good for you you lot…don’t forget to take pictures…a series of them with different formats of presentation to be inclusive or sepperate cost…as done on emusement park rides….people like pictures..they are keepsakes…memories if you will…capturing that magical moment is a good side line for professional photographers with telephoto lenses…during the tall ships races any races really …you seek to capture the …well…all emotion is involuntary when genuine…

put two …to and from an island to shore….i was always partial to ski lifts…..could be placed pretty much anywhere as a tour facility around a townsgip like St. Georges or Somerset…or Di…er dockyard, Hamilton too but maybe they coul lease it out for three hundred years….or airport and they could lease it out for thirty years…i like universal studios or disney staff to run it….

Fantastic and overdue. Watch out for planning and regulations that can go on for years but hopefully not this time!

Great stuff. I would encourage these entrepreneurs to take a look down at Southside, not at the original beach, but take a walk past the gates and to the end. There are some massive poles in the ground that I assume were put there by the US Base personnel. They are at different elevations and spread very far apart and in a scenic part of the island. In my opinion a great place for a summertime zipline and rope course that can be added to in order to allow for an optional drop finish in the water..

This will be a success. This young man and his partner is what we need to create jobs .One must start somewhere and they have(WITH THEIR OTHER BUSINESS)and I am sure it will not stop here. I wish you all the best and can’t wait to zip line over land ,water or what ever.

“what’s the max load per cable”.
Good point hmmm.

I can see injuries here.
They are too close together with swinging feet et al.

And no I am not a spoil sport.
This needs to be ‘re-thunk’.

An opinion.

Shalom.

Max weight limit of 250lbs will rule out a lot of people, but good luck with the venture!

Best wishes to your new venture!!! Hopefully one day it will become a tourist attraction where visitors can glide over some beautiful scenery somewhere in the island.

Thats why nothing ever works in Bermuda because of negative people like you. always tear an idea down and dont contribute anything positive to society.

the biggest thing holding Bermudians back is their negative attitude and mindset

I agree with you. But I guess to Bermudians this is exciting.

True entrepreneurship!! Some of us were discussing this concept on FB just last year. I am really pleased to see that, once out there in the Universe, someone picked up on the idea and ran with it!
Wishing Antwan and Sherri every success. My hope is that something like this will eventually be situated where one can end in the water. Now THAT would be real fun, IMHO.

One of the party planning companies on the island does have a mechanical bull, I’ve seen it at wedding receptions before.

OK I will be trying this and the distance won’t matter. Been wanting to try for some time and I think the ease-in will be good before I venture to the jungle in Antigua or some other place . Congrats guys you got my vote!!

Unfortunately ziplines are everywhere & the vertical drop is much more than 30′ & a couple hundred foot run.

Good luck with it anyway. I can see it working at harbour nights, though running from the top of a building would be far more exciting. It would have worked at the Ag Show.

It will be one of those been there, done that, things once the local kids have had a turn but if they have done one in a forest or off a canyon somewhere before well, hmmmmm, 30′ does not do it.

Is there a mechanical bull on the island? Now that would have some endurance in appeal plus some side betting money.

Wasn’t there a sip-line in St. David’s(Battery Park area) that had expanded over water? What became of that? I agree, it would be a great business for someone / a few people to venture into during the Spring and Summer seasons…at the right price of course
