2019-12-18T13:58:38+01:00

Why create a Slackline World Ranking List? The International Slackline Association recognizes and supports numerous facets of slackline practice.

Each of these dimensions of slackline are part of the same global movement. Therefore, it is our aim to embrace and nurture each and every one of them. This goal has recently led us to create an international ranking list for slackline athletes. The [...]

ISA y la Copa Mundial de Slackline en Viña del Mar See below for English Cuando la ISA recibió una invitación para asistir a la copa mundial en Viña del Mar, Chile, estábamos intrigados.
