Wallis Thomson, Thomas Flahr and Aidan Middleton spend a lot of their evenings at the park or the beach and they usually draw a crowd. They set up their slacklines and soon tourists are taking pictures and the curious come over to ask questions.

Wallis says she often practises at Klahani Park and children end up hanging out with her.

香蕉视频直播淭hey come and take over the slackline and that香蕉视频直播檚 OK,香蕉视频直播� says Wallis. 香蕉视频直播淚t香蕉视频直播檚 funny how fast they pick it up.香蕉视频直播�

Slacklines are anchored between two trees and have less tension than tightropes, making them stretch and bounce more like a long and narrow trampoline.

香蕉视频直播淚香蕉视频直播檝e been doing this since mid-May,香蕉视频直播� says Wallis. 香蕉视频直播淭homas introduced me to it. My friend lent me her line and I go out almost every day. As soon as I was able to stand and take a few steps, I couldn香蕉视频直播檛 stop thinking about it. I had to keep trying.香蕉视频直播�

She says it香蕉视频直播檚 addicting and Thomas and Aiden agree, even though they all are sporting bruises on their arms and legs.

香蕉视频直播淚 was climbing and then I started slacking. I still climb but I slackline more,香蕉视频直播� says Aidan.

Thomas saw people doing this at the beach last year. Soon after he owned his own line and was practising daily.

There are many different ways to mount and Thomas is practicing a 香蕉视频直播榮it mount香蕉视频直播�, sitting on the line with one leg bent and the other straight. After getting his balance, he slowly gets into a stand position.

He has his line about five feet off the ground. Aiden has his about eight-feet high and Wallis香蕉视频直播� is about three, but they go back and forth on each-other香蕉视频直播檚 lines depending on what they want to work on. (Aidan practises walking blindfolded on Thomas香蕉视频直播� line.)

Aidan says one thing he likes about it is that it香蕉视频直播檚 social and personal at the same time. He explains that everyone goes through the same learning curves 香蕉视频直播� there are no superstars.

香蕉视频直播淣o one is naturally good 香蕉视频直播� everyone sucks so hard at the beginning 香蕉视频直播� it feels impossible. You can香蕉视频直播檛 even walk five metres, and then it香蕉视频直播檚 doable.香蕉视频直播�

Thomas likes seeing the progression.

香蕉视频直播淵ou stand and fall off, and then you start seeing results as you put more time into it. I have goals, I香蕉视频直播檓 building my way to highlining.香蕉视频直播�

Aidan has done some highlining over 香蕉视频直播楾he Chief香蕉视频直播� in Squamish. He was fully equipped with safety gear, but he did cross the 64-metre gap at the north gully of Chief mountain, 290 metres off the ground.

香蕉视频直播淚t香蕉视频直播檚 terrifying, but you know you香蕉视频直播檙e safe in your heart 香蕉视频直播� it香蕉视频直播檚 all mental. I sat there for 10-15 minutes香蕉视频直播� then I walked it and then I got off and was done for the day. I was so amped,香蕉视频直播� he says in his animated way.

So far, Wallis has no desire to try highlining, but she likes increasing her difficulty and challenging herself.

During the day, Wallis is at the tennis courts 香蕉视频直播渆ither playing or coaching,香蕉视频直播� and in the fall she plans to go to UBC in Vancouver to get a Bachelor of Science, majoring in astronomy.

Thomas is going to Acadia University in Nova Scotia in September. He plans to take engineering and start a slackline group.

Aidan will be going back to UBC (where he is president of the university slacklining club) and continue studying biology.

香蕉视频直播淚 want to end up teaching 香蕉视频直播� but that香蕉视频直播檚 all subject to change.香蕉视频直播�

But one thing he is sure of: 香蕉视频直播淚 want to walk bigger lines.香蕉视频直播�

If you see Wallis, Thomas and Aidan with their slacklines set up at Canoe Beach, or any of the parks, they are happy to let people try out the line.
