Reddit mentions of Gibbon Classic Slacklines

Slackline is not Tightrope, and as such the line is free to bounce and vibrate. A static line would have little to no bounce or stretch. It is hard to explain why you want stretch, but you do. If you longline you want just a wee bit of it, 2-7%, if you do tricklines you want a bunch. (if you do longline, 1inch is your line for you, if you prefer tricks, 2inches is usually the only way to go) Slackline is really what you make of it, I like to longline with tons of bounce and sway, others prefer super tight lines, others nearly no tension at all (see: rodeo line) It is really up to you to figure out what you like and to design a line around that. Here is a list of 1inch lines around the world http://slacklink.org/images/WebbingStats.png (see rageline) I would personally recommend a gibbon classic, 82ft of 2inch flat webbing with a ratchet handle. It is a fantastic learning line and super fast to set up. It is also on sale on amazon for $66 and free shipping. If I didnt already have 2, i would snag it.
