You gotta see this....our point of view video of the Canyon Swing!

So here is OUR gopro video of  the Canyon Swing we did in New Zealand (see previous post for the video we got from the Canyon Swing place). Every time I watch this, my stomach gets queasy. You can hear the guy say, 'Do you want a countdown, or do you want me to just pull it?". The words were barely out of our mouth before he dropped us 200 feet!

Canyon Swing!!

So here it is....The link to video of Helmut and Margarite conquering the Canyon Swing!

 The good part starts at about 2:00.

 After being dangled 357 feet above the Shotover River Canyon, we dropped 200 ft and fell 90 miles an hour in a freefall, then swung a total of 656 ft. It was terrifying!


It cost us $219 NZ each and if you're REALLY bold, you can go again for $45.

Here is an description from their website:

"This is an intense, undie staining, adrenaline stimulation activity achieved by launching yourself from the world’s highest cliff, 109m over the famous Shotover River.  Our uniquely designed system allows you to swing 200m with a 60m vertical freefall down a steep rocky cliff face.  Throw our amazing staff into the mix and you’ve got the experience of a lifetime."

 Helmut was wearing a Chesty gopro and we have that video somewhere, but we have yet to find it.
Tell us what you think, would YOU do it?
