Gday people
Your going to think I've lost it now and maybe I have but a while ago I built this swing that goes all the way around, "whats that got to do with Kitesurfing?": I here you ask, well nothing I guess but I am thinking of getting back on it to get some fitness back (sitting in my excavator for 10 years hasn't done me any favours) because the last time I went kitesurfing I was totaly stuffed within a few hours and that was mostly in flat water. Besides I think going upside down may help me with some of the tricks that I hope to be pulling off soon, lol. Cheers Marcus.
my new personal hero. pure legend. love the typed and spoken intros. just makes it all the more legendary. reminds me a lot of yahoo serious. very aussie. nice work man. 
Thanks Smedg...I was a little worried the video was going to get a caining, so far so good, cheers Marcus.
Hahaha...thankyou, I resemble that comment...lol, I only used my stick welder and an old trailor axel to make it, not sure if I want to go any higher, it was freeky enough the first time I tried it, wasn't sure if it was going to hold. cheers Marcus
That is cool Love the safety features and the engineering involved.Was an engineer involved or plenty of trail and error.I imagine there is some awesome forces involved what is the SWL? Can I have the plans my son loves his swing might be able to knock it up for his 1st birthday.Vomitron lol.
With all that space in your backyard I'm sure the neighbours look forward to the next sideshow attraction no?? I can already smell the dagwood dogs cooking in QLD's new Carni Alley....Hmmmnnnnnn!
There are some seriously wacky people in this world.
Thank God !!!
ps - you're an ideas-man Marcus
Hahaha...what safety features, lol...no engineer involved just all in my head,lol. I'm just a dumb ass excavator opperator but I can weld not to bad and I collect junk. SWL....hahaha, yeah me=100kg, lol.
I don't realy have plans because I just drew it up on the concrete floor of the shed then I laid the steel out and welded it together it still took a fair bit of working out let me tell you.
cheers Marcus

The first time was very scary but after that it was fun and hard work to go over. I once went over 7times in a row and I almost blacked out, I think it was because the blood in my head was getting pulled down then up then down..etc and I just got more and more dizzy, I could hardly walk when I got off, lol. I had some mates come over to try it and they all neary through up,hahah.
cheers Marcus

does it come with a safety fence around it?
you probably wouldn't want neighbor's cat walking about when you'r on it...
thats fantastic! if we hadn't evolved into the nanny state i would order 10 for my local parks.
love the helmet, just as precaution
I tried one at a fair that was held in south africa. They're pretty good fun. That said, their safety setup wasn't that great so someone blacked out and fell off and nearly died. Make sure you are properly strapped in on the hands and legs, they had wrist straps like you have and apparently that doesn't hold you on when you black out and swinging around at that speed with only your legs attached is an invitation for a head injury.
blokes never grow up- you effing Champ !!!!! Golden !!!!!! Love it !!!!!
When can I come have a go ???????????

worth it
Thanks Neill,
No swaybar here just some scrap pipe, plate steel, HD hingers, a piece of marine ply, two very short seat belts and a solid trailor axel. Put them all together and you have yourself a fantastic terror contraption guaranted to scare the crap out of your friends when they come over for the next BBQ, lol. cheers Marcus.
I think we have all at one stage lived next to a crazy neighbour,
You know the ones, everytime you look over the fence you think,"What the fu@k is he doing now?"
But you Marcus take the cake.
I dont think anyone that watches that vid didnt think,"I want to have a go".
Awsome
Thats goen straight to the pool room,
