starting line

Slacklining was developed by climbers in the 80s and needs little equipment.Two strong trees,some tree protection and a slackline are all that's necessary.The line is hung between the trees and tightened with a ratchet.

The goal of slacklining is to balance,walk and eventually do tricks on this line.Beginners may buy a play line,which features a help line to teach them balance.

Every line

People involved in slacklining are often called slackliner,and each has a slackline of choice.Some slackliners enjoy longlines that they can walk on for extended distances.Other slackliners prefer height to length and use highlines.Then there are those who practice slackline yoga by posing on their lines for exercises.But most slackliners bounce and flip on a trickline.
