Slingshot!
On our last afternoon in Guam Nikko (this is the correct spelling, not ‘Nico’), Eugene and I rode the Slingshot.
It is called a slingshot because it works on a similar principle. A spring propulsion device is “pulled” back and then it shoots the capsule into the air at about 160kph.
(That’s Eugene up there with the Slingshot operator because they need two passengers to maintain balance.)
The capsule flies up into the air, it spins,
and then you plummet back down head-first. It’s insane and wonderful! I wanted to ride again but the second ride is ten dollars are they crazy? (The first ride is $20.)
We bought the dvd of our ride for another 20 bucks. I was going to post the audio in which Nikko is having a nervous breakdown and I am laughing nonstop for two minutes like The Joker, but I sound insane and/or like I’m molesting Nikko. How could I molest someone who sings Leona Lewis. (Hi, Eugene and Nikko! Hindi tayo magsa-shopping ngayon.)
