I know I’m supposed to be too responsible to promote crazy teen risk-taking activities, but I actually found myself enjoying this video.
TEENAGERS have been slacking off over the holidays, but for once their parents are not complaining.
The latest craze to hit Newcastle is an acrobatic activity called slacklining.
Th e Hunter Sports Centre at Glendale is offering slacklining classes for teens during the school holidays.
Slacklining is tightrope walking with a twist.
Individuals walk across the nylon tightrope, which is not held taut and is similar to a narrow trampoline.
The activity has become increasingly popular in Australia and is commonly performed outdoors between two palm trees.
