SukiSukiNow Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 I really want to do this and was wondering if anyone here has tried it. Tell me about your experiences and places in ca or nv you might recommend. A ZipRider Experience The Heavenly Flyer, a ZipRider experience, is located at Adventure Peak. Enjoy the Heavenly Gondola ride that will take you up to 9,156’. From there, you'll hop onto the Tamarack Express to get to the zip line take-off deck. This elevated zip line cable ride will take you on a high speed thrill ride from the top of Tamarack Express back to the top of the Gondola, a vertical drop of 525 feet. At 3,100 feet, the Heavenly Flyer is the longest ZipRider in the lower 48 U.S. states. The views are spectacular and zipping through the trees and over the Gondola will add perspective, making this an ultra-cool ride. I would fall off and die if I tried this Anyone wanna go??? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fist 666 Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 ziplines are awesome. i've done quite a few around the country. the last one i did started at 100m up and crossed over a valley between mountains, you end up being like 600 ft over the rocks. fucking scary and awesome. i'm going to do one with my wife in costa rica over the jungle this fall. she's less excited than i am Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
__ __ __ __ Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 ive done one at some forest near scotts valley (on the way the Santa Cruz). but it wasnt over a canyon. it was some course where u walk through trees about 2-3 stories up, then at the end is a zip line to the bottom.

Mercer Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 I wonder how much it would cost to set one of these up. I'm on the 6th floor and my train station is pretty close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CACashRefund Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 DO IT! Ive done zip lines in Mexico, if they're set up right they're awesome experiences, I've also seen some that are real short and not really scenic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwampFightOner Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Only "extreme" thing that ever interested me was para sailing, which I ended up not doing because my girl at the time was scared and I thought it'd be kind of gay to do alone. Maybe this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Live on the mountain, build the bear sanctuary in the spring, thus protecting hundreds of tourists from being eaten by grizzlies, as well as make the snow in the winter. The only reason the hill's open is due to our crew this year. It's totally my mountain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
