Hello everyone!
Damian, a customer from Australia, ordered a handful of gear from us a little over a month ago. He put some thick tree posts into the ground, installed the zip line, and snapped some awesome pictures during the process.
End result; an awesome 410′ zip line going over a small valley. Click on the picture below to read more specs on the zip line.
If you want to share your zip line adventures with us and with others through our blog, please don’t hesitate to email us at info@ziplinegear.com or call us at 1.888.476.3701.
Blessings!
Hello All!
Darren, a customer from Minnesotta, ordered a 400′ Quicksilver kit from us several weeks ago and asked us if he could send us a video of his zip line. We told him we’d love to review his video and post it. He got back to us recently with the completed video and it looks great! It’s very exciting to see the adventures our customers are having with our products.
Thanks for the awesome video, Darren!
Just a reminder to all zip line fanatics out there, we’d love to hear from you and share your awesome zip line videos on our YouTube Channel!
Blessings!

We have some really awesome customers! The Clemmey family recently purchased a Viper Deluxe kit from us, and they were kind enough to send us some pictures of their project.
“When my twins (Ben & Abbey) asked for a Zip Line for their 10th Birthday, I thought they were crazy! They tried zip lining at a local adventure park and have been hooked ever since. My husband and I started doing some research and came across your website. Before we knew it, we placed an order for a kit complete with the 150 ‘ of cable, pulley, wood seat and breaking system. My husband (George) built a platform up in a tree with a ladder starting from the base of our playscape…that was the hardest part of the project. He then installed the zip line components in no time at all.
We had about 15 kids over the house for a birthday party. The kids “zipped” for four hours straight. Many of the parents couldn’t resist and had to try it themselves. The parents were saying that the kids will be talking about this party until they graduate in 8th grade! Some of the kids were hiding when their parents came to pick them up because they didn’t want to go home.
Thank you! My kids said this is the best birthday present ever!”
We had fun this week! The Ziplinegear.com team went outdoors to enjoy some of the beautiful spring weather we’re having, and ran a series of speed tests on our pulley lineup. We set up a 300′ zip line out in front of our warehouse and sent a 175lb reel of cable down the line about 50 times, timing how fast the different pulleys could carry it. We’ll be using this information to find the friction coefficients of each pulley and predict exactly how fast a specific pulley will come in at the end of a given zip line. Fun stuff!
