Mini terrain improvement

OK, so every year I have to buy 2 or 3 new pairs of gloves because the rope pull in the mini-terrain rips my gloves to shit.  Last year I barely used the mini terrain and just went entirely audition because I bought some sick oakley gloves, so I ask can PNS please put some handles on the rope so it doesn't rip every pair of gloves I own?

I hardly ever go in the mini, but as it's great for learning stuff on a smaller scale, I think that one of the things they desperately need over there would be handles on the rope. I honestly dont think this kind of thing would even be that expensive, and it would undoubtedly help space people out on the rope and prevent rope slipout and the like.

I don't see why it hasn't been taken care of already.

Yes! I don't think it would be all that hard to add them in.

For real dude. I dont think they could though because the rope wraps around the drum that it spins on twice so the bars would get all caught up in it, but Im not sure. I went to a mountain in WV last year that had one with bars and it was so much nicer.

Could probably be easily remedied with a guide thing around the wheel that keeps the handles in the right position

Shit, I would be happy with a knot every few feet so my hand doesn't slip at least.

they would probably have to redo the whole thing for handles.

knot idea isnt bad though ^

Not a bad idea...

I wonder if that would make the rope slip more on the wheel housing or not...

Really that whole rope needs replaced/rebuilt, but I don't know if anything like that is in the plans or not. I don't think handles are possible without said rebuilding. Knots could work, but would probably require a new, bigger rope and I don't know if that would help with the slipping problem either. But yeah, i know that it sucks.
