    You say whoopies save the day, yet you have ENO Slapstarps as your suspension!

    Yeah, I gotta update what gear I'm using. I've got a Warbonnet Blackbird with whoopies now.
    Is it hang time yet?

    Looks like it worked okay...he didn't fall. I don't see an issue if you have a strong enough ridgeline, that's why I've considered switching the zing-it out with 7/64 amsteel, I have a trip planned out west and suspect I may get into the same situation of tree spacing being wider than desired.
