I think it depends on the set up. If you are hitting something with alot of room to get speed or if its unstable ground, a banshee bungee would be better. If you have a somewhat tight space thats level, a drop in would be better. You can also get wayyyyyy more speed with a banshee bungee.

i would use a drop in any day over a bungee, but sometimes the bungee is necessary and is the only option.

ive always preferred drop ins but sometimes a bungee is probably necessary. ive never used one while skiing but anything's better than being pole-whipped..

as an owner of a banshee bungee for two years, I can safely say that bungees honestly suck, people only use them because they're the only feasible option to get speed in a small area, I'd take the natural feel of a drop in over a bungee any day

Dude the Banshee Bungee is awesome, I would take it over a drop in ramp any day. On numerous occasions the Banshee has saved me from getting ticketed by the cops. You just bury the banshee under the snow, its hard to cover up a drop in ramp.

For a simple handrail a drop-in is way easier and cheaper. I just got a 20 ft bungee and plan to use it more for wall rides,gaps,taps,up rails and pretty much any feature where a drop in is useless.

Bungee for sure, unless you have a trailer to haul a drop in, they take up too much room....obviously a bungee wont work if you dont have enough room to extend it

depends on the setup your doing
but if a drop in can be used
always go with the drop in
the dropin give you the same speed each shot , with no effort
the bungee gets so much effort that you stop being productive way earlier than with a drop
