SLACKLINING: Andy Lewis' performance during Super Bowl halftime brings attention to sport

GREENBRAE, Calif. -- Most of America still may not know what slacklining is, but the millions watching Madonna perform during halftime at the Super Bowl saw the increasingly popular sport in action, thanks to Andy Lewis.

Lewis performed acrobatic tricks and danced on the low, trampoline-like line during Madonna's show. The line was strung between two posts in front of the stage, where at one point Lewis received a kiss on the cheek from the pop star.

"It was pretty good," Lewis said of the experience. "I definitely loved the chance to go and work with her."
