Slackline fun!

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:

  1. Keep your eyes on the opposite end of the line right where it meets the tree.
  2. Keep your arms wide and high.
  3. Keep your feet facing forwards, not sideways.
