A community supported organization to promote the amazing sport of slacklining and offer the public general information about gear, slack dates, benefits, gatherings, and share experiences/thoughts! From balance, meditative states, tricks, high lines, river crossings, we take the sport to the next level. Slackline : Webbing(Rope) tensioned between two anchors allowing the individual to walk and st
and on the tight line. Anchors : Trees (1 ft in diameter at least), Boulders, poles, anything you can get creative with! Living a part of the slack world you will endeavor magical balance training, phenominal anxiety/stress relief, core exercise and strengthening, flexibility and a conscious mind. Being able to balance on the line requires intense focus with relaxed thought. If ANYHING is on your mind, your slack line abilities will not peform at their highest potential. Relax, breathe, find your inner peace and connect with the line. Let the ego/materialistic world slip away and enter the realm of self centered energy. Be amazed and fall in love with your innerself capabilities. Self centered energy goes hand and hand with the meditative state. Use rythm and the movement of the line to your advantage. Feel the flow of the bend and slack from the rope and go with it! Beginners encourage mass dedication! The more you devote yourself to connecting with the line, the prime results are returned. Be smooth and calm for the transition of your steps. Experiment, have fun, bounce, sit, sleep, stretch on the line! A simple concept with outstanding and exhilarating rewards. Give it time and in no time you will be living the slack life! The community Fort Collins, Colorado is supportive and intrigued when it comes down to the sport.
