There is a similar thing, IDK the proper name, I guess ... loose rope walking? Where the rope is thicker, but has a really significant sag in it. The balancing style and walking technique is, apparently, very different.
I remember the first time I saw it, as a young teen at our local Ren Fair. It's very cool, and deserves more attention.

God damn that is so cool.
Slacklining which @enso mentioned never appealed to me, but DAMN this really does. I adore balancing exercises, I really wonder how much my figure skating training would help there.
I might look into trying this out later this year.
