Go to your local climbing store and ask about it. If they don't have any for sale than they can at least give you some info on it. The line costs about $25 for a 25 foot line. you also need two beiners and some rope.

Read up on some of the past threads in this forum. There are other people who have asked the same question and a lot of great advice has been doled out from the best slackliners around....
Just surf around and see waht you learn. :) I guarantee you'll learn more that way than if I were to write some long monologue on it and how to set up a line.

Just as a side note. If you want to spend less $... I would recomend hitting up an Army/Navy store. They typically sell military spec 1" webbing much cheaper than the climbing store. I found it for $.12 a foot, vice $.22 accross the street at the climbing store. But hit up the climbing store for the biners....the Army/Navy dudes rip you off there!
Anyway, does anyone have any beef with the military webbing? I've been using it for a 30' line I have...it works just fine. I can bounce on it and it's holding up really well. Any reason not to use it?

If it's good enough for the 202nd Armored Slacklining Division then it's good enough for me. :lol:

I used ebay. Works great, and often has some good deals on new webbing. :)
