			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Regarded as a pioneer of tightrope-balancing and <strong>slacklining</strong>, <strong>Heinz Zak</strong> has pent the last eight years traveling the world and searching for the perfect places to do what he does best.</p>
<p>Unlike other similar artists, the 51-year-old Austrian doesn&#8217;t do it for the adrenaline rush. For him this is a way of life, it&#8217;s simply what he does. He perceives it as a way of finding himself, by losing himself completely and thinking only about his next step.</p>
<p><strong>Heinz Zak</strong> first discovered <strong>slacklining</strong> back in the early 80s, during a trip to Yosemite National Park and, over the years, he got a lot better at it, succeding in setting a record in the longest slackline distance ever, 173 meters.</p>
