tilts his hip to several
directions.
Var1: tilts hips side to side
Var2: tilts hip back and forth
Var3: moves hips side to side,
while parallel to the ground
In addition to the upper-body and arms,
the hip is the most powerful tool to
balance on the slackline. A controlled
movement to the side, while horizontal
will improve the control over hips and
balance.
