Slacking

Slacking at 3000ft

I posted a video of Adam Colton and his friends slacking and then found another one worth posting. First I want to clear what exactly slacking is. Found this: Slack is a loose part, as of a rope or sail. And slacking is then walking on this loose part, trying to keep your balance for training or for making people go OMFG. The OMFG slacking was done by Leo Houlding. He walked across a slackline at 3000 feet to shoot a Berghaus Big Wall clothing range commercial.
