Trailblaze - 60 Feet Slackline, Kids to Adults Slackline Kit, Beginners Slackline Set with Ratchet Cover, Tree Protector, Carry Bag, Gift Box, and Instruction Manual

Slackliners aren't something we've done before. We have a variety of slacklines from various manufacturers to teach beginners the fundamentals of slacklining. br>br>We had high hopes for this slackline, but it's noticeably lower quality than Gibbon or Barefoot, and it can only be properly tensioned if used at a very short distance (which defeats the purpose of a 57' line). br>br>In comparison to other brands, the ratchet is of poor quality and frequently fails to maintain tension, even when properly locked. br>br>Because the webbing is more stretchy than other brands, tensioning it properly with the cheap rachet is even more difficult. br>br>We were able to get much better results with a regular automotive tow strap and ratchet than we did with this kit. The included ratchet is very flimsy and poor quality when compared to every other slackline brand we have used, and even when compared to standard automotive straps and ratchets. br>br>If someone had never slacklined before, it might seem like it was okay quality, but it is extremely flimsy and poor quality when compared to every other slackline brand we have used and even when compared to standard automotive straps It's much more difficult to achieve and maintain proper tension, especially for beginners learning slacklining, when this is combined with lower-quality webbing. Having a properly tensioned line (which is dependent on the ratchet quality) makes the difference between learning quickly and easily and learning slowly and painfully, in our experience. br>br>We believe that paying a little more for a well-made product is preferable. This is a well-known brand that uses a high-quality ratchet, which is ideal for beginners. Our favorite slackline brand is Gibbon (and the included instructional videos are the best method we've seen for quickly learning slacklining without an overhead cheat line), and Barefoot is a good budget option.

br>br>About three years ago, I slacklined with a friend and had a great time. I had considered getting one for years. "Too expensive for something I'll probably abandon due to nerves," I reasoned. "br>br>Well, friends, this slackline and I have been through quite a bit over the last two months. I'm proud to say that I took the risk and am glad I did because of the lower price of this line. If you're thinking about starting a business but aren't sure, this is a good place to start. It's an excellent start. Overall, the metal is a little flimsy. br>br> I made use of this 2- Three times a week, and the metal is beginning to show signs of wear. The rachet's gears are starting to lose their sharpness. That may be a beginner's mistake, I admit. br>br>Unfortunately, tree guardians are ineffective. According to the internet, you'll need trees that are much wider than these guards provide; I've switched to an A frame setup, so I don't need them, but it's something to keep in mind.

  We camped on dispersed land on a recent weekend trip to the outskirts of Sequoia National Park; it was over 100 degrees, mind you, and setting up camp on dry, sandy land was not something I was looking forward to. It was also quite frustrating to have to keep an eye on the kids while unloading and setting up in the heat, so the first thing I did was set up this slackline between two solid trees (with the protector on, of course). One side was set up at about 6', while the other was set up at about 4'. 5 feet. Keeping an eye on the company's How-to videos This video (along with others I found on YouTube) was extremely beneficial. Next, I attached a Ninja obstacle course kit, which included a Yamiprobi Ninja Slider designed for 3" slacklines, and transformed it into a zipline for kids! The slackline itself is 3" wide, so the kids had a BLAST for hours and we had to constantly remind them to drink water. Adults (ranging in age from 110 to 150) were also present. 190lbs) tried the zipline, and despite the fact that the slackline sagged a few inches more, we were able to ride it just fine. br>br>Overall, we were pleased with the zipline concept. It was extremely helpful in keeping the kids occupied while the adults set up camp, cooked, and cleaned up in the oppressive heat.

This is something I bought for myself and my son. We were using it for the first time, and it was fairly simple to set up and use. Because I was only about 3 feet tall, I simply added a 6 foot tow strap, which worked perfectly. We're new to this, so I set it up about a foot and a half off the ground and we take turns starting at each end and walking to the middle. It's a lot of fun, and it's easy to set up and take down. I would suggest using a folded towel or a hard foam wrap to wrap around the ratchet.

My mom read the instruction manual that came with the zen monkey slackline before jumping on. (Trail Blaze does not come with an instruction or safety manual. ) The safety instructions stated that you should not use the slackline if it is frayed in any way. My trailblazer slackline, on the other hand, was frayed right out of the box. I'm disappointed because I had a fantastic weekend planned with everyone slacklining together, and I really needed two slacklines. The zen monkey slackline was perfect, with no frays and top-of-the-line quality. They seem to be very concerned about the quality of their products. Unfortunately, after I bought one, they were all sold out. Trail blaze slacklines, on the other hand, are a different story. It appears to have originated in China, which it most certainly did. If Trailblaze sends me a new slackline that is fray-free, I will update this review because it demonstrates that they are concerned about quality control. If not, I'm going to downgrade this review from two to one star.
