hello it's been over a year since i last slacklined thanks to a little guest house
for bringing the slack line here when the beach is closed you can still practice your balance
on our slackline slack lining is one activity i've really missed in morocco i don't have a slack line
there's not many spots to set up a slack line with the lack of trees in this area
i don't see argan trees supporting a slackline i first saw slack lighting at a music festival
in 2014 the guys that were doing it had ripped six-pack abs so i said hey i must try that
that must be the way unfortunately that did not work out but i'm still able to learn a lot of
things from slacklining finding balance learning to breathe and just a way to relax and have fun
and connect with nature slacklining is one of those things that it's tougher than it looks
it helps to have a teacher but at the end of the day once you have the basics down like
anything else it comes down to practice hours and dedication when you commit to something
you can make it look easy doing feats that others would think are impossible slacklining
not to be confused with tight rope walking traditional circus art began in yosemite
park and climbers were looking for something to do when they were off the wall they began
walking the chain-link fences between posts in the parking lot and the art of slack lining began
from yo 70 park slack lightning has spread around the world with enthusiasts in many major cities
and growing in communities such as india the yoga slackers are a group that are committed
to teaching yoga and slacklining noticing the similarities between the two practices
the focus on the breath but the difference between the mat and the line as you must be 100
focused on the line it does not lie this mindfulness is similar to surfing
when you're on a wave all that exists is that moment all of your worries and troubles melt away
now don't let this sport scare you away we're all beginners at one point and we
all must make many mistakes on the way to success a failure is just one notch on the way to success
just like any new skill it takes patience and perseverance and an open mind
i'm making this video out of curiosity i haven't met any moroccan slackliners i could think of on
my mind right now and i'm wondering if there's anyone that practices this sport in the country
have you seen it before you enjoying the sunshine
so if you know anyone in morocco that practice slacklining please reach out we would love to
meet up with them do an interview play around outside it's always nice to meet other slackers
now we're waiting out the storm in time rat counting the days when we can take a few
trips around here in morocco we're taking careful steps and enjoying each day we have together since
making the video on how much money we made on our youtube channel our earnings have crashed in this
new year so taking careful steps in preparations but at the end of the day we're still relaxed
having our time in morocco as we wait for the world to get back to normal having fun playing
on the slackline and enjoying ourselves thanks for tuning in to slacklining and activity that
turned my world upside down i hope you enjoyed the beautiful views from azul guest house today
