Has anyone tried one of these? My friends and I thought of the idea and looked it up on youtube and sawalot of people doing it. Sounds like alot of fun.

Watch it here:

Looks like a great way to get used to new tricks. I was thinking about sticking the Rope through a life jacket and then tightening it. Would that work as a better harness than the way they do it in the video?

Thanks,
Zach

This is just AMAZING!!! I mean, there's no limit to the possibilities of trick you can do, and i would like to see someone doing a roll back out of this:P those transfers were so nice too

im not sure if a life jacket could support your weight (or any weight) but im sure it would be better then the tire

Yea I think Im going to try this soon at my friend's house. I just need to build a harness. Seems like the best way is 2 water noodles each in circles wrapped in duct tape with a spot for the rope to tie on to (I think that might be how it is in the first video).

such a good idea!!! I would wanna get as high as possible how sweet would that be
EDIT: Or go at it at an angle so that you just spin in a circle for a while

I've seen this before, but it is still sooooo cool. I would just go to an outdoor shop and buy a climbing harness. It would fit better, and way less sketchy. I don't imagine just the harness would be to expensive also.
