The Original Gibbon line, the Classic, is perfect for the diverse or beginner slackliner. Thicker webbing and two lengths make this the best line for any location or skill level. It can even be used as a portable rail for skis, snowboards and skateboards.

Slacklining has been around since the 1970's when climbers in Yosemite cured rainy day boredom by balancing along the chains in the parking lot. This led to climbing webbing being rigged to walk along and has grown into a cross training activity and sport of it's own. Two-inch slacklining is great for beginners or for tricklining as the line gets much tighter with a ratchet system. Thicker, wider webbing allows beginners to learn with a greater surface area and less movement. Gibbon's trampoline-style webbing in the jib and surfline is ideal for tricks and jumps, and has led to a completely new style of slacklining referred to as tricklining. Two inch can be used for static poses and walking, but also allows for aerial moves to be incorporated. All of Gibbon's 2-inch series come as complete kits with ratchet for easy set up.



Thicker, wider webbing allows beginners to learn with a greater surface area and less movement.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great slackline setup for beginners and experts..., June 7, 2009

(REAL NAME)   
Gibbon makes great slacklines. My friend has the 15 meter line and I have the 25 meter. They are both bulletproof setups. I also own a traditional 1" slackline setup from slackline express. 2" lines have a slightly different feel than the 1" lines. Some people think they are easier, some people think they are harder, but I think they are probably safer for doing tricks. I would say the Gibbon lines are about the easiest to set up of any kits I've seen. The traditional slackline setup with just line and carabiners (what the first rock climbers used and many 'purists' still do) may be cheaper, but it takes a lot longer to set up. Also, with the traditional setups, you can't make them more than about 25 feet long unless you have 2-3 people to help you pull the line tight. With these Gibbon lines, you can set up an 80 foot line alone! The gibbon slacklines are the best kits I've seen. I broke my slackline express setup, but the gibbon is still going strong. If you're in San Diego, get on... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars This will be used for many years, August 17, 2009
I didn't really know what to expect with this slack line but after reading the reviews I decided to buy it ~ what a great decision. We have had a great time with this item. It never ceases to amaze me how many people want to give it a try ~ and you will never know who will be good at it (naturally) and who will be lousy on it ( like me )

Some people will hop up on it and take to it naturally, others will look like they could never walk across dry ground without falling on their faces. I shot video for about 20 minutes on vacation with various people using the slack line and it was the funniest part of our vacation.

Installation is quick & easy. Simply follow the clear directions and it will be up and going in a few minutes. Tear down is just as easy

Start with the line very low to the ground and very tight ~ it will be easier for you.

We will use this Gibbon line for years to come

5.0 out of 5 stars Soooooo much fun!, February 12, 2009
By 
Pikina (Caracas, Venezuela) - See all my reviews
A friend took one of these to a field trip to "keep the kids distracted" ha! We set it up between two trees and later found that we could set it up over the swimming pool. It was sooo much fun. The kids did love it. But we "grown ups" had a great time with it too. It was funny that so many people approached us and ended up giving it a try. Since then I got one and have it semi-permanently set up in the common area of our building (in doors). My kids friends love to come over to give it a try & I love the fact that when the weather doesn't allow going outside, they are at least doing something active (vs watching TV!). What I didn't expect is that I would get hooked too. Its great exercise for strengthening the lower back muscles & simply to concentrate on something different as a distraction, a break. On weekends we typically bring it along when we're going someplace outdoorsy.
