I was thinking about building a ramp to get speed for urban, but theyre not very mobile. And banshee bungees are overpriced. Anyone know how to make a bungee?

If you build the tower so that it is collapsable it should make it fairly portable. Also, if heard of people who string ruber tubing from doctors offices together but ive never actually seen one so i cant vouch for that.

Idk man, bungees work AMAZINGLY, you can use them for so kinds many urban features its just amazing, I feel like urban skiing/boarding would be nowhere near the level it is at today if no one ever invented the bungee.

I definetely think they are worth the money, and I haven't really seen anyone able to make something similar without spending a good amount of cash.

I've tried this, it doesn't work very well, not near as much stretch/rebound that a banshee has.
