I have always been athletic but didn’t quite know what I liked as a young kid. Baseball and basketball never quite did it for me, my long distance running days were short-lived on the track, and marching percussion was an activity that I will never forget but was destined to end due to its age restriction. But my natural athleticism found a home in slacklining. From my middle school days all the way until now as a college grad, my obsessive tendency manifested itself in Dance Dance Revolution, Rubik’s cubes, Guitar Hero, percussion, and slackline. Slackline has introduced me to all sorts of people, places and activities I would have otherwise not been exposed to, too many to list. And I am very grateful to have slackline in my life. Coming from Ohio where slackline is less-known, I cherish the moments where I can slackline with or speak about slackline methods with another individual who cares about the sport. The slackline and I have a long life ahead of us together.
