We have been learning how to slackline during some of our afternoon sessions. Slacklining if kind of like tightrope walking, but the rope isn’t a ‘tight’ cable, it’s a long piece of webbing that technically doesn’t get tight and always has a large sag when loaded. This means that when someone stands on it, it bends down and wobbles a lot making it really hard to walk along. We are practicing our skills and slowly getting better at it.
The three secrets to slacklining are:
- Keep your eyes on the opposite end of the line right where it meets the tree.
- Keep your arms wide and high.
- Keep your feet facing forwards, not sideways.
