Quick Summary:

It’s called SLACKLINING, and it traces its origins to the 1980’s in Yosemite National Park when rock climbers began rigging a piece of tubular webbing between two trees for a more dynamic balancing experience. Over the past 30 years slacklining has become an extreme sport with highly skilled slackliners doing daredevil stunts on lines stretched across spectacular landscapes.

Whether the line is suspended 2 feet above the ground or 2,000 feet up, the principle in slacklining remains the same: Using intense concentration to stay balanced on an unstable line anchored between two fixed points.

Suspended between his FATHER and THE WORLD, Jesus takes to the slackline one more time to show his friends what’s at stake and how they—how we—can keep our balance.
