We are accustomed to thinking of walking on a tightrope, as a kind of circus skills, which in ancient times, fakirs entertained audiences in the markets. However, in our days walking on a tightrope turned into a full-fledged sport called "SLACKLINING." He has a lot of fans around the world and regularly collects international championships.
The
main sports equipment is modern high-wire SLACKLINE - it is a nylon
sling in width from two to five centimeters, which is stretched between
two supports with the ratchet. That is SLACKLINE outwardly looks much the same as a car tow rope. Its main difference is that sports a sling made from a flexible and springy material, and of course decorated with cheerful.
At first glance it may seem that walking on the sling - fun for the gymnasts. However SLACKLINE - very democratic sports equipment, and it can bring a lot of positive emotions to every fan of an active lifestyle. Especially in summer, when trips to countryside outings are scheduled regularly, and the question arises what is there to do. To tighten the SLACKLINE only need two strong trees at a distance of 5-10 meters between them is more or less flat meadow.
Stepping on a sling you'll probably be surprised what a storm of emotions that can cause a simple sports equipment. Keep the balance on the narrow strip of nylon - it's not simple, but very funny, and not only for the tightrope walker, but for others. The audience will laugh a lot, watching the attempts to resist SLACKLINE. By the way, you can draw on the very low altitude, so traumatic it can hardly be called fun.
Surprisingly, this simple, seemingly act as walking a tightrope brings a real pleasure. After all, catching the balance on the sling requires considerable concentration, that is, to allow training time to forget all the troubles. In addition, it's a good exercise. Walking on SLACKLINE burns calories and strengthens legs. So, learning to control the body dangling on the sling, you will feel that the earth began to walk confidently. If you are an experienced athlete, training and coordination of movements is useful to you. For example will help to keep fit fans of skiing and snowboarding in the summer. And if you're planning a trip to the tropical country to learn surfing, SLACKLINE also be a good trainer. After all, to stand on the wave of the sea requires a good coordination of movements.
Stepping on SLACKLINE spanned the first time you decide to stay on it is simply impossible - sling terribly loose, not giving what is not to walk on it, but even to stand. But in fact, not hanging strap, and your own feet and taking control of the body you hit the balance. Put your right foot along the SLACKLINE and abruptly wake up. After the tenth attempt is sure to succeed. The closer you stay to the support, the less will be hanging strap and stand on it will be easier. By learning to stand on SLACKLINE, you can quickly learn to walk on it. And then, and do simple tricks - to turn around, walk backwards, and put on a sling.
And it certainly is not the limit. Advanced sleklaynery jump on slings, both on a trampoline, managing to even do a somersault in the air and get back on a narrow strip. Another subspecies SLACKLINE - the so-called longlayn - is walking on very long lines on the high altitude. Some ekstremalschiki walking a tightrope over the abyss, even without insurance. To reach such heights of sports will be trained in the gym, where the SLACKLINE are soft mats, and at high altitude you tie tether. To know what to strive for, watch the video with the international competitions in kanatohodstvu. And who knows, maybe you are so imbued with this sport that can be written in regular exercise.
It is believed that SLACKLINING invented in the seventies, American climbers, who thus amused at the halts. Initially, they used simple climbing slings, which stretched through blocks by hand. Many people now use a similar technique. However, the "amateurs" are usually ready for SLACKLINE kits, which include the very slings with a loop at the end of the sling and short, as with the loop and ratchet - tensioner. Both parts of the overlooked SLACKLINE in their own loops and tightened around the trees. Then a long sling is passed to the rattle, and stretched all the way. Manufacturers claim that spanned SLACKLINE holds up to 4 tons, so you can ride on it safely.
SLACKLINE differ mainly in the degree of springiness. Cheap models slightly springy. Learning to walk on them easier, but that jumps to work out is unlikely to succeed. But they are lighter and occupy less space. A more professional SLACKLINE made to a high pop, in addition to rubberized surface, it does not allow the feet to slide when landing.
Just SLACKLINE differ in length. Standard length is 15 meters and for entertainment on a country picnic you are unlikely to need more.
Get SLACKLINE and you will always have an excellent opportunity to get to the park at night to fresh air, rather than sitting at home watching TV.
