I RODE THE LONGEST ZIPLINE IN NORTH AMERICA - 2.2 KM Long Sasquatch, Whistler, B.C. [Travel Vlog]

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! 😁💪

Good 4 U. Praying you’re still doing well.

[@chaskpc]

Hope you’re still doing well. Attitude helps a lot!

[@kristenkissner1774]

Hope ur still alive and well

[@xtrail051]

@Vincent Lim still here and doing good thanks, haven't managed to get much travelling done due to covid but the tumours in my spine haven't spread or grown so happy days. 💪😁 #fuckcancer

[@user-bo8dw8vu4i]

Imagine if you stuck in the middle

[@JohnDoe-jt4ju]

Bring a can of WD-40.

[@jenniferangeline5745]

I got stuck once, mount Tremblay....terrifying, but they come out and get ya lol.

[@BTFOOMNY]

The hills are alive . . . . . with the sound of terror. 🤣

[@itskiniyah9063]

7:46 your welcome babes 😘

[@Icewing10]

7:40 is better, you get the first scream lol

[@ralphrepo]

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!

[@MsDemonism]

Whistler is one of the most amazing places on earth, I had no appreciation of the amazing experiences I was having. My memory is so gone and this was great to watch and remember.

[@dirk4926]

I think I'd want to wear goggles or at least have an elastic strap to hold my sun glasses on. Very cool though, I enjoyed the video.

[@VivaFrei]

Yep, I quickly learned that I had to move my head carefully, because if I turned into the wind, my glasses would’ve gotten sucked off my face!

[@pathfinder9759]

I did the Zip line at Niagara Falls in the dark 3 years ago. What fun!! Now I know Whistler has this, I'm adding it to my bucket list.

[@KatWarhound]

Dude, you're a badass for overcoming your obvious hatred of heights. Way to go!

[@xenorasmusson2462]

Just neurotic.

[@harmon1286]

Congratulations, my man..! Super Fun in a lifetime of ups and downs..!

[@jenniferangeline5745]

I love zipling, going to Vermont soon to do some...but man, this looks insane 😮😲 like serious adrenaline lol!! Awesome video!

[@ehJoe]

To celebrate 100k i decided on one of my favorite Viva vids and this one is epic, have probably watched this 4 times, still love it. 👊💪🍁

[@rosyjohnstone8265]

Wow, David this was awesome!! You are brave! Thank you for letting me experience it through you. I could not get the courage to do this.

[@trustyshellback4724]

It's on my bucket list! Great video, thanks.

[@tyvin8]

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 KZbinr is here" as you hold out the selfie stick like a sword and give em the upturned profile (lol). Good job...

[@Shroomstep]

This was awesome, thanks for doing it =D

[@chellegriggs]

Ziplining is awesome...I've done it in Hawaii & Alaska among other countries, but NEVER anything like this one...WOW..ok on second watch, I would definitely do this...WOW

[@manuelrivera5347]

You should try and go to the longest zip line in the world that is in Puerto Rico being 7,234 feet

[@patriothammer1460]

Use a calculator mate 2.2km is 7333.33ft This is longer than the one you speak about 😂😂😂😂😂

[@Elijah0406]

@@patriothammer1460 Are u trolling. 2.2 Km is 7217.85 feet.

Hey Patriot, I got batteries for your calculator 😂 😂

[@islandmick6349]

Mate, that was really cool. Have done a couple of zip lines (Tasmania, Queensland and New Zealand) but nothing near the length of this baby! (Tassie was 700m if I recall correctly) Thanks for taking the time to video this, I'll meet my daughter in Canada and make sure she takes me on this!!

[@manuelrivera5347]

Island Mick well after this one then you should go to the longest zip line in the world that is in Puerto Rico being 7,234 feet exact it is called the monster and is located in Orocovis, PR

[@Dote19]

This is freaking insane and i love it.

[@carlubambi5541]

Haven been there since 2000.Had a snow ball fight on Whistler 8n July wearing shirts and flip flops and had the best salmon chowder ever !

It was freaking AMAZING! Check out the Vlawg where I discuss liability waivers while doing the zipline in Quebec! 😂

[@thomaskeene9697]

That will be awesome

[@bilindamueller3154]

Im addicted to ZIPLINNING..been all over America..you must do the GRAND CANYON!!!

[@jimmyhill9743]

Awesome 😮

[@blueman5924]

Rumour has it, the first guy to ride this was actually running from BigFoot after stealing his case of Kokanee beer. 🤘

[@lucuslopez6866]

The scariest part in zip lining is when you start rotating lol

[@johnlennin1501]

I went ziplining with friends but got so scared I chickened out :( I am really scared of heights to the point where when I go on a escalator in a sports stadium, I have to sit down on it

[@faerieSAALE]

Now you know what it is like to be an Eagle!

[@avacandide]

awesome :O

[@protokevinleversee975]

I used to watch you back here when you were doing this. I love your recent work and I know how important it is for the current battle of liberty we are in. I miss the old days when things were not on the line the way they are now.

[@ethanq8297]

You are gonna love Ottawa's new zipline! Coming in 2020...

[@childrenlove]

While I was watching you going on this line...getting all nervous ...I was having my stomach in a knot!! I have never seen such a long Zip line. Sure have to trust the engineers who built this thing. 😝 Well done David. Thank you for filming it for us. Incredible!!!!

[@VivaFrei]

vreni marchant I love it when you catch up on Videos! It's the motivation I need to keep going :-)

What are you building?

[@goodmorningcrystal]

I did this a few years ago but sadly there was so much smoke from the finest fires I didn’t get much of a view. Still amazing though.

[@sarae-karimi4468]

We did this zipline this summer and it was the scariest thing I've ever done but it was so much fun! Shout out to the Ziptrek staff for being so patient and making this experience so amazing.

Yep I would be very nervous boi!!!!

Imagine looking through the car window and seeing this

[@natureboyricflair8555]

Imagine hitting the brake too hard and getting stuck halfway 😬lol

[@caboguide]

Zip line junky. I gotta try that one!

[@shawnlikethelight9637]

Come to BC to meet an Aussie. Looks like you need to go twice.

[@GregRodgers1]

I would be at the point of terrified and loving it as I came down, and I'm not good with heights which would make it more exciting. Did any of the girls watch and comment on the video? Why didn't your wife do it?

[@saptarshimajumder3204]

For the first time sir i have seen you getting intimidated before the ride. Its weird to see a hyperactive and overenthusiastic guy getting reduced to a intimidated child

[@VivaFrei]

Saptarshi Majumder lol... indeed. It was truly terrifying. You can see my cheeks flapping in the wind it was so fast... Glad I did it. And glad I survived. I kind of want to do it again, but it was pricey, and Ziptek isn't offering me a freebie yet ;)

[@masonjohanneson6612]

Yeah but i bet you wouldn't do it

[@gmayster01]

Awesome. Want to do !

[@chau9346]

The speed is the scariest

how much to fly?
