SLACKLINING


"Slacklining is a practice in balance that typically uses 1 inch nylon webbing tensioned between two anchor points. Slacklining is distinct from tightrope walking in that the line is not held rigidly taut (although it is still under some tension); it is instead dynamic, stretching and bouncing like a long and narrow trampoline. The line's tension can be adjusted to suit the user and different types of webbing can be used to achieve a variety of feats. The line itself is flat, due to the nature of webbing, thus keeping the slacker's footing from rolling as would be the case with an ordinary rope. The dynamic nature of the line allows for impressive tricks and stunts."

Walk the Line is UT's first official slacklining club. We meet every Wednesday from 7-9pm on the South Mall, and have an informal/optional Bible study immediately after. You don't have to be an experienced slackliner to join! It is such a fun sport to try out and we welcome the beginners. Come join us! We'd love to meet you!
