From March to June 2020 we challenge you with 10 different slackline tasks that you have to master. After the task is released, you have 3 weeks to stick the challenge. Every week, a new challenge will be released. Every time you succeed to fulfill the task, you will get to the next round to become a Slackline Freestyle Champion. Every week the tasks will become more challenging. This year, due to the circumstances, the challenges will take place on (indoor) rodeolines. As some of you might not have much space at home, surfing challenges won’t be part of the game. If the tasks are too easy for you, try to combine all of them into one combo.
Most importantly: Please stay safe! If you feel like one of the tasks could lead to an injury, please don’t do it. You can use mats to lower down the risk. Stay home, stay safe, but don’t forget to have fun.
