Highline Freestyle | Best Trick

Friday, June 7

4:30pm

Highline Freestyle is a bit different than freestyle slackline events seen in the past. The highline provides long, slow bounces giving the athletes a brief window of weightlessness.  During this window of weightlessness, the athletes can perform a variety of tricks like standing barrel rolls, seated flips, etc.

Athletes will each get 4 attempts to stick their hardest trick on the highline. A single trick is defined as starting at the top of a bounce and ending when the line has gone down and back to the starting position – this is not a combo competition.

Alternatively, athletes can also perform a static pose on the highline instead of a bouncing trick. Static poses might be a difficult yoga position held on the highline, or an arm balance position.
