Slacklining between the trees
Life a couple feet above the ground doesn’t seem to faze freshman Ben Pattison and junior Parker Kempf. Many students have seen the line drawn between trees on Front Campus on warm days and wonder exactly what it is.
Slacklining is a balance sport that requires two anchor points. The sport originates from rock climbers that found a new hobby while they waited for routes.
Pattison and Kempf learned to slackline from previous students, learning the skill and passing it on to the next generation.
The sport requires a sense of balance, nylon webbing and two anchors.
