Shotover Canyon Swing

Bollywood comes to the Swing

steve — Thu, 23 Feb 2012 02:52:11 +0000

Recently the staff from Nomads Safaris and Shotover Canyon Swing got together and produced their version of a Bollywood film.

This short 3 minute film is described as an epic Love Story set in the adventure mecca of the world: Queenstown, New Zealand.

Shot in a day and using only talent from the two companies for acting, directing, filming, editing and writing it is well worth taking the time to watch.

‘it is with total disgust that we let Jack our legendary Graphics guru leave the Swing family So what better way to make him feel bad, than egging his face! Jack has been with us since the dawn of time, seen us through our baby years through to now. He’s a bit of a bloody legend and we know we’ll be seeing him again soon.

All the best Jack and a heap of Big Swing Love (and Eggs) at you!

As you can see from the photos leaving Canyon Swing is not something that you want to take lightly.

Birth of a new Jumpstyle

Kail and Jack are the first ever to pogo off Shotover Canyon Swing.

Jack pogo's away from the platform

The boys very kindly donated the pogo stick to the Swing so others can experience yet another way to jump off a 109m cliff.

Please note that Speedo’s are not required. “Dennis from accounts” thought that Kail would look good in them so said it was a prerequisite if he was to use his pogo stick.

Oi has left the building…

After a momumental 5 year stint of making the Swing’s IT World more brilliant than a brilliant thing, Oi (aka Mr Eoin Kelly, it’s an Oirish thing!) has left the building. To punish him for leaving our world, we put him in a proper Swing-Irish uniform, restrained him in stocks and added enough ingredients to make him into a potato cake, check it out!

Here’s our GM and Ops Manager saying their fond farewells!

We will miss the Oily one very muchly, but still see him lots and wish him all the very best with his future IT adventures!
