The night started off with a Good.Clean.Fun<\/a> workout and various games set up by NYC Parks & Recreation. Then local slackliners Becky, Tun, Josh, and Jake set up slacklines at different heights and lengths to accommodate the varied levels of everyone for the night (longer & higher lines are more challenging, shorter and lower to the ground make it easier).<\/div>\n

Participants had a chance to try out the various lines and learn everything from the basics of taking a step to sitting down on the line. As the sun began to set we got to watch the pros do their thing, taking on higher lines and even doing a few tricks.<\/div>\n

Afterwards we headed up to the bar to enjoy a few beers together and talk about our next slacklining adventure. Thanks to all who joined! Next month we’ll be at the North Face <\/a>talking trail running.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
