On Sunday afternoon, Amber Reynolds, 18, who lives in the East Village, tried “Slacklining” in Washington Square Park, walking on a narrow slackline tied between two trees. Slacklines are made of nylon webbing and are flat, which allows better footing than on a traditional tightrope and makes it easier for the walkers to do jumps and tricks. The world recently got a glimpse of the slacklining craze during Madonna’s Super Bowl halftime show performance, when a man wearing what looked like a toga did some fancy bouncing moves on a slackline before dismounting by catapulting off of it dramatically with an energetic spring.
