Stills from Slacktivism sessions
What is it ?
Slacklining is a sport / recreational activity that requires one to balance on a flat webbing made up of synthetic materials, fixed between two points, generally trees.
Similar to tight rope walking yet different as the act of balancing is done on the webbing which is not too tight ( as the name reads ) and there is no use of a balancing pole, as otherwise seen in tight rope walking.
Slacklining is often used to hone in on one’s body and learn to focus, and many people enjoy the thrill of doing something that not many others do. The activity has evolved into different styles and even has a World Cup of Slacklining. Additionally, slacklining is considered a recreational and moving meditative activity that can improve core strength, coordination, flexibility, and focus.
The activity has been gaining popularity in India as multiple groups throughout many cities have come up who rig beginner/mid lines/rodeo and trick lines by holding community sessions.
These community sessions are open for the general slacking community as well as beginners to come and try out the sport.
