I've wanted to get a classic sling like the ones he's using for a long time, just to test it out and see how hard it really is to get decent at slingin'. But I've never seen a good site where they sell them. And the few I have seen tend to use a leather pouch for the shot, which I don't want. Any idea where I might get one like the ones here?

I think this guy just made his own, judging by this other video: How to make a Balearic sling
unfortunately, with a lot of more obscure historical stuff (which slings really shouldn't be, given how important they have been historically, but alas), there isn't really a good solution for replicas other than "make your own" or "know someone who can make one"
hmmm, learning how to make a sling actually sounds like a fun project. i might have to check out that video.
