This thing is super addicting. You have been warned. Easy to set up, but make sure to use a towel around trees so you don't tear up your line.

This is a great outdoor activity that can be transported anywhere and set up within minutes. I originally purchased this item to keep in the car incase I ever found myself waiting on someone or something. Although I purchased it to kill time, I find that I use it at home even more. Slacklining is great for building your core muscles, increasing balance, and getting you outside away from the TV. My only complaint with this item would be the ratchet. I have noticed that the ratchet has caused the webbing to fray in several areas, so I had to take it apart and sand it down. Other than that, this line is fantastic!
Way too much fun!

Easy to set up and fun to use! Definitely a nice thing to have if you want to slack line by yourself. Having the ratchet makes it super adjustable.
Much better than expected

I recieved this as a gift and feigned excitement. What do I need a Gibbon line for? I've alerady got my 1" webbing and carabiner rig and it works just fine. I'll tell you why: when you want to slackline by yourself and/or dont have 4 buddies around to help you pull the line tight with the carabiner set up. This line goes up in seconds and you are able to get it the perfect tension with minimal effort. I thought it'd be stupid easy being so wide, but it doesnt make any difference on the difficulty of use. All in all, its a great line. Way easier/faster/better than the old way of three carabiners and 1" tubular webbing.

I have really enjoyed this product and so have my niece and nephews. We use it constantly and they sometimes leave it outdoors through rain for a few days. It is holding up great despite the abuse!
Beware!

If you purchase this item you will no longer do anything but slackline. Maybe. It depends on how devoted you are, I guess. Anyway, this slackline is super easy to set up and take down. Great for camping, backyard shinanigans, etc.
Picking up the Slack

Great line. There are a lot of slacklines on the market, but none touch the quality and service that you get from Gibbon. I have this and their jib line and they are great. Easy to setup, easy to take down. When set up in a park or a public place expect people to stop and ask what you are doing, but that is half the fun of it. Lots of fun set up over a pool or across a stream. Builds core, balance, and is just a blast, everyone should slackline.
Easy Setup

This slackline has such an easy setup, making it easy to take on car camping trips and set it up for a couple hours to play on.
Bunch of Slackers!

Does this slackline have any UV protection?...

Does this slackline have any UV protection? Will leaving it set up in my backyard in the AZ sun destroy it?
James Jenden
Member since
It's just nylon, so it will degrade in the sun overtime. More importantly, because you're stretching it to get it taut, if you leave it up, you'll break down the nylon a lot faster. If you leave it set up in your yard all the time, it'll break down more quickly from sun and stretch. That said, it'll still last awhile, so it's not the end of the world to leave it set up.
Great summer fun!

I just picked myself up one of these badboys and love it! It is super easy to set up and wide enough to be a good starter line for anyone. I'm out there all the time with friends learning how to walk on this thing!

This is the 2012 inventory, we have 2010 photos up. Apologies for the confusion.

We've had this in the backyard for sometime now, and it's a lot of fun, especially with a group of friends. Who would've ever thought what a riot it could be to take turns struggling to walk across this only a foot off of the ground. It is a surprisingly good core workout when you start to get good at it.
Great Line!

Not like the old school webbing lines! Easy to set up and wider than webbing. The only reason I don't like it is that it doesn't flex as much as webbing. Overall a great deal!

My 20 year old son who does Parkour has put a slackline on his christmas list. I know nothing about this sport -- can someone recommend which product would be the best fit for a 20 year old who will be quite aggressive in its use
Kyle Wall
Member since
Slacklining is basically tight rope walking on a flat nylon ribbon that is strung between two points. If he is into parkour and wants to start "tricking" or bouncing off the line doing fun things, he may want to get the gibbons Jibline. It has more bounce in it and favors that style.
http://www.backcountry.com/gibbon-slacklines-jibline-15m-49ft-slackline
A traditional version still great but less bouncy would be the Gibbons classic.
http://www.backcountry.com/gibbon-slacklines-classic-slackline?rr=t&cmp_id=&rrType=ClickEV&rrProd=GIB0001
Basically the difference is that the Jibline (first option) is 5mm wider and has more bounce to it for the tricks.
Below is a link to a video of some pretty darn impressive tricking on a slackline.

I got this for our teenaged son; once this was up in the back yard, our house became THE place to hang out -- the kids love it, and it goes anywhere they do.
