From the, it-seemed-like-a-good-idea department comes this: let’s go to Austin and ride the zipline. Your full weight supported by a set of straps attached to a pully-thingie called a “Sled” which, in turn, zips you along a thing cable strung through trees and about 50′ over the valley floor. With only your gloved hand to act as a brake on the cable, mean old Mr. Gravity takes charge and cranks up your airspeed. Never one to apply caution in such ventures, my brake glove never touched the wire. Sandie seems cut of the same cloth. She could be heard howling with delight with every flight. Come along and ride with us. Watch the video below and you can experience it first-hand via the DaddyMomCam mounted to our helmets.
Zippin’ above the hill country
