Estonian slackliner builds his own training ground
Slackliner builds his own training ground
Location: Laadi, Estonia
Jaan Roose had always wanted to construct
his own slackline facilities
but never had the opportunity
(SOUNDBITE) (English) SLACKLINE ATHLETE, JAAN ROOSE, SAYING:"I have a lot of time because I lost all my jobs, like all my shows. I do slackline performances usually and those take a lot of time for me. So now it feels like finally I can train, build and I can prepare myself for the future."
Since lockdown began
Roose has built seven slacklines
of different heights and lengths
So he can now train without leaving his home
(SOUNDBITE) (English) SLACKLINE ATHLETE, JAAN ROOSE, SAYING:"Actually, I like it. Actually, I like it that I don't have to work and that I can just be a kid in the forest."
