went for Skytrex Adventure located in Taman Bukit Pertanian at Bukit Cahaya, Shah Alam on 1st May 2008..from the wording, you can foresee that it has something to do with adventuring in the sky, haha..as per their website, it is the first of its kind in Malaysia!!! Skytrex Adventure is a place where you can enjoy jungle trekking from a level never done before - through the canopy of the forest!!!
basically one will be going through 23 different challenge trails and will take one into the jungle for up to two hours without touching the ground..and the trails will bring you through a series of aerial trails suspended up to 17 metres!!!
from left: goh chee, kok hong, wai kong, me, wai chai, robert, kian kah, lan chye,
valen and her bf, hean..(photos all courtesy of Valen)..
after a testing trail, here comes the real challenge..climbing up to the top..for those who have hypsiphobia, bet you will think twice before you proceed with this..cuz you will be up there for two hours even though there are ways for you to get down la (which I will reveal later)..but still, the "way" will only be available after you completed several trails..
view from the top after the fisrt trail..honestly, you start to fee a bit tired after this..mind you, this is only the first trail!!! and you are actually on your own once you are up here..the instructor will basically just sitting down there watching you guys doing all the stunt..
Valen going through one big trunk..can you see me in this picture? I was the one at the right bottom climbing up the stairs..hehe
the second easiest..haha..
this is the easiest amongst all - the safety next bridge..basically you can just be very relaxed going through this..
this is the second hardest trail - the tarzan swing!!! basically you have to hold on to the rope and jump to the next plank..
I tell you..this is the hardest amongst all..cuz it is not stable when you are crossing it and it keeps shaking..it took me some time before I managed to struggle through it..haha..
zig-zag trail..quite challenging..you have to possess a good balancing skill..
the flying fox!!! this is the highlight of the course where you will be flying form one end to the other!!!
I think this is the longest trail which will take u some time before you can complete this..
this is the way to get down that I mentioned earlier..to be precised, it is called "chicken exit"..haha..so if you feel like you want to be chicken, you can always choose to walk down this net and you will reach the ground and deemed "completed"..
I still managed to pose for a picture now..but not for the next minute..
I am actually struggling very hard on this spider web..cuz it is nearing the end and I have used up my energy..but looking from the back, I looked like spiderman rite? haha..
here I go!!! the final trail by flying fox!!!
after that, we were damn hungry and decided to go to Asiacafe @ Subang to have our lunch..overall, it is quite tiring but I felt that this is a very challenging activity! every one should have gone and have a go on it!!!
