Me, Zipline?

Posted on October 11, 2012 by journeyingjames 14 Comments

Okay, let me say first that “I’m never a fan of ziplines.” Not that I’m afraid of heights, I actually like to try sky-diving, you can read that on my Bucket List. But then, if its free and you got nothing to do, then I have to try it, right?

Tried it I did at Tierra Alta, Valencia, Negros Oriental! And it was sooooo much fun!

You will see me in complete BLISS if you watch the video.

This is the first time I tried to edit videos from my GoPro HD Hero 2 camera. So, here’s the video I made for you:

 This happens once in a blue moon… You will miss a lot if you won’t watch. 😉

Along with me are travel blogger friends: Angel of Lakwatsero, Marky of Nomadic Experiences and Ferdz of IronWulf.net. Jacq and Adrian from Go Hotels tried the ride too. Ivan Henares was with us too but chose to just enjoy the scenic view of Tierra Alta in the mountain foothills of Valencia, Negros Oriental.

So, was my view of ZIPLINES change after this?

I guess not. I will repost my earlier sentiments with ziplines:

As far as I know there are hundreds of zipzones scattered around the archipelago and counting… As if we are a nation addicted to zipline rides or are we trying to make another world record- “The most ziplines in the country.” Hmmmmm….

Last time I checked, we have lots to offer to visitors, we have 7,107 islands ready to be explored offering a wide array of adventure. How about a leisurely mountain trek?

Why do we mar nature’s beauty with something mechanical?

I’m not against ziplines but if the construction of it destroys the environment then I have to say NO. I will not be naming where these ziplines are located but the one in Tierra Alta didn’t harm the environment. This is the primary reason I rode it.

Okay, I will be cool now. KALMA!

Before you close the blog, watch the video and experience virtually what I experienced.

    Agree ako dyan James. I’d rather go for a day hike or a river trek. Masyado namang overrated at overpriced yang mga ziplines na yan…hehe.
