20 foot you can build more speed with a 20 than a 10

20, i know people with the 10, and apparently is just not worth it.

My friend got a 10, and really regrets not getting the twenty. For a good investment I would buy the 20 to give you speed for any kind of urban

I saw a thread on this before, and looked it up and saw some bungees people made, there just not the same, and most likely wouldn't be good in colder weather, Banshee Bungees are expensive but they will cause you far less trouble than one you built and are built right

Get a 20 if you want to hit any kind of jump/quarter/larger urban hit. The 10's are fine for little rails and that's about it.

i've always wondered about buying a couple of those resistance bands and like braiding them like they banshee and just using those? would that be strong enough if you got high tension ones?

IF you are wanting to hit a kicker/jump/gap/wallride get the 20. If it is just rails, save yourselfthe money and get the 10

I have a 20 ft bungee there is a lot of speed potential but if you need a lot of speed you need a lot of people it is a pain in the ass to pull back even though it may seem easy.

For people with smaller frames/lighter weight the 10ft should work just fine especially for rails and smaller features, but like a lot of other posters have said on this thread, the 20ft is more versatile. It can do everything the 10 can, by adjusting the length of the lead line or reducing the length you pull it back.

wiscoboy96 is right though about needing more help to stretch the 20ft.

Also, from everything we have seen, people who try to make their own are not only putting themselves at a higher risk of it breaking and all that, but usually end up wasting time and money on something that doesn't do the trick.

can you pull it back far enough on your own to hit jumps?

pure hearsay, but ive heard a lot of people say the 10 "just isnt worth it." take that for what it's worth
