Hi! I'm Emily. I'm 25 years old, love coffee, giggling, and playing outside. I discovered the sport of slacklining in January 2009 and immediately became addicted the art of perfecting my balance. I couldn't stop daydreaming about walking my first highline! A few months later after successfully walking the Lost Arrow Spire Highline in Yosemite Valley I knew that I had found something really special. I love the way I feel on the line: challenged yet calm, focused, determined. For me slacklining is like a moving meditation; when I am on the line it tests my physical and mental strength in a way that I have never experienced before. Slacklining is the perfect metaphor for life: there are always going to difficulties along the way but we all have it in us to push past them and just keep walking. There is so much potential within the sport and I can't wait for all of the adventures and challenges to come! E-mail: emily.christine786@gmail.com

I broke my personal longline record!!!

Today Mike, Hayden, Jared and I set up a 413 foot longline in the park (in Moab) and the "send-ergy" was high. I smashed my personal record with an on-sight! I am super stoked to have finally beaten 300 feet; It's such a milestone! I feel like I have been stuck at 300 for quite some time. It only made me more excited to try and break the 500 mark very soon. I'm SO excited to be living here in Moab because there is so much opportunity to do everything that I love.....climbing, tricklining, longlining, and highlining. I decided to get a job here waiting tables so I can spend as much time here as possible.  ;-)
