i dunno...i kind of think $115 US is a good price to pay if it means a good quality bungy that wont break and take your head off. $115 is cheap, considering ours cost us $350 AUD to get it here to australia

A winch, little more expensive. I would stick with the bungee because a winch is some serious speed and you probably won't hit anything that you need that much speed.
