Me and my friends are splitting on getting a tow in bungee but they come in two different sizes. Should i do 10 feet or 20 feet? I also dont really know how long a foot is as we use meters here in Norway.

The small one will give you plenty of speed for most rails and jibs.

I juts bought a 20 footer! So stoked to try it out. Pretty sure the 10 footer is good for any handrail and stuff like that. But the 20 footer will let you do pretty much anything. It can get you going up to 60 km/h or something like that. 10 footer is like 45 km/h

True. The 20 footer would probably let you hand drag the top of gazebos and bigger stuff like that.

But if youre just hitting handrails or drops the 10 foot one is probably fine.

does anyone know how far back you need to pull the 10 foot one to hit a typical handrail?

I think youd probably just have to feel it out

I am thinking of getting this one. COuld you possibly post a short video seeing how fast you can go. I want to see if you can go fast enough to do wallrides and stuff.

I would if there was snow on the ground.... But for sure you would have plenty speed for a wallride

The banshee bungee can stretch up to 7 times its length, it will take a couple people helping you to get it that far though. So that means the 10 ftr can stretch 70 feet and the 20 ft package 140 ft.

1m =3feet

20 feet bungee cost more than the 10
20 feet bungee gives you more freedom to do fancy things
