SkyTrex - A physical and mental challenge! Don't miss it!

Yesterday almost 30 of us went to SkyTrex, a flying fox challenge in Taman Pertanian Shah Alam. It's fun to go with lots of friends, coz we were dominating the place! Haha! Situated not far from University Malaya, about 20-30 minutes drive (if no traffic jam), SkyTrex is worth for a visit. RM35 for adult, if more than 10 ppl can get 10% discount. Besides, one can go around the big taman to visit the other places.

Free shuttle bus service in the Taman Pertanian. It's open air~

It's a challenge of physical fitness & toughness, overcome the fear of height, go thru the challenge successfully, and enjoy the game! It's about 1 hour plus for the whole process, providing you are the first timer and no ppl 'taffic jam' in front of u :p

Doing preparation, wondering how to wear the stuff? ask Tatt, he will show u just simple like this!

I would say it's very safe, although we were hanging more than 20m (4-5th floor) above the ground, coz we were checked for the equipments, and had a briefing before start. The guy explain everything and everyone of us had to go thru a smaller challenge to know the correct step. Basically we had a roller to put on the rope, a primary hanger to attach on it, and another rescue hanger to lock on rope. So everytime when moving from a place to another, there will be at least a safety lock on u.

With my lovely gf, ready for challenge!

But anyhow, if u happen to detach both of them from u, there is absolutely no place to hold in the platform, falling down from 5 storey height is not joking :p The challenge was not as easy as thought, climbing 5 storey height on a 90 degree stair was not easy even for a fit guy in one shot. Some of the challenges were not easily done, if you cant make it, there will always an alternative (coz you are on safety attachment, also a 'chicken exit' for those who fail to move on).

Anyway, all of us manage to get thru these, and had a fun time there! We still able to take many photos on such height, risking the camera just to take down the valuable moments!

This is easy haha!~

Hands were tiring to overcome this, and balancing skill too!

"This fancy stuff is not a problem for me!"

Hanging in the air when on flying fox!

Took the free time to go the famous '4 Season House' in the park. Now is in spring mode, the flowers were so beautiful, it's cold inside there! Rm3 per entrance.

If you are in KL, dun miss this great opportunity!
TAKE THE CHALLENGE WHEN YOU ARE YOUNG!
