        Comments about Gibbon Classic Slackline Kit - 15 meters:

        This slackline is so easy to set up. The 2" is VERY easy on the feet. Does not cut your circulation or hurt. I can set it between any two trees or posts in 2 minutes and take it off in one. Because of the rachet you can set it up as long (and hard) as you want, or short and easy.

          Comments about Gibbon Classic Slackline Kit - 15 meters:

          This is a great first line for anyone looking into slacklining. Set-up is a breeze, one person can do it in a few minutes. The only reason I gave this 4-stars instead of five is that in the process of making it super easy to set-up, it can be hard to get it to lie completely flat. It is not a big deal, and I would definitely buy the line again, but it just takes a jerk every now and then to straighten it out.

          Just a note on the difference between 1" and 2" lines, they behave differently, and while one is not necessarily easier than the other it takes a little while to get used to either one. The reason the 2" line is better for beginners is that it is much harder to accidentally slip off the line and nut yourself. The 1" line also flexes a whole lot more than the standard 2" Gibbon (I think this is why gibbon make there extra stretch 2" line), and therefore there are a lot of tricks that you can't do on a standard 2" gibbon.

          Overall, this is the perfect beginner line, no special knots or extra parts to loose. I highly recommend this to anyone who want to learn how to slackline.

          Don't forget to use tree protection (i.e. old door mats, carpet ext.) to protect your trees.

          Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

            Comments about Gibbon Classic Slackline Kit - 15 meters:

            Very easy to set up and use. Tensioning is straightforward and sufficient. I bought this product to start slacklining. I like the wider webbing. It makes it easier to get going on the balancing. One odd thing - the Gibbon name is printed repeatedly the full length of one side of the webbing and it readily comes off onto your hands (or bare feet) when handling it. Luckily it is water soluble and rinses off. I hosed off the webbing to get the excess ink off. Otherwise great beginner slack line.

            Comments about Gibbon Classic Slackline Kit - 15 meters:

            This works, but it is way overpriced. It is no different than a 2 inch tie-down strap, which can be purchased at a hardware store[$].

            Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
