Alan pitches off the line, much to the amusement of his girlfriend and passers-by.

I started to learn the art of the Slackline a few years ago during a climbing trip to Utah. Now I have my own slackline set up in my yard for my mental and physical balancing, and for my neighbor'sviewing pleasure.

This is a shot of Mark on the shorter warm-up line before he walked the longer blue one that ran from the top of the Rostrum to the valley rim. If you look closely, you will see the road down there... over 1000 feet below.

This pic is fairly self-explanatory. We were messing with some rigging to get odd new angles, and happened to time this sequence of shots quite nicely with my least-graceful fall of the day. I especially like the third frame.

You should´ve levitated on this one... ;)

This is a pic of me slacklining on campus here at the wonderful university of delaware. Just started doing some slacking and its great. Still working on walking the whole line but I'm getting there, then on to fun tricks.

Another photo from one of our slackline workshops on SMSU campus. Kevin had never tried a slacking and had only climbed a little but picked it up really quick. He wiped out when he tried some wider swings. He stuck with it and did really well by the end of the workshop.

This photo was taken at one of the slackline workshops on SMSU Campus. China and her daughter stopped to chat and decided to give the line a try.

Actually, the Eskimos don't slack like this, presumably because they don't have trees. But if they did, I'm sure this is the way they would do it. Here I am in my yard on a blistering warm spring morning in February, enjoying some sun while waiting for the crags to dry up.

Well, maybe it's not blistering, or warm, or spring, but it is sunny and February, and that makes up for it. When you live in Alaska, you learn to love it!

This is a shot of myself, slacklining out in the snow. The way i see is, the lines already up, there's no wind, and the conditions are perfect. Never let anything get in your way of a fun time!!

A nice harsh fall for Will. Photo: L Skidmore, Canon EOS 300D

Walking a long cable might not be as fun as slacklining, but it is way more challenging.

We found this 60' cable around the corner from our favorite tavern.
