A comprehensive Guide to Rigging and Walking Techniques for Tricklines,
Longlines and Highlines!
Originating in the climbing world, slacklining is the act of balancing along a
narrow, flexible piece of webbing that has been anchored between two stable
objects. How to Slackline! covers the short history of slacklining and the
sport`s rapid growth since the advent of the Gibbon Trickline, which brought
slacklining to enthusiasts outside the climbing community.
The book includes detailed methods for building tricklines (low lines used for
jumping tricks), longlines (low lines where the goal is to walk as long as
possible), and highlines (slacklines rigged high between cliffs using climbing
gear). Technique chapters cover the skills needed to practice all types of
slacklining.
