I had the same decision to make last year, and I chose the banshee bungee, only to regret it later. While it is a nice product, it's a lot harder to use than they make it look, and unless you have a lot of people with you to pull it back, you don't get much speed. I'd recommend the GoPro, especially since they just released the HDHERO2

Gopro. Consider this..... If you get the banshee bungee you can hit some urban...but nothing to prove that you did it !

get the GoPro. in the end, you'll probably want to have a nice HD camera to document skiing and make edits. the banshee bungee might be ok, but urban is a lot harder than it looks.

Yeah bungees can be a pain when you're hitting something with only a few people. You can always buy the gopro and than make a drop in ramp for urban or get all your friends to throw down on a bungee later on

Why the fuck couldn't you make this decision your self? Are you that reliant on outside influence to make up your weak consumer mind?

 GoPro, my friend has a Banshee Bunjee and it just wears out quick, its fun, When the Bunjee goes you cant get anything for it, If you decide you dont want the GoPro anymore at least you can get some money back.

go with the banshee bungee and a couple gopro mounts, then tell all your friends who have gopro's but no bungees that they can use your bungee if you can use their gopro....profit.
