High-Difficulty Tricks Seconds After "Whoa, Whoa, Whoa"… A Thrilling Act at the Height of a 40-Story Apartment Building

The "Red Bull Seoul Slackline" event took place this afternoon on Sejong-daero, Jongno-gu, Seoul.

Slacklining is an extreme sport in which participants walk or perform various tricks while maintaining their balance on a tightly stretched webbing line measuring about 2.5 to 5 cm in width between two points.

This marks the first time a slacklining event has been held in a downtown area in South Korea.

The section challenged by world-renowned slackline athlete Jaan Roose today was between the Koreana Hotel and the DongA Media Center.

The line was installed at a height of 120 meters above the ground with a one-way length of 160 meters, and Roose set out to cross the round-trip distance of 320 meters while wearing safety equipment.
