The truth is that the answer will, mostly, denpend on you, what do you imagine yourself doing on a slackline and you goal. Each model and good and bad things. We will try to explain wich and, in this article, help you to get an answer to the question: How to choose a slackline.
When you have no clue it may appear that a 5 cm slackline is easier and more appropriate for initiation than a 2. The truth is that the difference is practically none. The difficulty you will feel will be more related to the length of the slackline and the tension with which it is assembled.
Most tricklines are 5cm wide and these lines, because of their wider surface, are friendlier to your body, making the learning tricks process less painful.
If you opt for a more complete kit with slings and schakles, you can use your initiation line to start trickling. And for those who want to move in the direction of longline and highline, starting with a 2. In addition, a 2. There are also intermediate widths, in the 3 centimeters, in slacklines such as the Wingline and Minimum.
First of all, it is necessary to understand that any slackline can be mounted as initialization slackline, since what defines a slackline of initiation is length and difficulty.
In other words, you can mount a slackline with 5 meters, whether your slackline is 12, 15, 25 or 30 meters long. In this regard, you should base your choice on the motivation you have to make slackline. This is because the evolution is quite fast, it is common for a beginner to overcome a meter slackline in a few weeks. When this happens you will want a bigger challenge and if your slackline is 15 meters, you will have no choice but to invest in a longer one.
If you think you will use the slackline very sporadically and you do not know if you will even like the sport, the ideal is to minimize the investment and bet on a shorter and cheaper slackline. Just remember that some longer or more complete slacklines, at least 15 meters and 5cm, can be used to start trickling at an early stage.
Slacklines like Addict , a Surfline , a Experience ou a Allround are good examples. Any beginner slackline involves a tensioning system.
