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

[@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.

[@BTFOOMNY]

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

[@662-z2g]

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.

[@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...

[@chrismack7608]

Looks great ..did one of the fastest in the world at North Wales Snowdonia which went at 120 mph and your horizontal ..this one looks gentler but more scenic !

[@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.

[@harmon1286]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@itskiniyah9063]

7:46 your welcome babes 😘

[@Icewing10]

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

[@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.

[@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 !

[@jenniferangeline5745]

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

[@trustyshellback4724]

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

[@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

[@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

[@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. 👊💪🍁

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.

[@blueman5924]

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

[@roadkillavenger1325]

Crazy to think about all of the weight that little cable is holding up.

[@commiezombie2477]

4:37 Had his hand all in dudes face 🧐🤣 Edit - Holly hell, I didn't even realize this was a Viva F video until I heard his voice half way through the video. Usually only hear you talking politics. Didn't know you had a life at one point 😂😂😂

[@Freeridin07]

Lol at 8:15 did you sh!t your pants when you flew past the other girl at the speed of sound? You flew by her pretty dang fast...and backwards🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@nn9872]

Thank you so much for you video!! I am from France, and I would like to visit Canada!! ah ah for sure if I come I want to do that!!!

[@Shroomstep]

This was awesome, thanks for doing it =D

[@lucuslopez6866]

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

[@ryryscientist]

Finally goin on a zip line tomorrow

[@gewawdypooh]

Ryan Lama’rr I know it's way past tomorrow but how was it?

[@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 :-)

[@childrenlove]

Viva Frei David, I am watching ALL your videos and loving them. 😀. I am a real fan. 👍

[@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

[@Truebluenat1111]

I did it 6 years ago. I opened my eyes. I Cried after and had a beer.

[@ethanq8297]

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

[@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.

[@DoughBoy-jt3gm]

I live here in bc I had no idea we even had this in whistler . Was gona fly to Dubai for the zipline but fuck it I just go up to black comb now !! Woot woot

[@youngscooter6290]

What are you building?

[@TomasHunter-q8v]

Video is cool to watch… but bro why did u ride backwards all the way u could of turn around lol😅

[@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?

[@Udi19Voetbal]

Well thats fun going backwards :-S

[@thomaskeene9697]

That will be awesome

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 ;)
