Slacklining Swindon 

No, we didn't know what it was either. Until today!

 

Slacklining is a cross between tightrope walking and doing stunts on trampoline - and it's pretty impressive, as we found out today.

 

Walking through Old Town, we took these pictures of two slackliners practicing their art in Town Gardens. Moves included twisting, bouncing, jumping and changing direction in a brilliant balancing act with no aids on a nylon rope just 2" wide.
