Slacklining is a relatively young sport in which you walk on a "slack" band of flat nylon webbing anchored between two points, usually with slings around trees. Pioneered by West Coast rock climbers in the early '80s, slacklining has been booming in popularity in recent years, particularly on college campuses, and is catching on in Boston. This city's first organized club formed this summer, and its members set up their lines near the Hatch Shell on Sunday afternoons.
Seems pretty neat. I bet it helps work your core when you have to balance while walking across the slackline.
