Exclusive: Check your fear of heights at the door for this one. Discovery+ has set a June 5 premiere date for Pushing the Line, a docuseries about the not-for-everyone sport of highlining. Jersey Shore’s SallyAnn Salsano is executive producing via her 495 Productions. Watch a clip above.
For the uninitiated, highlining is a subset of slacklining that involves the counterintuitive act of walking on a line hundreds of feet above the ground on a 1-inch rope that’s thinner than your belt. It takes athleticism, balance and stamina to walk a long line — but it takes mental toughness even to attempt it.
The series follows some of the top highliners and the up-and-comers of the sport, who live together and push one another to take on the craziest places to set lines and break records. Pushing the Line looks at what motivates these fear-be-damned athletes to risk it all every day.
