  • We were lucky enough to crash at a friend's place in Whistler. And while here, I obviously had to do the Sasquatch - the longest and fastest zip line in North America... 2.2 kilometres long, reaching speeds in excess of 130 km/h. The build-up was terrifying. The leap into the oblivion was beyond terrifying. I was screaming just to scream. I was legitimately terrified. But I focused on trying to capture the moment for the world to experience - two GoPros and all :) Enjoy! Peace out! And be sure to like, share & subscribe!

    Did this three years ago it was absolutely superb. Loved every terrifying second ❤️ did most of the things on my bucket list after being diagnosed with terminal cancer, this was one of the things on my list and it's the only one I'm considering adding again seeing as I'm still here defying the odds! 😁💪

    Can't believe how much zip lining has become such an entertainment industry now when it used to be a military thing. My first zip experience was in France when I underwent commando training back in 1976, LOL... BTW, you have a lot of pluck, free handing that selfie stick with no tether. One wrong bump and that would have been lost for good. Nice vid though, and thanks!

    I needed a laugh this morning and your video on the zip line experience caught my eye (definitely wear goggles on zip lines). How chivalrous of you to go first. Re-do that with bass "I'll go first my fair ladies: never fear... Viva Frei, macho litigator turned CZcamsr is here" as you hold out the selfie stick like a sword and give em the upturned profile (lol). Good job...
