Demographics Survey – The latest, largest and most comprehensive slackline study ever!<\/h1><\/h1><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>

It’s time again for the Demographics Survey, about 5 years after the results of the last one came out.<\/h3>\n

By spending a bit your time you’re contributing to our community.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The survey aims to gather some socio-scientific information about the global slacklining community, e.g. the demographics, skills and motivation of slackliners and compare it to a similar study from 2013 and data collected by the ISA in 2016, 2018 and 2021.<\/p>\n

This is important, because it helps us talk to land managers, insurance companies, partners, and other organizations about slacklining.<\/p>\n

It should take between 20-45 minutes of your time (if you encounter questions which don’t apply to you feel free to skip them).<\/p>\n

The survey is AWESOME. Please motivate your friends to take this survey and share it on your social media profiles.<\/p>\n

Only with such data we can understand the slackline community and act in its interest!<\/strong><\/p>\n

The results will be published in 2027. All data (anonymized) will be accessible for non-commercial slackline-related research.<\/p>\n<\/div>

History of Demographic Surveys<\/h3>\n<\/div>

Back in 2013, a survey by J\u00fcrgen R\u00f6hm<\/a> aimed to gather socio-scientific information about the global slacklining community, e.g. the demographics, skills and motivation of slackliners.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div>

After that, the International Slackline Association added more questions to this survey in 2016. And to begin collecting data at regular intervals we gathered updated information through a follow-up survey in 2018<\/a> and in 2021. Some of these results from the previous surveys are shown below.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Here are some extracted figures from the data gathered in 2016. So much has changed since!<\/h6>\n
