Default A Swinging Good Time

I rigged up a mighty big swing with some webbing, biners and a dynamic rope this last weekend to add a little adventure to our lives here in Tennessee. I'd say it was a good 30' from the anchor to the surface of the water, which makes for a pretty exciting swing. 6 guys with one jump a piece. Not sure if these pics show enough detail of the setup but they are some of the coolest shots from the morning under the bridge. We had fun for sure.

You are a braver man than I! I have 2nd thoughts about jumping off the tailgate of a pickup. Nice job on the shots.

Great series of shots and the last is excellent. I do have to agree with teedlepeep, Oh, Hell No, my aversion to heights would never let me do that.
