On The Road

For a few years I’ve been wanting to try setting up a slackline and giving it a try and on Sunday I finally did.

The other day i Stumbled on a site that had some videos of people slacklining and doing some crazy tricks like backflips and what not.  I showed Karleigh and we decided to try it out in her parent’s backyard.  I had most of the stuff in my climbing gear and since we live in Utah, the Mecca of rock climbing, the other stuff like webbing isn’t too hard to come by.

It was pretty to easy to set up and in no time we were falling off the line and breaking each others collar bones trying to regain our balance.  Luckily my wife is a great photographer so she got some pictures that make it look like we already know what we’re doing.

We’ll keep practicing and maybe some time we’ll be posting videos of us actually walking on it instead of pictures of the split second where we look balanced.
