ANDREA AGOSTINI

Andrea is a professional slackliner and highliner born in Padova in 1992.

He discovered this sport of physical and mental balance in 2010 in the climbing gym where he was training and it immediately fascinated him, considering the balance research a really intense brain stimulus.

After a couple of years of selfteaching he moved to Verona for studying at Sport Science University where he started to move the slackline scene. Here the first contacts that let him know Spider Slacklines, the only one Italian slackline brand with which he signed a sponsorship contract in April 2014.

He discovered the purest form of this discipline in September 2014, Highlining, to which he fully dedicated his self after two years of tricklining and longlining. So the 10 February 2016 Spiazzi Highline Paradise was born from the idea of Andrea, Diego and Simon, one of the biggest highline spot in Italy and for sure the most popular. It’ s really thanks to Spiazzi and dedication and passion of everybody, with a special thanks to Slackline Bologna ASD, that the Italian highline community grown in members and synergy in the last year, creating a situation that you can hardly find in Europe and in the rest of the world. That situation fully showed itself at the first Bismantova Highline Meeting, an international success with more than 250 participants.

He started teaching slacklining at the gym in 2015, in Verona and in Padova. He participated at the Gazzetta dello Sport camps as slacklining instructor, and he did a lot of other initiatives and activities that provide teaching and direct contact with adults and kids trough slacklining.

Since 2014 he dedicated himself to slackline, trickline and highline shows and performances to support himself while studying,  aiming to the diffusion and development of this discipline in Italy.
