walk the line

The art of balance and the craft of slackline: Walk the Line is the slackline
book for anyone who is interested in learning about slacklining and for those
who already walk, this book is a must.
‹I have read that modern circus tight rope started in Kazakhstan at least two
thousand years ago. Other cultures have had slack rope and tight rope
traditions that go back quite a ways.

The Yosemite rock climbers tradition of slack chain goes back to the sixties
or seventies and is said to have been inspired by an old circus tight rope
walker who lived in Colorado. But few took chain walking seriously. The
earliest modern slackline, (tubular nylon webbing) that I know about was
walked by Adam Growsowski and Jeff Ellington.›
