Duct tape at it's best. I'd leave the bungees to the manufacturers if you want a durable and reliable option.

Thats not going to work....The reason it works on skates is because you have like zero starting friction. Also you might as well just have someone push you instead compared to the power you'll get from those.

My suggestion: Use medical tubing (the tan shit used to stop bleeding or to tie off for some h) and coil it up like the banshee bungee.

When one of those breaks and snaps a kid across the face, what are you going to due about the lawsuit from you defective product?

Sorry but those look super sketchy. make one for yourself but dont try and sell them at that rdiculous price.

sorry man, but i don't see that working very well, the bungee seems too thin, and after a few pulls it could possibly break. and the duct tape/packaging tape seems sketchy. try to work on a few things and make it better, then update your thread with the new version.

 really ghetto and use bicycle tire inner tubes! it works great, 3-5 bucks a tube, buy about 10-15 of them and then braid them together, i have used them before in my backyard, never snaps unless your an idiot

honestly man, just stop before you sell one to some 12 year old on here, it snaps and injures him and your stuck in a lawsuit.

THAT LOOKS SUUUPER SKETCHY. Your setup WILL break after only a few pulls and someone will get hurt. To All you cheapasses out there....stop being cheap. Just buy a Banshee Bungee. There is a reason why they are no competing products, only certain materials are durable enough to hold up to continued stretches. A lot of product testing went into the design of the Banshee so that it can withstand the forces put on it. Please do not try to ghetto rig a Banshee setup trying to save a couple bucks. It wont be worth it WHEN you get injured

We don't need to see an edit. It may work great, but its made with bungee cords, glue and tape. Cool idea for your own use, but not a very good product to sell IMO.

Yes a product needs to be manufactured or built in some way.



Not jimmy rigged from generic bungee chords.
