Should I get the jib or the classic? Is there that much of a difference?

I have the jib, but haven't used the classic so I can't really compare.

But I do really enjoy the jib line, its unbelievably fun!

i have a 15 and i always wish i had the 25. longer lines are way way more fun especially when you get to the point where you can walk back and forth on your short line without any struggle. shorter lines are easier for learning tricks but it's nice to have the extra length when you want to set up an adventure line

Damn I'm too late. Personally I hate the "slacklines", their really stiff and just don't flow very well. The old school classic ones are way more fun in the end. Their much harder to learn on, but have a lot more flow on them in the end. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MdDzz5H2VQA

Get the 25. Its better to have extra length than not have enough when you're trying to set it up

25 classic. 15 is too short. You can use a 25 almost anywhere (even small places) and it gives you more room to make the line longer as you improve.

go with the 25 classic. but personally i like the the thinner slacklines (1 inch) and they only sell those by the foot and you need to rig the line yourself. This comes out to be cheaper but the line won;t be bouncy and stuff unless you go with a model Gibbon makes, but those are stupid expensive...

this. i have a 2 incher, but my friend has the 1 incher. i love my jibline (2 inch) for tricks and jumps and stuff, but the 1 incher is far superior in having fun with balancing and it's a lot more wobbly, which is so much more fun.


also, slacklining is a lot of fun barefoot until you hyperextend your big toe. so if you're doing tricks, definitely wear shoes, i have to wear shoes now or my toe dislocates because i was a retard and went barefoot doing tricks.
