Slackline


Anyone ever heard of it? I hadn't until a few days ago. Its kind of like walking a tight rope, except the rope isn't as tight. Jake was stumbling online and came across a video of some people doing this. They were amazing at it. Some of the guys were doing back flips on it. Just being able to stand on this is (to me) so difficult. So Jake and I decided we wanted to try this. Luckily Jake already had most of the gear for it since he climbs. So we just had to run get the long piece of webbing. We rigged this thing up in my parents back yard between two trees and gave it a try. We got lots of good pictures and got almost everyone there to try. It was such a fun day. :)


My Favorite Picture of Zoey Trying the Slackline



Ryan by far was able to take the most steps without holding onto something.



Trying to get two people on at once.




Ryan falling ( he has the greatest faces in these pics! haha)

Ryan attempting to lay on the slackline, and falling off :)



He got it this time.



Dustin attempting the lay down.



Explaining to Jenna how to try the lay down.



Only stayed like that for a split second, then I was on the ground. :)





One of my favorite Ryan Faces. :)









Three people laying on it.



With two people it almost touched the ground in the middle. Then adding a third, Ryan had it easy, he just layed on the ground :)



Classic Dustin hands



Even Beau Tried :)



Jake has got it down.



Doug Giving it a try.

Its tough to even get on the line.

So did the neighbors wonder why everyone kept walking across your yard?? No 911 calls at least! It looks very fun...and difficult.
