What is slackline anyway?

Popular in coastal regions of Brazil, slacklining is among the favorite physical activities of adventurers. This is because, to practice it, it is necessary to use a narrow and flexible ribbon that will be tied from one point to another.

When choosing the ribbon material, with nylon and polyester being the most popular, it is necessary to fasten it at two fixed points. It is essential to make sure that it is securely fastened, after all, the movements will be performed on it.

Speaking of which, the way in which slackline is practiced varies according to the athlete's level of experience. It is possible to perform maneuvers and also play with static or dynamic movements.
