Tony Sukiennik Slacklining has allowed me to continue to stretch my limits even though my aging joints continue to try to limit me... But more important than physical balance, being able to mentally balance wanting to accomplish a goal without wanting it so much that you can't function at your peak is why I am enthusiastic to be a Slackliner...Yesterday at 11:17am ·
Stevie Greenwald Slackling is everything. It instills a sense of wonder yet anyone can learn it. It can be as simple as some webbing and some trees or as complex as a doubly redundant highline deep in the mountains. It is as relaxed as yoga or as intense as skating a half pipe. It's the one think anyone would need while stranded on a desert island.Yesterday at 11:19am ·

James Gallerani Jr Because everyone's just walking around on their damn cellphones now. It's nice to relax, get on the line, and socialize. Often it stops passers by in their tracks.20 hours ago ·

- 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

Why do we slackline?
I recently took the time to take a poll on facebook....Why do we slackline? I know why I slackline, but honestly I think that hearing it from upwards of 20 different people explains it a lot better than I ever could. Here are some of the responses that I got! Enjoy them. and feel free to add your own reason in the comments section!
