Anybody else have a Gibbon line? or do you use regular webbing?
My old neighbor gave us a free Gibbon a couple weeks ago fo' free! Pretty stoked, working on honing my skills so i can take it out to public places and impress women.

im assuming its a 2 inch then? personally im not a big fan of their set ups just because their webbing has no stretch or personality to it, it's like slackin on a car tow rope or something. i dunno, its not a bad way to get started, but 1 inch set ups are waaaay more fun once you get used to them.

definitely get out there though man, such a great way to meet people.
