What is a Slackline?
Slacklinng is a type of balance sport that requires the use of nylon webbing, this nylon webbing is then tensioned between two different types of anchor points (for instance two trees) Slackline is different from tightrope walking due to the fact that the slackline is not held rigidly taught; a slackline still requires tension but not as much as a tightrope. The slackline can then move more freely and as such can recoil a bit like a trampoline does (i.e. the slackline is springy)
You can adjust the tension on a slack line and you can even use different types of webbing; it is when you combine these variations in the webbing and tension ...
... that you can create some very weird and wonderful feats. You can do so many tricks and stunts the possibilities are really endless.
