La Paz\u2019s Urban Rush Introduces Rap Jumping To South America<\/strong><\/p>\n

by Laurel Miller on Apr 3, 2013<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Urban<\/a><\/p>\n

Australia and New Zealand are generally accepted as having cornered the market on bizarre adventure activities, especially in urban areas. Unsurprising, then, that Alistair Matthew, the Kiwi founder of La Paz\u2019s ginormously successful, groundbreaking Gravity Assisted Mountain Biking, has brought a bit of the Antipodes to Bolivia\u2019s capital city.<\/p>\n

A year ago, inspired by a similar enterprise in Melbourne, Matthew launched Urban Rush. The sport, also known as rap jumping, entails rappelling \u2013 preferably face-first \u2013 down the side of a 17-story building in central La Paz (the view, FYI, is spectacular; it\u2019s across the street from the colonial stunner that is the San Francisco Church), and provides views of the tenaciously perched brick houses of El Alto. The kicker, however, is that the final six stories are in free fall (that\u2019s me, above, about five stories before taking the plunge).<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not as sketchy as it sounds. In addition to your own power (meaning you have a brake and a guide hand), there\u2019s an experienced guide belaying you from below, and another controlling you from the top. So even if you were to let go completely, you\u2019ve got two ropes as backup.<\/p>\n

The aforementioned building is the Hotel Presidente, La Paz\u2019s finest. That only makes for more fun, as costume-clad, thrill-seeking, dirtbag backpackers traipse through the stylish 15th floor restaurant and bar in order to access the small penthouse space where suiting up and training take place.<\/p>\n

Costumes? Si. In addition to the standard bright orange jumpsuits, you can leap out of the hotel dressed as Spiderman, Captain America, Santa Claus or Cat Woman, masks included. Why? Who cares?<\/p>\n

\"Urban<\/a><\/p>\n

I serendipitously found myself watching a Spiderman launch himself out of the penthouse yesterday afternoon, while out with Gravity\u2019s office manager, Jill Benton. She had a hunch this would be right up my alley, and sure enough, I soon found myself zipping up a jumpsuit (no heroic attire; I just wanted to survive the experience; the view from the top, at right).<\/p>\n

In all seriousness, Gravity\u2019s guide\/instructors are experienced employees and the equipment is all top-of-the-line. I\u2019ve done a bit of climbing and abseiling, but never have I contemplated a face-first rappel, let alone in the middle of a bustling city. In fact, I have a deathly fear of jumping off of or out of things in urban areas (because, you know, death hurts less when you\u2019re out in nature).<\/p>\n

After strapping on my helmet and having my harnesses fitted, instructor Andrea did some practice maneuvers, first on the ground and then on a six-foot wall (right). When I felt ready to bail out that window, it was at first tentatively, and not very gracefully. Having hundreds of spectators on the ground didn\u2019t do much to increase my performance anxiety.<\/p>\n

\"Urban<\/a><\/p>\n

While my technique may have been a Fail (I weigh just under 100 pounds, and that made it difficult for me to hop my way down, rather than roll), it was a total blast. The free fall was definitely one of my adventure activity lifetime highlights: few things can beat plummeting at warp speed upon the Easter shoppers of La Paz.<\/p>\n

A half-hour later, still trembling with adrenalin (which is why my photo of the hotel, below, is crooked), I was headed back to my hostel across Plaza San Francisco, an uncontrollable smile on my face. Bolivia certainly has no shortage of outdoor adventure sports, but should you find yourself with a little afternoon downtime in La Paz, you\u2019d be simply crazy not to take a flying leap out of the Hotel Presidente.<\/p>\n

\"Urban<\/a><\/p>\n

Urban Rush, 1-5 p.m., daily; book in advance or just drop by the hotel, at Potos\u00ed St., 920. It\u2019s just $20 for one drop, $30 for two (note that due to fluctuating exchange rates these prices may change).<\/p>\n

Backpacking: a guide to classic and new must-do experiences<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are lots of classic must-dos for the round-the-world tripper but diving with crocs, abseiling like Spider-Man and cooking iguanas are just a few of the newest activities to add to the list.<\/p>\n

Classic Cycling the “world’s most dangerous road”; cholita wrestling in La Paz; photos on the salt flats; the silver mines in Potos\u00ed to give miners coca leaves and dynamite.<\/p>\n

New At Urban Rush, travellers dress up as Spider-Man, Captain America or Catwoman and step off a 50m-high ledge in central La Paz, to abseil, face first, and then freefall, from the 17th floor, for 140 Bolivianos (\u00a313). New Air Europa flights into Bolivia touch down in Santa Cruz, a city low on backpackers’ lists. But more and more are discovering nearby Samaipata, with its excellent hiking, ancient ceremonial site and condor-spotting opportunities. It’s also the gateway to Parque Nacional Ambor\u00f3, which has more species of birdlife than any protected area in the world, so could become the new Rurrenabaque (the base town for trips into the Bolivian Amazon). Ben Verhoef Tours has trips.<\/p>\n

La Paz to Lima: Inca culture, adrenalin thrills and dressing up as Spider-Man<\/strong><\/p>\n

22nd Oct 2013 1:21am | By Andrew Westbrook<\/em><\/p>\n

Peace out<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019m starting my trip, however, with the city\u2019s two main adrenalin challenges \u2013 one old, one new. Up first is one of the planet\u2019s most famous backpacking experiences \u2013 cycling down the world\u2019s most dangerous road.<\/p>\n

Given that label by the Inter-American Development Bank in 1995, due to the horrific number of fatal accidents, this stretch of the La Paz to Coroico road is thankfully not what it once was, due to a recent highway taking much of the traffic elsewhere, but it still makes for a white knuckle ride.<\/p>\n

Starting at a shivery altitude of 4,700m, we bump and slide down the mainly gravel road, dropping almost 3,600m in the space of a few hours, desperately avoiding the sheer barrier-less drops, hoping there\u2019s no oncoming traffic on the blind corners, averting our eyes when passing the numerous crosses and above all, trying to remember the wise words of our guide, \u201cJust try not to ride like a wanker.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fortunately, we\u2019re wanker-free and succeed, reaching the bottom elated, exhausted and totally unprepared for the even scarier bit \u2013 driving back up the mountain to La Paz in the dark.<\/p>\n

Next is an altogether different challenge. I\u2019m to dress up as Spider-Man and jump out of a 17th floor window. Yes, you read that right. One of the newest and most amusing thrills on offer in Latin America is Urban Rush, which involves donning a superhero outfit before stepping, face first, out of a central La Paz building, 50m above the ground, for an abseiling\/freefalling combo, all while some very bemused Bolivians look up from below. Equal measures terrifying and hilarious, I\u2019m relieved it\u2019s only the views that are to die for.<\/p>\n

What to do: The Chaskis Hop, from La Paz to Lima, with Green Toad (www.greentoadbus.com) costs from \u00a3263. Biking the world\u2019s most dangerous road with Gravity Bolivia (www.gravitybolivia.com) costs from \u00a365. Urban Rush (www.urbanrushbolivia.com), in La Paz, costs \u00a313.<\/p>\n

Where to sleep: Beds at the Adventure Brew Hostel (www.theadventurebrewhostel.com) in La Paz cost from \u00a34. Rooms at Hostal Las Olas (www.hostallasolas) cost from \u00a310pp. Beds at HI Inka Pacha (www.hihostels.com) on Isla Del Sol cost from \u00a33.50.

\u2018Rap-jumping\u2019, un negocio lleno de adrenalina<\/strong><\/p>\n

El \u2018rap-jumping\u2019 se ha convertido en novedad en La Paz, Bolivia.<\/p>\n

Una pareja de turistas israel\u00edes se dispone a descender por las paredes de un hotel en La Paz.<\/p>\n

\u00c9l va vestido como el Hombre Ara\u00f1a y ella como Gat\u00fabela, y por unos minutos podr\u00e1n sentirse superh\u00e9roes.<\/p>\n

\u201cCreo que estamos locos\u201d, dice ella a su novio antes de descender 50 metros, los \u00faltimos 20 en ca\u00edda libre, en lo que se conoce como \u2018rap-jumping\u2019, un deporte extremo que en la capital boliviana se practica a 3.600 metros sobre el nivel del mar y con vista de calles coloniales y nevados andinos.<\/p>\n

\u201cEs lo m\u00e1s extremo que he hecho, estoy demasiado nerviosa\u201d, dice exultante Shir Cohen, de 21 a\u00f1os, exrecluta del ej\u00e9rcito de su pa\u00eds, al llegar a tierra. \u201cHe hecho paracaidismo y \u2018bungee\u2019, pero esto fue muy divertido, mi coraz\u00f3n est\u00e1 latiendo muy fuerte\u201d, cuenta tras un descenso boca abajo en 2,54 minutos, sujetada a una cuerda.<\/p>\n

Tras ella baja su enamorado, Liron Sitrek, guardia de seguridad. \u201cEs grandioso, es lo mejor que hecho en mi vida, es muy excitante y divertido\u201d, asegura.<\/p>\n

El \u2018rap-jumping\u2019, que instal\u00f3 en La Paz el estadounidense Derren Patterson, de 27 a\u00f1os, es una mezcla de las palabras \u2018rapel\u2019, descenso de superficies verticales con cuerdas y arneces, y la inglesa \u2018jumping\u2019 (saltar).<\/p>\n

\u201cEl rapel es el descenso en posici\u00f3n de sentado, pero el \u2018rap-jumping\u2019 es de frente, el cuerpo debe estar en posici\u00f3n horizontal, boca abajo. Al bajar se pueden hacer saltos hasta la parte final, dice Patterson, uno de los principales socios de la compa\u00f1\u00eda boliviana Urban Rush.<\/p>\n

HASTA ABAJO<\/strong><\/p>\n

El descenso se realiza desde un piso 17, en la parte posterior de un c\u00e9ntrico hotel de La Paz, hasta una terraza met\u00e1lica, especialmente habilitada.<\/p>\n

Los \u00faltimos 20 metros, en ca\u00edda libre, se realizan a una velocidad aproximada de 10 metros por segundo, y se frena bruscamente muy cerca del piso.<\/p>\n

La persona es sujetada por dos cuerdas: una agarra al aventurero y la otra sirve como seguridad. Ambas pueden soportar hasta 1.500 kilos. Adem\u00e1s, varios juegos de arneses entrelazados entre el pecho y la espalda dan mayor certeza.<\/p>\n

\u201cEs espectacular, impresionante, es un gran espect\u00e1culo\u201d, dice desde una calle vecina el boliviano Mario Ticona, tras observar lo que est\u00e1 ocurriendo.<\/p>\n

\u201cS\u00e9 que se hace \u2018rap-jumping\u2019 en Australia, pero es \u00fanico en Bolivia, y es \u00fanico en un edificio de tanta altura\u201d, agrega el empresario norteamericano.<\/p>\n

En la empresa trabajan como gu\u00edas de seguridad varios bolivianos, entre ellos Andr\u00e9s Thellaeche, de 22 a\u00f1os, y Fernanda Agreda, de 24. Ella es adem\u00e1s rescatista de una unidad de voluntarios que apoya a la polic\u00eda de Bomberos.<\/p>\n

Ambos se encargan de dar instrucciones b\u00e1sicas a los aventureros de c\u00f3mo colocarse los cascos y usar guantes de cuero, c\u00f3mo descender y c\u00f3mo colocar el cuerpo sobre la pared, usar las manos y c\u00f3mo soltar o ajustar las cuerdas.<\/p>\n

Como si no fuera suficiente estar parado a tanta altura, el equipo suma nerviosismo a la aventura y sube el volumen de una m\u00fasica rock que aumenta el cl\u00edmax.<\/p>\n

Patterson relata que tuvo como clientes desde un ni\u00f1o boliviano de 12 a\u00f1os hasta un anciano de 60 a\u00f1os, a mediados del a\u00f1o pasado. \u00bfCu\u00e1nto cuesta el descenso?<\/p>\n

\u201cPor una \u00fanica vez cobramos 140 bolivianos (unos 20 d\u00f3lares) y por dos veces 200 bolivianos (unos 28,7 d\u00f3lares)\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cEs una ganga para tener tanta adrenalina\u201d, dice Patterson mientras sonr\u00ede con picard\u00eda.<\/p>\n
