Nice! Had to happen!
Zip-line the HG.
Do you also see this as a means to launch some HG at the end of a zip run?

There was a fellow up in the Big Bear ski area (Southern California) who had a rig like that. I would guess it was there in the mid-90's. I talked my girlfriend into trying it, and she thought it was great.

I've got a few photos of the rig, but I'd have a hard time finding them right now.

Thanks for that post Al!!!
