Kilter 2017

Looks like a Tightrope, but it’s a Slackline. Looking for balance in life? How about you see how well you can stand on a flat piece of rope 1-2 inches wide and walk across? Oh, you can walk it? Why don’t you try sitting on it. Oh that’s easy too? How about you bounce on it? Well, there’s so much to explore on the slackline - balance, spatial ability, focus, breathing, posture, a whole bunch of tricks - whatever you can imagine. A meditation, sport and art-form all rolled into one, Slacklining is a new-age tool for the body and mind. YouTube slacklining, be inspired, and come!
