That actually looks kinda fun. I bet the feeling of speed would be incredible.

How fast does it look like you're going when you're in a plane looking out of the window??

the zip line's not that high dude. chill. the top speed is only 100 mph and i'm guessing that's the speed when you reach the other end.

the camera only captures that many fps..

(fps= frames per second)

just a shitty video quality..

funny how most of the people in the vid were NZ or AU and some zip line in the us is the fastest...i highly doubt that.

law suits and whatnot almost guarantee that it is not. and Zeelands and AUs are wayyy more interested in this stuff that we could ever be.

Extreme! Without eating!!

not the US|

Maybe but Jarv's point seems more likely.

you need to chill too.

camera is not the issue. the height is. besides, the max speed of the zip line which is mentioned in the video is not that much. so i'm basing my argument in numbers.

next time ill ask the guy to bring some rocket launchers with him.

lets see how fast he will go then.

In that case, the frame capture rate of the camera will be an issue

just have to witness it for yourself then.

at least its not one of those fn controlled falls. those are rubbish.

lets fall, but not free fall, but pretty far, but its extreme right?

no, not slightly|

only when 3 tiesto tour busses pass by if your zipping at 100mph and crash into one of those. then its extreme.
