🤸 The Art of Slack Lining 🤸

---

I live in a vibrant community filled with many circus friends. Today, I thought I would share a hobby many of my friends enjoy doing, called "slack lining." The first time I learned about slack lining was two years ago, when I first joined my rock climbing gym. Boy was I amazed!

Basically, people who slack line are able to balance on a rope. You can walk on the line, swing, bounce, jump and more. Staying on the slack line is quite challenging, as it takes a lot of balance, strength, and coordination. In the @dtube video, you will see my friend David do crazy tricks on the slack line. He uses his arms and core to help keep himself balanced on the moving slack line. To this day, I still do not know how he does it.

Some of my friends, are die hard slackliners. They take slacklining to a whole new level. They like to tie ropes between two mountains and then walk across the rope, aka high lining. When you slack line outside, you must account for wind, as it will throw your balance off.

Here is a photo of my friend Mel, walking the line at Taft Point in Yosemite. Crazy right? I'm still working on just walking on the line!

Anyways, I thought I would share this unique hobby that my friends and I like to do. What do your friends like to do for fun?
