Subject: BS: Zip line From: GUEST,Olddude Date: 15 Jul 15 - 10:27 PM Went off on the zip lines with my daughters over some awesome canyons. After heart surgery it's kind of tough on the chest wall but worth it. I tell you, it's the most fun you can have with out being arrested Lol. Way cool |
Subject: RE: BS: Zip line From: Rapparee Date: 15 Jul 15 - 10:31 PM Do they give you a parachute just in case? It can be a long, long way down! |
Subject: RE: BS: Zip line From: GUEST,HiLo Date: 16 Jul 15 - 03:02 AM Oh I wish I had the courage for that ! Sounds like a great thrill. |
Subject: RE: BS: Zip line From: Leadfingers Date: 16 Jul 15 - 05:25 AM What are "Zip Lines" ? Not something I am familiar with in UK ! |
Subject: RE: BS: Zip line From: GUEST,Ian Date: 16 Jul 15 - 05:27 AM I'd love to but don't think I dare. Well done! |
Subject: RE: BS: Zip line From: GUEST Date: 16 Jul 15 - 05:59 AM What are "Zip Lines" ? Do you not know what search engines are, Terry? They help you find things out. Mine pointed toward Wikipedia, where I found this: Zip Line |
Subject: RE: BS: Zip line From: GUEST,# Date: 16 Jul 15 - 09:18 AM Terry, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QsCqD799-ps I don't doubt she'd have made it to the landing had she closed her mouth. Wind resistance is real. |
Subject: RE: BS: Zip line From: GUEST,Olddude Date: 16 Jul 15 - 09:37 AM That was way too much fun. Loved it. Only issue is hitting the tree branches with my butt |

Subject: RE: BS: Zip line From: GUEST,Olddude Date: 16 Jul 15 - 01:07 PM Water slide now with grandson.. Later going to jump out of an airplane again. Throw the meds away, fire the damn doctors and live. Have a beer, have a smoke, get laid, but live. Sitting on a couch is not living, drive fast if you want, jump out a plane if you want but live. My opinion |
Subject: RE: BS: Zip line From: Rapparee Date: 16 Jul 15 - 01:47 PM Do it! You might not have another chance. |

Subject: RE: BS: Zip line From: GUEST,Musket musing Date: 16 Jul 15 - 04:47 PM When I went zip trekking between two mountains in Canada, the thrill of the zip trek was put into perspective when we were walking back to the minibus and a bear was sat in the path blocking our way... (Anti climax. He sat and posed whilst we got our cameras out then waddled off into the woods, presumably for a shit. ) We all know what zips are in The Uk. Or at least, we dirty rotten stinking capitalists amongst us do. |
Subject: RE: BS: Zip line From: GUEST,Olddude Date: 16 Jul 15 - 09:50 PM It is one heck of a lot of fun, but jumping out of a plane is the rush. I am going to invest in my own equipment. |
