It is clear that the latter signals arise in our brain faster and therefore influence our balance to a larger extent.īy practising, we can tap into our unconscious and start discovering our new abilities and possibilities. If we want to walk on a slackline, we must find the right balance between maintaining concious, rational control and surrendering to feelings and intuition or, in other words, unconscious responses. One of inherent characteristics of walking along the webbing is its constant shaking and a wave-like motion which is caused by ourselves. As you progress, you can gradually mount the slackline higher above the ground and allow for more slack in it.The length of the line should be 3m to 6m. Beginners should start practising on a slackline which is pulled tight and mounted close to the ground (20cm above the ground). It is easiest to start in the basic position, by putting one foot on the webbing and use the other for finding balance.You can also decrease the difficulty by having someone sit on the middle of the slackline and stabilize it with their feet. When you are making your first steps on a slackline, let someone help you to find balance by holding your hand – but only to prevent you from falling (holding out one finger is enough).Breathing also calms down an overly active and wandering mind. When installing your slackline for the first time, it is important to keep it short. This will help to prevent stiffness in your body. Be conscious of your breathing and keep it calm and steady.Shift the weight to your front leg only when you have properly placed it on the webbing. Be mindful of how you transfer your weight.Slightly bend your knees to engage the legs, tense your torso and completely relax your arms.Hold your arms above the shoulders in the form of a letter U and, to find balance, move them gently and perpendicularly to the webbing.Place your feet horizontally along the webbing (and not under an angle).By looking straight in front of you, you improve your body posture, focus and spatial awareness. When walking along the webbing, we learn how to maintain balance by minimising our reliance on visual signals as this helps us gain better awareness of our entire body. Focus your gaze on a single stationary point horizontally in front of you.Besides perseverance, it is important to pay attention to the following key factors: Did you try to step on a slackline but it started to shake uncontrollably? Do not worry, this is completely normal.
