Powerbock Abseiling
« on: September 30, 2008, 03:17:02 PM »
Just wondering has anyone ever tried abseiling on powerbocks? I'm sure bouncing down a building would be loads more fun than walking down one. Just wondered that's all  ???

Yeah prob, I wasn't thinking more how fast or easy you could bounce down but how far out away from the building, without bocks you'd be limited to how much your legs could push off. It was only a thought anyway

I went on an abseiling training course and was the only one who sliped upside down which they called " Doing a BATMAN ".  :Dark_Knight:

The hardest part would be getting over and lending back at the start. Once you start down it would get easier has the ropes angle would be about the same as without bock on. Grip maybe be a little tricky but after a couple of goes it shouldn't be much of a problem.
