New River Gorge Bridge Walk Fayetteville West Virginia
Просмотров 218 тыс.12 лет назад
Take a walk with me on the 3030 ft long catwalk 876 ft above the New River in West Virginia. Construction on the New River Gorge bridge began in June 1974 and was completed on October 22, 1977 at a cost of 37 million dollars.
Great video. Most of these channels want to film themselves instead of their surroundings, which is really what we want to see.
I'm doing this in September.
I have rappelled this twice in 1983 and 84 during bridge day We also used the catwalk. I used a 16 inch rappel rack for variable friction, starting with 4 bars and ending up with 7 bars.
in english??? WTF
My younger brother used to climb out onto the catwalk until he got to the middle and then would leave the cat walk and go out to the edge of the bridge on a beam. From there he'd base jump.
Awesome!!!
That is one of the highest bridges I ever seen
Many thanks...well done!
You are welcome.
Not funny at all to cross it with these many ropes‼🤷🏼♂
Nice video! Thank you for sharing! It surely looks very varied and interesting. So many things to see!
We went White Water Rafting there in 2012. Saw this bridge. I didn't know this was available to do.
#goals
Would not walk out there for a billion dollars ! Don't know why they would build something like that.
y’all some bold mfs
I found out about this bridge on Fallout 76.
God that looks so incredibly boring and annoying. Guys, it's a solid structure with guard rails. You don't need harness.
Wow. They should redo that with a glass bottom all the way across.
would you be willing to share/allow me to download your footage from this for a presentation?
Thank you for this awesome video
Here in FO76 right now
nice & really old video !!
Awesome I can’t do that I’m soo afraid the heights
Awesome
THIS IS A ONCE IN A LIFETIME EXPERIENCE, WOW WOW ! YOU JUST CANNOT FEEL THE HEIGHT AND MASSIVENESS OF THIS BRIDGE ON A FILM HOWEVER GOOD IT IS ! I WOULD RECOMMEND GOING IN WARM WEATHER, WE WERE THERE IN NOVEMBER, BOUT FROZE OUR BUNS OFF ! HAAAAA ! IT WAS LIKE 38° WITH WINDS GUSTING TO AROUND 25 30 MPH ! WOW WOW NOW THATS A THRILL ALSO ! IT IS VERY SAFE AND EASY WALK, I WAS EIGHTY AND DID JUST FINE ! OH YES,WEST VIRGINIA MY MOUNTAIN MOMMA ! YALL COME VISIT, BUT DON'T STAY TOO LONG, WE ARE JEALOUS OF OUR MOMMA !
uhmmm...whats on top of the bridge? why can't they walk ON TOP of the bridge, rather just below the top of the bridge?
Traffic
No soy was used in the building of this bridge.
Congrats to the State of West Virginia for the new New River Gorge National Park!
Ya I'm supper excited to visit there tomorrow!!
I remember doing that BEFORE there were tours. No ropes, high on mushrooms, and having the time of our lives. We would lay in the expansion joints and watch cars and trucks pass inches over our heads, also climb into the steel beems and do a little industrial caving. Those were the days.
Shit that sounds like something i would def do today if it wasnt for them damn bridge walk tours
my parents were from white sulphur springs.
Really enjoyed the video parts of the walk itself but almost gave me the heebie jeebies.. I want to know more about the building of the bridge and more about those expansion joints !
I am 90 years old. When the bridge was under Construction I took my mother and grandmother to see it. We stood on the rock outcrop which was what was the only overlook, and watched the men walk across the bridge on a one foot wide piece of the structure. My children and grandchildren still visit the bridge whenever possible. Many of us drive from Florida and one from Pennsylvania. I live in Florida but will take one more trip home to west va. And will see the bridge one last time. It brings memories.
Did you ever get a chance to go back to the bridge ??

Brave men buildin the bridge with hardly any safety gear if any, luggin around the pneumiac drills and hoisting reinforced steel. A true American landmark❤
Hell no....to the no no no , hell to the noooooo!.
O man I didn't know you could do that wow. It's making me dizzy
It's cool people get to do this. What's funny is when I was young I had a relative that lived very close and we would walk to the bridge and you could walk underneath on both sides. But we didn't walk across it.
Do you have any idea how much life and freedom we risked to do this before it was legal? You'd go with 4 or 5 friends around 3am, park in a cemetery, climb a fence at the old matress, walk across the things they walked across to get under the bridge, then walk all the way across and back. No ropes or safety. Pitch dark. Pre-9/11, so only $150 fine if caught, never was, but so more fun before the government took over. Damn.
I saw this bridge from the bed of the river in 1982... Awesome sight... They said at that time people were "base jumping" from it... It was a great trip rafting on Gauley River...
Nice video, thanks. I'm going this Sunday Oct. 4...St. Jerome to Mont Laurier
Hope you had a great ride. Glad you enjoyed the video. I had fun making it.
Your video is one of the top recommending my vid (Thanks): ruclips.net/video/MMVjE9Kx_MM/видео.html
I was down there yesterday. I saw that white van . Iam definitely doing that walk if I go down there again this year
Looks scary 😬
I did this and witnessed a guy commit suicide off the bridge he made eye contact with us
I've got a video on this tour also....what a fun time.
I need 5 subscribers 🎭
Just watching this gave me anxiety. Yikes!
I did this in 2019 and it was SO AMAZING! It's up to $72 a person if anyone is wondering.
@Dmac 740 just think we just saved 72 bucks
Try 161.00 plus tax
@@markbeck3489 seriously is that how much it cost now?
@@Toyeboy89 we were there last weekend and that's what it was
@@markbeck3489 holy shit. Greed
An engineering marvel. And it looks like the guide enjoys his job!
Really helpful, going next weekend. Thank you!
Great vidéo 😀
I just went over this bridge
7:57 keep your eye on the little person maning the head of the raft! They end up washed out/tapping out.
