thanks buddy, i like it when people show some support... Smiley

I dont know how we are going to strap ourselves in. Thinking about using an old rucksack and then putting it on really tightly, then tying the rope to the hook on the top of it? :S

erm wel first the parts under my arms were kiling me because they were diging in. then i put more pading on and rode to far and went into a tree face first then bounced into the tree the rope was on and to stop me swingin into anything else put my arms up so i fell out the harnes thingy. then changed the location n the branch snaped wen i was about 10 foot in the air and i flew into aload of bushes then gypsies came so rode off  and then came back about 5 hours later n the rope was snaped with aload of blood on the floor so guessing one of them broke it and fel and hurt them selfs Grin

good day haha

dont use a rucksack it will snap under your weight

 i remeber trying to build a zip wire with a belt then a rucksack with some mates  however both snapped under the weight

 id use rope and padding as shown in the video or on youtube there is one guy using an old tyre and a pillow which looks easy to make
