Want To Try Slacklining in Chennai? Head To This Free Workshop And Find That Perfect Balance

Slacklining is the coolest thing since sliced bread. It is tight rope walking that you see in circuses, sans the fear of imminent death. A fairly new sport, Slacklining as the name suggests is performed on a slackline that is a flat 15-30 foot cord that is tied between to immovable objects a foot or two off the ground.

The goal is to be able to balance yourself on the line, which is a surprisingly tricky task given how wobbly the line is. But what if balancing is too easy? Try walking. Nailed that too? How about jumping?! All that and more is in store for you at a beginner’s event held on December 3 by a group of slackliners right here in Chennai.

While the thought of falling and getting injured maybe scary at first, don’t worry, it’s safe. You will be supervised the whole time and any falls that may happen will be on a soft bed of grass just a foot below you.

The biggest draw for us, is that it’s a physical activity that’s fun, especially when there’s a group around to support you. Even watching is fun too. Seeing practiced slackliners jump and perform tricks with ease, almost like they’re on a trampoline, is awe-inspiring to say the least.

A physical activity like no other, Slacklining is a full body activity that requires concentration and core strength. The constant thought of trying to balance also helps you forget that your body is actually being taxed. Think of it as working out without feeling like you’re working out. And isn’t trying something different exciting? Oh and it’s free too! Win-win!
