What do you love about Slacklining?
"Initially, Slacklining was a major tool to allow me to concentrate on one thing and therefore to learn to clear the air around me. Beyond that, the feeling of freedom and lightness when I walk on the slack is something unique that brings me a lot of happiness. One of the biggest value of this sport, I see obviously in the community, which is superb and with which one can also improve and discover climbing, juggling, acro yoga, and many other activities.
I would say that the environment in which we practice is very often breathtaking, and the fact of just being out there for a certain amount of time each time alone - this allows us to really immerse ourselves in it and therefore benefit from it up to the most."

What are your objectives in Slack- or Highlining?
"As I love walking long distances, I would say that my goal is to continue to get involved in special and especially beautiful long-highline projects. However, I am also attracted by the show part. I especially often train tandem and highline freestyles practices. I also find it very interesting to share our discipline through workshops and to share our knowledge and expertise."
