Despite what the name might suggest, slacklining is not for slackers. The sport requires walking on thin webbing suspended between two objects and is all about testing balance—and gravity. And it’s not just an exercise for the body: it also helps focus the mind. Here, Nina Borzoni, the director of sustainability for Associated Students of the University of Utah, participates in Wasatch Magazine ’s slackline competition on campus this fall. Competitors were judged on the variety and difficulty of their tricks.
