and Igor Scotland. Their idea evolved into an annual collective hammock gathering – and this video captures the 6th edition of that dream in action.

On May 17, 2018, the crew gathered again – facing chilly 5°C winds overnight, supported by underquilts (insulated covers beneath the hammock). The next morning, a colorful aerial spectacle unfolded:

🌈 18 people hanging in one installation
🎪 Acroyoga on highlines
🎭 Aerial silk performances
🧗 Highlining over a 50-meter gap

⚠️ Performed by trained professionals. The rig was rated at 120 kN (12,000 kg) with full backup and safety protocols.
