You think the Banshee Bungee is worth the money? Any other bungee stuff you'd rather recommend?

Definitely worth it if you are going to be using it! Works out awesome, but get the 20 ft, not the 10ft, much more versatile.

Don't get a 10 foot you need 3 people + skier to pull it back far enough to get decent speed. 20 foot is so much easier.
