This is the most beautiful documentary I've seen. A real ode to the old canarios. Thank you very much for making such a wonderful video, makes me proud to be Canary Island heritage. My grandfather had a lanza, we still have some land up the mountain that the shepherds still use for their cattle. I'ts wonderful how the canary islands is so connected to its past yet so few understand or promote this.
This is soooo much better than all the other videos I've seen on this, it actually shows it being used. Wow, those cliffs look terrifying, but also, awesome!
This is just what i've been needing when navigating the rocky terrain in South Texas! All the rivers here are surrounded by 10ft tall boulders and regular trekking poles arent sufficient. My friends and I usually have to manually climb and descend by hand. I cant wait to make a Saltadores pole.
Curiously, the state of Texas is closely related to Canary Islanders, who were the founders of San Antonio, maybe you can contact some Islanders association.
Grandiosa y espectacular disciplina venida de una tradición milenaria de gente laboriosa, valiente, ágil, inteligente, caminar entre riscos, picos, cimas y honduras. Gracias por mostrarnos ese deporte extremo practicado por el pueblo CANARIO..
Que buenoooooo!!!!! Yo salto con el Chiregua en La Orotava. Tenemos el canal Saltando Riscos. Estaría guapísimo ir a probar por Nueva Zelanda!! Jejejejeje. Un abrazo enorme. Precioso video.
Hola Juanma Perdona por no contestarte antes, acabo de ver tu comentario. Que bueno que estes con el Chiregua y aprovecha los riscos de Tenerife. Canarias es el lugar ideal para saltar. A ver si algun dia nos vemos en NZ o en Canarias. Un abrazo!!!
@@juanmamac7809 jajaja que grande eres Juanma, avísame pa ir con ustedes (Soy julio de Aguere :P). La verdad es que los vídeos están espectaculares, esa posición adelantada y girada de la cámara le da una perspectiva de infarto, yo que llevo 25 años saltando se me ponen de corbata.
Soy Canario y me ha encantado el vídeo. Le recomiendo hacer un vídeo sobre el “Juego del Palo”. I’m from the Canary Islands and I loved your video. I recommend making one about the “Juego del Palo”, another amazing activity from our ancestors.
Soy tinerfeña y lo cierto, es que me has emocionado, es una suerte vivir donde vivamos. Por desgracia, poco queda de las tradiciones de nuestro pueblo y el salto del pastor no debe perderse, es una prueba más de la cultura de nuestras islas
Hi Thomas The Regaton( metallic end) is usually done by traditional metal workers in the Canaries. You maybe able to find some of them online or maybe some adventures sports shops that sell them online. This is a link to a video that shows how to do a lanza: th-cam.com/video/v2t1L0E3_18/w-d-xo.html I hope it helps. Cheers Antonio
Asheanae...Do you live in UK? Well, many people, in winter and summer, from the whole EU used to visit the Canary Islands on holidays. If you someday came to La Palma island, ask about me in the National Park of La Caldera de Taburiente. I,d be very pleasant to teach you everything about this amazing and tradicional sport.
Antonio. Thanks for the vid. I'm a mountaineer and live in BC in the Okanagan Valley. The terrain is perfect for this and I absolutely want to learn salto and push the sport. Are there any credible resources on the interwebs where one can learn this technique? -or does one just have to take it slowly and gradually learn to feel it?
Hi Shel I am not sure if there are any tutorials online but this video link has a lot of information about it. th-cam.com/video/v2t1L0E3_18/w-d-xo.html Cheers Antonio
Hi! I have recorded some tutorials about the techniques, so you can start to feel it, but I have not edit and upload yet. If you contact me tazaigo@gmail.com I let you now when I do it ;). This videos of Antonio are amaizing, maybe he could easily record some tutorials as well. Think about it Antonio!
Hola Antonio ! Conozco esta actividad extraordinaria desde hace poco, y me estaba hacienda una pregunta a la que podrás contestar sin duda : ¿Cómo haces para viajar con tu pértiga ? ¿La puedes facturar en el avión como el resto del equipaje ? ¿Cuánto mide? Además, te veo utilizar guantes. ¿No te quitan sensibilidad ? ¿Son especiales? Gracias por tus respuestas y por tu video ;o)
Hola Carlos, Hay gente que ha podido facturar las lanzas en vuelos dentro de Espanna( aunque con problemas). En Nueva Zelanda las hize aqui( con regatones de Canarias). Los guantes del video son normales y en efecto disminuyen la sensibilidad y la frenada. Es mejor saltar sin guantes si puedes, en mi caso no puedo por mi trabajo. La lanza del video es de unos 3.30 metros( aproximadamente). Gracias y buena Suerte!
@@antoniopalmero4054 Muchisimas gracias por tu rapida respuesta, sin olvidarte de ninguno de los puntos solicitados. Debo decirte que tu video es el mejor que he visto hasta ahora en cuanto a la práctica del Salto, y visualmente en cuanto a la realización y a la elección del sitio de rodaje
I would love to more about techniques! Some of those cliff paths looked so vertical, how do you prevent yourself overshooting a landing? How do you make a garrote? I live in the UK and would like to practice this skill!

Hi Asheanae My apologies for the late reply, I just saw your comment. After you practice Salto del Pastor Canario for a while, the lanza becomes an extension of yourself( in a way is like having a third 3 meters long extra leg) and you can feel the terrain through it. Salto del Pastor's techniques allow you to control the speed and force of landing and you constantly have to adjust them for your needs. About the terrain, the Saltadores are use to read it and know exactly where to position themself to maximize safety. The making of a Garrote is a bit complex and my advice is to get a traditional expert to make it( specially the regaton). The best way to learn it form the UK is to go to the Canaries. Tomas is a very experience practitioner and La Palma is absolutely Majestic! Take care and I wish you luck on your exploration! Cheers Antonio
@@antoniopalmero4054 thank you so much for getting back to me! Yes I'd love to get out to the Canaries and commission a proper garrote! The problem at the moment is the UK is not dealing with the pandemic very well... it's likely going to be at least a year before travel, or even imports will be viably possible. Is there a way I can DIY a decent enough version in the mean time? I think I can get a 3 meter pole of eucalyptus, which is an extremely tough grained wood that works great for axe handles etc, so I think it should be good? And I have a local blacksmith that does a lot of weapons and reenactment work that could make a regaton?
Hi Wolfgang I usually use gloves to reduce heat. They reduce friction and avoid burning the hands as well as the building up of hard skin( which I can't afford due to my job). However, it is harder to slow down on some jumps as well as they decrease the general feeling of the lanza. My advice is to get your hands use to the lanza and maybe only use gloves when you think you need them. Cheers Antonio
This skilled looked like it would be really fun and enjoyable to have learned. That was until they put the camera the position that shows they are literally climbing down cliffs faces. Fuck that
Those cliffs are actually not sheer. The bubble-lens he's using gives a false vertical impression. We have lots of this terrain in Western Canada and traverse it regularly without rope & gear 🙂 ...anyway, it's time to make me a salto pole 🙃
@@_Solaris all of the other videos I've seen, the terrain appeared rather easily traversable. I just assumed those camera angles were to blame since that was the first view I had seen from directly above. I be still been interested with giving it a roll. Just not there. Appalachians will be just fine

I live in the Okanagan Valley, BC. I'm making me a salto pole immediately.
See you in the hospital!
Greetings from the hills of the San Francisco Bay Area! Wish I had some of that Canadian healthcare right about now, but here we go!
Probably I should Start a Salto pastor insurance company. I was always wondering where that Olympic pole vault came from.
Buenas Antonio olé tú valor por andar por esos riscos tan complicados, gracias por divulgar parte de la cultura canaria

I love this. Of all my years. I've never heard of this. My only question is. How do you get back up??
2:10 of this video will give you a look at a technique in traversing up instead of down

This is so cool, I hope this practice never dies
Roosevelt's favorite video, the definition of "speak softly and carry a big stick."
So interesting and such a great little film! If you've not done so already you should definitely submit this to some mountain film festivals.
Thanks Caedmon!

This documentary is lovely
This is extremely interesting. Great video.

Antonio, amazing video. Did the indigenous peoples of the Canary Islands bring their goats with them when they settled there?
Hi James, I think the goats were brought to the canaries by the first of the inhabitants.

Do you use general/always gloves? for better friction or heat reduce ?
