Alright so i used searchbar but found nothing relating to my question. My question is what is the better length of banshee bungee? the 10ft one or the 20ft one? just would like to know which one is better for the amount of speed you can get with each one.

Thanks NS

I would say 10 should be fine.

Are you only hitting rails or are you going to be doing some other urban features too?

I own a 10 ft one and It'll give you sufficient speed for down rails or 15-20ft of flat rail, but if your hitting a jump/wallride of any sort or any bigger-ish features I would definitely go for the 20 footer

Yea, i mean i used a 20 footer the other day for a box and it worked good, but it just had to be tied down a lot further away

I work at a longboardshop that carries them, and my experience with the 10ft one (at least with a longboard) was that it kind of sucked, didnt give that much speed, and was somewhat lame compared to the 20ft, just my 2 cents.

20, i have been told that 10s arent great in colder weather and dont stretch as well. and a 20 can be folded into a shorter bungee with the lead line.

get the 20. from my experience with them, the 10 foot lose a ton of energy once you get to max pull. but with the 20 footer it can still keep you moving for a lot longer.
and it 20 ft is too long for a certain application, you can totally tie of some of the bungee

we've even used them for cliff jumping. ill post the video if i can find it
