Before attempting the first steps, you should be able to stand on the slackline on just one leg for 5-10 seconds. This has the advantage that you can balance with the second leg. Both the left and right leg must be trained.
Pay attention to the following points:
- Looking forwards;
- Arms above shoulder height;
- Feet straight on the slackline;
- Knees slightly bent;
- Hips upright.
Easing:
Perform the exercise close to the attachment; stretch the slackline taut over a short distance (3-5m); sit a partner in the middle of the slackline to dampen the initial shaking; help a partner by holding their hand (always go with the balancing movement and only stabilise if the slackliner is about to fall).
Hardening:
Cross your arms (in front of your stomach, behind your back or over your head)
