The Slowest Extreme Sport Ever: Slacklining

It’s always interesting to see what benign activities cities and schools manage to ban kids from taking part in. “Extreme sports” like, um, skateboarding, parkour and Muggle Quidditch are the usual suspects for regulation from The Man. But the city of Salinas has gone ridiculously far in banning something called slacklining from its city parks.
