3 Ways to Add Some Zip to Your Summer Neighborhood Block Party

GRANTS PASS, Ore. - July 1, 2015 - PRLog -- There’s bocce, croquet and pickle ball – all fine games for your average neighborhood block party. But, if you really want to add some spice to the life of your barbecue, invite the neighbors over for a little zip…no, not sip. Zip. Zip-lining.  ZipLineGear.com has a line (several lines in fact) on adding a little zip to the cul-de-sac cookout.

Developed by Nathan Sleadd, a youthful Southern Oregon entrepreneur with a penchant for climbing trees and zipping from his perch in backyard tree houses, the ZipLineGear brand has become synonymous with easy-to-rig, adventure-filled backyard fun. And, with a new zip line, your youngsters’ backyard birthday parties may never go back to piñatas, bubbles, and magic shows or rent-a-clowns. ZipLineGear products will provide all the surprises, squeals, laughs and flights of fancy.  (Psst...don't let the kids know this is a healthy alternative.)

ZipLineGear.com offers several combo kits and more than 200 accessories and components to create a one-stop shopping experience. And, as the easiest-to-install zip line kits on the market with simple design features, the Douglas Rogue Combo and the Sleadd Phoenix and Sleadd Taurus kits are perfect DIY backyard projects with an instant payoff.  (Install time can be as short as 30 minutes.)  Sleadd’s crew has even included the tools and tutorials to complete the project. All you need to provide is a clear runway between two trees and an end-to-end drop of six to eight feet per 100 feet of ride. (Zip line lengths range from 150 feet to 500 feet.)

Most kits come with one to two sets of riding gear – enough zip line for you and your neighbors (or the neighborhood kids). Harnesses with adjustable waist and leg straps can carry a small child from 70 pounds up to a full-grown adult of 350 pounds with a 52-inch or slimmer waist. When you’re ready to rig up your zip line, Sleadd’s experts  “look over your shoulders” with unlimited phone and email support.

“Obviously, the largest concern for installing a backyard zip line is safety,” said Sleadd, CEO and owner of Sleaddventures, LLC which owns ZipLineGear.com. “Installing a zip line correctly isn't overly difficult or complicated, but it's important to follow the rules and do it right...that's why we put such a heavy focus on information and education in our customer service.”

This unique customer service program, “Zip Line Gear Promise,” boasts a one-year 100 percent satisfaction guarantee on all equipment sold on its website. Products such as the Sleadd Phoenix and Sleadd Taurus kits even come with a 10-year warranty. Other highlights include technology exclusive to Sleadd’s creative team.  For instance, the company’s Boa Bungee Braking System makes for a quick, safe gentle stop at the landing. And, the Rogue Cable Trolley allows tremendous speed and fluid motion.   Now, let’s get that party started.
