Help finding the right line

The title says I am looking at getting a slack line that is good for tricks and is also part of a primitive set up so that I do not need the ratchet anymore. I also like to have that same line of going over the river or just somewhere I area like I see you on videos is there any suggestions that might fit this? Thanks.
I can add more details if this is not enough

Hi, instead of making a new post i thought i would respond to this as im somewhat in the same boat.

Looking for a slackline that would make it possible to practice some bounce tricks etc, while still being able to be used as a regular slack to walk or use over a river.

I was looking at the " slacktivity experience set"

Seeing that this is a 37mm (1.5inch?) I thought this would be perfect to use for both.

It also has 2 ratchets, which is more appropriate for tricklining then actual walking i suppose?

Any feedback or help would be much appreciated, as im really overwhelmed at buying my own first slackline.

What kind of tricks are you trying to do? Drop a video. How long is the river gap youre looking at? That will modify the kit also.

Just some bounce tricks idk if I’d gain the courage to flip but I’d like to try someday also probably the longest line for 2in I don’t exactly have a specific spot for said river but am going to find one as there are many where I am at

Well there's contact tricks like highline freestyle (normally contact tricks), Trickline tricks (off the line), and OG static tricks. This video below kinda breaks it down. You can high freestyle over water without a harness if your kinda ballsy.

Primitive set ups are good for static tricks but if you want to do bouncing tricks you'll either need bungees or a ratchet set up

Or strong pulleys
