When we first started Balancing Earth we intended to be a primitive and longline supplier only. However, with an effort to reach a wider audience a simpler system seemed to address the needs of beginners and those daunted by carabiners and pulleys. The ratchet system was a perfect candidate as it requires minimal effort to achieve the desired tension.

This system uses what's known as the choker method. The sling on the ratchet wraps around the anchor and you feed the ratchet through the sewn loop. Thus choking the anchor. This is fine on a beginners line where you are using it to learn to walk, core exercises, ankle therapy or for kids play lines. However, a choker method reduces the strength and is not recommended for use in tricklines. Slacklining can be different for everyone. You may be a slackliner, longliner, trickliner, yoga slacker, or a highliner but being on the line is what matters.

The Trickster Pro Lite is geared more for aspiring trickliners rather than those using the ratchet system for cross training or yoga. The Trickster Pro Lite allows you to set up using the NO CHOKER Option. Chokers and knots greatly reduce the strength of your line. When doing dynamic tricks or aerial combos that strength is needed. Using our Purple Spansets and 7/16" Screw Pin Shackles you eliminate the choker by making a basket around the tree or anchor point. You can set this system up to 50 ft. giving an adequate length for beginner and intermediate alike.
