A Popular Outdoor Balancing Trend

Slacklining is a popular trend on the upswing throughout many parts of the United States and abroad. Sharing an obvious association with tightrope walking, a slack line defines itself by its ability to stretch and remain dynamic under the weight of the walker. This significantly increases the difficulty in maintaining balance, offering not only a mental challenge, but a very physical one as well. Unfortunately, the physical stress is not only experienced by the person choosing to walk a slack line. The trees involved bear the weight as well.

The Problem with Slacklining

A slackline is typically placed between two sturdy trees, which introduces the primary issue. It is simply not good for the trees. Although a handful of products have been introduced to lessen the impact of the slack line on a tree, the ideal scenario would be to not involve any trees at all. Not only would this be better for maintaining a healthy wooded area, you can also gain greater freedom on where to place your slack line when you no long require two trees to be agreeably spaced apart.

Enjoy a Slack Line’s Benefits, Without the Hassle

Balancing exercises have long been a way to engage multiple muscle systems at the same time. The best approaches also incorporate and require intense bursts of mental focus. Being able to offer these benefits in the fun and safe setting of a playground increases participation. Slack lines engage the young and old alike, from toddlers still mastering basic dexterity, to older children who seek out challenges, and even adults who understand just how beneficial a slack line can be. With the Slack Line and Slack Line Pro units offered by Goric, you can increase the fun and usefulness of any play area.
