Slacklining is similar to tightroping, but it is on a thicker strap and the line is much looser.
It originated in the 1980s, and was created by circus performers. It saw mainstream growth in the 2000s when doing tricks on the line became popular.
The sport includes a wide range of skills. It varies from simple things like walking across the line, to doing intense tricks and flips off the line.
"It's a little intimidating, a little scary, but it's just something you can progress really rapidly with. It definitely takes time and I like things that challenge me,” Quinn Hancock, a hobby slackliner, said.
Getting started with slacklining is not very difficult or expensive.
"You don't need much, it's really just the slackline you need to buy,” McKay Dennis, a Brigham Young University student, said.
Slacklining is a great activity for warm summer days. Many people find it relaxing and use it as a resource for getting away from the everyday stresses of life.
"It takes my mind off of everything, so then every other stress falls away, and I don't have to worry about it,” Dennis said.
"I like going out by myself, it's super peaceful, it's just you and the slackline," Hancock said.
Slacklining is a great group activity and accessible to all skill levels.
