Slackline tricks: Parallels with footbag freestyle

First time seeing these kinds of slackline tricks. Some pretty sweet moves. It's cool how this guy is stringing moves together, at a pace that's similar to footbag ie faster than vert skateboard/snowboard/etc. I'm guessing slackline trick links have different qualities to them, the same way ripwalk > blur feels different from torque > blur.

I really enjoy slacking. I have noticed the same thing about it that you mentioned. Definitely a fun sport that has similar qualities to freestyle footbag.

Here's a video of me and this other footbag player at Funtastiks skackin' and hackin'. It's SO hard to do any tricks with a footbag on a slackline :P
