Slackline

Play value

A new level of exercise is created by simply stretching a line. Leaving the normally solid ground beneath you, suddenly poses completely new challenges. The continuous forwards movement makes first mastering the capricious system a must. Playing companions or an accompanying person can offer a fixed point for the tightrope walker at the beginning to help them conquer the balancing act. The continuously evasive line pushes the user towards increasingly successful methods to triumph over the unsteadiness in free space. It quickly becomes clear that continuous balancing movements and control over the body's centre of gravity are the decisive skills needed to accomplish forwards movement. Progressive exercises with backwards walking, knee stands or an inclined line remain an option for the practised user.
