My slackline is waiting for me when I get home from work today. Prepare yourself for the urban apeman to try his hand (or feet, as it were) at returning to the trees...
But more likely just returning (rapidly) to the ground.




I purchased the slackline as a balance tool to help improve my bike handling skills, and it looks like more fun than playing medicine ball catch-n-throw while kneeling on a swiss ball or standing on a bosu ball.

Once you get good at balancing walking on that thing, next step is to do it on your bike. Then you will have really good skills
