Awesome swing. How did you determine to what height you decided to build the swing? Do you have any drawings you would be willing to share, as I would love to make for. :-)
I have searched and searched for someone who could do this on a regular swing with a chain. Nowhere! My cousin used to be able to complete 360 swing around the set when we were young! No B.S.!! She did it in 1973 all the time! She would generate enough height and speed! When I tell the story, absolutely nobody believes me! But all of us kids were in amazement because she could do this. She was crazy! We were approximately 10-11 years of age. And this was done in Douglassville Pa!
lol nice, i have a swingset similar at my home place for 40 years, even my mother once accidentally swang it over, i have the big beam length about 180 cm and i do it while sitting down, without any harnesses :)
dude you are my hero lol but that is asome were going to be building a 30 foot swing in the back yard can't wait and did you come up with your own plans?
Yes I built it myself, I started collecting bits of steel 6 months before I got started on the thing but it probibly only took me 2/3 weeks to build it to completion. I worked on it most week days after work.
insparation to all 43 year olds i reckon, most 43 olds are tired of work and sitting around complaining and lazy and here you are doing 360s on a swing !
This was cool! i noticed that whenever you finished a rotation that the next time you went forward you for got to push yourself. I relize that in the action of doing that it would probly be hard to remember but, if you did push yourself after a rotation eventually centrifical force should kick in and keep you going as long as you keep pushing. I figured I would tell you this if you didn't already know, if you do, well.......it was still totally awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the comment. I have tryed what you said and your right, once I got going faster then it was very easy to keep going. The only problem was I got very dizzy and had to stop after about 7 rotations, I'm guessing because of the Geforses involved. Blood was rushing from my feet to my head and back very quickly, hahaha.
I posted a new video for a contest for an entrepeneur conference this weekend. I would love it if you could comment on it. Also, people have until May 26 to submit entries. Thought you might be interested in perhaps submitting something since you are a creative guy. Thanks, Noella
you know, it would probably be easier to swing all the way around it you attached a counterweight to the opposite end of the swing.. looks like a fun time, the whole adventure :)
brilliant! also nice to see some safety :)

It works better if you add counter weight to the top end of the swing, then you will be able to keep looping.
