Gibbon Slacklines - Flowline Kit 1" Flat - 60-Feet

I ordered this slackline because i like the idea of a slackine with a softer feel and some bounce. i got it, set it up and i though everything was okay but then noticed that when the line was tight it would bunch up a little and fold slightly. (one edge would curve down and the other would lip upwards) then on the bottom there was part of the line popping outwards due to not being pulled with equal tension. Its difficult to explain but long story short, it wasnt laying flat like in the videos i watched. So i walking on a 4/5 inch slackline instead of one inch. I'm an intermediate slackliner, so i can bounce across it, do some drop knee poses, ect but this the first slackline that i owned myself so i thought that it was just what the tubeline naturally did. Luckily i was smart enough to email them to make sure, and i found out that i had one of the defected ones. I dont know how common this is, but it sucks because i live in Nairobi Kenya. Whats good is that Gibbon was very good about the whole thing and they almost immediately send a flowline kit to replace it. I switched to the flowline because there is no chance of receiving a defective one. So if you are new to slacklining and your Tubeset does this. It is defective and Gibbon will switch it out for you! Also, that rubber stuff that was on it came off really quick, but that may just be because of how mine was folding.

This product I'm sure is fine. I received a defective one where the width-wise ends of the line curl in but the seller was really helped and directed me on how to return it. I used it for a day before I called and asked if it was defective or not and from what I used it was good...

So when i got the product, the line itself was defective so i can't really give a review of the tubeline kit. I called gibbon slacklines and told them about the problem i had. They told me that the problem happens only with the tubeline so they sent me a new flowline kit and did't ask for the tubeline back. The flowline works perfectly and i would recommend getting it instead of the tubeline. Also you'l save another 10 bucks.

Great slackline. Feels good on the feet. Onlything is that the yellow paint on the line is really wearing off and tends to make the line get stuck in the ratchet. The ratchet loops are also pretty small... Wish they were larger so they could wrap around larger trees.

Difficult to get enough tension on the line with the dual ratchet set up. Almost impossible to set up for 60 feet distance line stretches down to the ground unless you set it 3-4 feet off the ground higher than the recommended height. The 2 inch slack lines are much easier to get enough tension.

I didn't like it! it isn't for me! i couldn't get the right tension in the line to walk in how i expected because of the two ratchets! and i forget to see that this line just have 1INCH, it hurts when you try to do something in it because the line is so thin and doesn't have much tension in the line.

I am a beginner I wish I would have bought a 2in one instead. This one is great just a bit harder. I weigh 270 lbs of pure muscle and it holds fine.

There are discrepancies as to the listing; This item is listed as a tubeline, pictured as a tubeline, and delivered as a FLOWLNE; it seems whoever listed it doesn't know that there is a difference between the two and uses the terms interchangeably (A few of the URLs use flowline, when you review your order (after you've already purchased) it will say flowline, but the search and initial carted item show pictures of and use the description of tubeline).To clarify; you will receive a FLOWLINE SLACKLINE (not a tubeline).http://www.amazon.com/Gibbon-Slacklines-tubeline-Flat-60-Feet/dp/B005LAYENS/ref=sr_1_11?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1401320616&sr=1-11
