3 Super-Hero Accessories to Add to Your Zip Line

April 28th, 2011

Wouldn’t it be fun to have the powers of a super hero? Imagine being able to fly at a moment’s notice or crawl with the agility of a spider. Sounds thrilling!

However, we don’t need the powers of a super hero to experience the thrills of a super hero.

Here are 3 zip line accessories that will turn your ride into a super hero experience.

1. The TrueFlight Riding Kit

The first add-on you need to hook up is the TrueFlight Riding kit. If you’re a Superman fan, this add-on is for you! This set up allows you to dive head first straight down the line.

It comes with the Quicksilver Pulley which is equipped with dual ball-bearing wheels. It is capable of speeds up to 120 mph*. If you intend to go that fast, how about going at it head first?

Also included in the kit is a climbing waist harness, a chest harness, two lanyards, and several climbing carabiners.

If you prefer to fly down upright, the Trueflight Riding kit provides this option as well.

*Simply because the Quicksilver Pulley is capable of 120mph doesn’t mean it will always go that fast. Don’t worry, unless your zip line is ridiculously steep you won’t be going that fast.

2. The Dual Handlebar

Ever wondered what kind of perspective Spiderman had? With the dual handlebar, you can find out. The handles are positioned parallel with the zip line, making it easier to grip and ride upside down.

The guys who have tried this out absolutely love it. Much like bungee jumping, this upside-down zip line ride is quite a thrill.

Caution: This method of zip lining is inherently dangerous and life-threatening! Recommendations from ZipLineGear.com are strictly opinion and carry no guarantee of safety!

3. The Boa Bungee Brake

This add-on is essential for every zip line rider who is interested in safety. The Boa Bungee Brake provides a safe and gradual stop for your zip line.

A heavy duty bungee cord is anchored to the ground on one end and attached to a block on the zip line on the other end. When the rider encounters the block, the heavy duty bungee cord stretches until it overcomes the inertia of the rider, bringing the rider to a gradual stop.

Is it a stretch (pun intended) to say that you’ll experience Mr. Fantastic’s or Mrs. Incredible’s stretchability super-powers when you use this bungee brake? Maybe. *grin*

As with any great super hero, safety is key. This add-on will complete the super-hero thrill factor for your zip line.

The Turner’s New Zealand Flying Fox

December 29th, 2010

Hello Everyone,

Here is a review and video from Darryl, an awesome customer who is from New Zealand.

“We’d like to thank Ziplinegear.com for making our zipline experience fun and hassle free. The advice and guidance was invaluable in choosing the right kit for our situation and length of ride. Once we purchased a Quicksilver kit it arrived speedily and well packaged. All parts of the kit are of the highest quality which gave us peace of mind and made installation go smoothly. To have everything you need to erect your Zipline in one kit was very handy and, with the hand winch, saved us lots of time and energy. The kids and their friends love it. The whole project was a great family experience and very rewarding. Thanks Ziplinegear.com”

Kind Regards,

Darryl Turner

ZipLineGear.com has a new logo!

December 17th, 2010

Hey guys! We have a new logo!

We needed our logo to emphasize our website address and make it even clearer what we sell. (That’s why we added the little zip line rider and the ‘.com’)

Before:

Old ZipLineGear.com logo

And after:

ZipLineGear.com Logo

Pretty cool, huh?

Now we need to get this logo onto accessories such as sweaters, hats, pens, and bumper stickers. We’ll keep you posted on what happens next!
