Have an absolutely awesome slack line but end up falling a lot. Does anybody have any tips?

All you have to do is blink 3 times per 7 seconds while on the line and you will never fall off. It will work. Trust me..

Just do it A LOT. Stare down your trixie (steady point at the end of your line) and try to get on. After a good number of tries you will be able to stand up. After that try a step, then two, then three. Know that you will fall off many many times before you can tackle the line. Focus up and don't get frustrated if you fall a hundred times before you can walk the line.

We have ours set up at all times at the gym and I just make sure every time I walk by it I jump on it and try some stuff. I've been doing this for about 4-5 weeks now and I can do a lot more than I used to be able to. I work at the gym and I'm there everyday so it's easy to work on.

keep walking, look out, back straight, knees bent, breath! remember your balance receptors are in your ears, balance starts in the head!

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
