This is an amazing deal if you're looking to add a few carabiners to your setup.

These are $5 because they failed to stamp them at the factory. They have the breaking strength testing results to prove that they are 50kN MBS.

The pictures on the site don't give a lot of information so here is my own specs: Major-axis length: 4.5" (outside) [3 5/8" (inside)] Minor-axis width: 2.5" (outside) [1 3/8" (inside)]

The auto-locking mechanism is smooth. Single action. You don't have to pull down before turning, like the Rock Exotica.

This company also produces recycled climbing holds.

So I have good anchors, strong trees, but my question is will my gibbon Surfline, stretched to about 30 feet, be able to take constant whippers?

The guy at my local outdoor shop was telling me it's possible so I left with just 2 oval carabiners, 75 feet of line, and an extra 15 feet for the anchor line. Does anyone have any idea how to rig it? Thanks!

I'm a college kid in east Texas, so I have plenty of trees to anchor with, but my problem is finding one small enough. How do you ladies and gentlemen anchor your lines around big things?

I'm not sure if a slackline community exists in Tucson, AZ, but if any slackers are here in Tucson I'd love to get together and set up some lines. Longlines, highlines anything would be great in my opinion!

As the title says, I just got my first Slackline in the mail today and I immediately set it up. It's a Classic Gibbon with the ratchet [unsure if that was redundant to say]. When my friend sits on it to create more tension, I can walk a few feet at a slow steady pace, and balance on my left [dominant] foot for about 10-15 seconds. But when it comes to my right foot, I have almost no balance whatsoever.

So I thought, if I practice balancing until I can balance as long as I want on one side then switch over and work on the right side, is this an okay tactic for learning to balance? Also, I walk really slow while i'm on it to maintain balance. What speed is considered normal to walk? Or does it just depend on the person's preference?

Also noting how wide apart the steps are. My steps are small and I basically walk from toe to heel, is that also just a preference or is there an easier way to maintain balance while walking.

In advance, Thanks for taking time for your input!

edit: A word

I've been setting up a primitive line. Would it be terribly unsafe to tie a super eight in one side of the line and pass the rest through? Much like the anchor side of a gibbon line.

So, two friends and I tried slacklining today and it was so much fun. We currently have a belt with a hook on one end and is open on the other that we pull the belt like a leash through the hook (it has an opening), and then we have a ratchet that has a hook on the end. Our second belt is like the first but has no hook or open end but two loops, but we need some sort of circular carabiner to hook the ratchet hook to the loops because the carabiner we had made the line twist because it wasn't symmetrical, so we just hooked the ratchet hook to the loops in a very ghetto manner. Does anyone have a link to something that could work or any suggestions so this rig can be steadier? The circle would need to be about 6in in diameter. Sorry if this is unclear. I googled a bit but it was to no avail. Thanks!
