the basic idea of slacklining is tight rope walking, only instead of the rope being pulled taught. the line hangs loose (slack) so you can surf and bounce it. super fun. you use a peice of tubular webbing

practice is pretty much what got me going. you should be able to start walking a decent sized line in no time at all. i dunno tho if you have rediculous rail skiilz it shouldnt be a problem haha. try it though. dont let the difficulty put you down. its super relaxing
