Slackline. Harder then walking home drunk, but a hell of a lot more relaxing! If you haven't tried it before, come on down and we'll show you the ropes. If you have, we've got higher lines and 25-30M for a bit more challenge. This is an addictive sport and you're gonna want your own line sooner or later.

SLACKLINING 走扁帶 / 走软绳 / 走绳

Slacklining is a practice in balance that uses nylon webbing tensioned between two anchor points. The line is dynamic, stretching and bouncing like a long and narrow trampoline, allowing for impressive tricks and stunts. More info:

WHAT TO BRING?

Signed PXT Waiver (required once): http://www.projectxteam.org/events/pxt-waiver.pdf

Slacklines OR HKD20 Your HKD20 will initially go towards the cost of a few general use slacklines. Afterwards, it will be donated to http://www.changingyounglives.org.hk (http://www.changingyounglives.org.hk/upge.php)

Your Smile & RespectNot just for fellow slackers, but also, for the public and guards. As slacklining is relatively unknown in Hong Kong, the public and guards may be wary of the sport. As long as we slackline safely with spotters and take into consideration the people with whom we share public space with and leave it in excellent condition, we may continue to slackline undisturbed.

The slackline area is sheltered from rain and well-lit at night.
