The misconceptions surrounding Highlining

Alongside veteran highliners Arthur Pera and Kat Horton, we go behind-the-scenes to explore the equipment, techniques, and community spirit that go into training for, setting up and walking a highline safety.

For some, highlining may look like an outdoor adrenaline rush but for the community the sport is all about the authentic experience of "forced meditation" and focus.

Witness the sheer focus, balance, and determination that are the essence of this exhilarating sport.
