Add some planks of wood where the beams are and we have a rad RC rally course.

my hands were sweating during 2:56

Looked like the guy had a climbing harness on and was wearing climbing shoes. That line that was traversing allows you to clip in and just pull your beaner along. I would totally walk that.

Reminds me of Prince of Persia or Assassins Creed though.

Berz out.

If you read the wiki page it says that the path is officially closed and that nobody knows the strength or that cable and there is no upkeep on it.

Also, when he walked past the two guys, I think they were "strapped" into the cable, but the way he got around them made it seem like he wasn't. Also, he seems too smooth the entire time to have been strapped it. I would love to see how he filmed that

7:00 and 7:50 do it for me

That being said, I would love to do that. Looks like it would most definitely give me a wicked rush.

Berzerker 06-20-2010 10:38 PM

^^ It did look smooth but he was also walking fairly slow so unclipping and reclipping a beaner would be fairly quick and easy. No upkeep is a bit sketchy but I'm sure people still test it and it's used with enough frequency that any severely unsafe parts are probably fixed by people that use. The fact he even encountered other people show's its probably more used than you would think. Maybe he had a helmet cam?

Berz out.

GabAlmighty 06-20-2010 10:50 PM

Yes, that's true. I also noticed that he was walking on the outside edge of the path almost the entire time.

And you are probably right, what i've come to think/see/believe is that rock climbers are usually pretty good about keeping up with the upkeep of their "runs".

I agree with the helmet came theory but some of the instances it looks he's sticking the camera/his head out over the edge. If I wasn't strapped in I wouldn't be doing that standing up, too easy to lose your balance.

Either way, I think we can agree the trail looks super badass :thumbsup:

BMW135i 06-21-2010 01:22 AM

I nearly shit my pant just watching this video on pc. Sweating like crazy already.

77civic1200 06-21-2010 06:48 AM

He was hand holding that camera for sure. He had the camera held to whichever side made it look the sketchiest. There are a number of times where the camera cuts corners over railings and such that show what I mean.

I wonder what that trail looked like when it was new, and how many people used it per day for its original purpose?

Greenstoner 06-21-2010 07:09 AM

Mugen EvOlutioN 06-21-2010 08:33 AM

Dan Osman Solo Speed Climbing. No ropes, and climbing as fast as you can.


check out 1:10

Now that is an adrenaline junkie sport. Unfortunately Dan Osman died, but not from climbing, but from a controlled free fall. :(
