Slacklining is a practice of balance that uses 1 inch nylon webbing tensioned between two anchor points, distinct from tightrope walking in that the line is dynamic and bounces like a narrow trampoline. The tension of the line can be adjusted for different users and feats, and the flat webbing prevents feet from rolling, allowing for impressive tricks on the dynamic line.

2. ? Slacklining is a practice in balance that typically uses
1 inch nylon webbing tensioned between two
anchor points. Slacklining is distinct from tightrope
walking in that the line is not held rigidly taut
(although it is still under some tension); it is instead
dynamic, stretching and bouncing like a long and
narrow trampoline.
? The line's tension can be adjusted to suit the user and
different types of webbing can be used to achieve a
variety of feats. The line itself is flat, due to the nature
of webbing, thus keeping the slacker's footing from
rolling as would be the case with an ordinary rope.
The dynamic nature of the line allows for impressive
tricks and stunts.
