Urban Troubles

My friends and I have been finding some good urban places and rails but are never able to get speed to hit them. A bungee would be nice but they are pretty expensive. Any substitutes for a bungee or any tips on urban spots?

Drop ins (natural or homemade), cars, snowmobiles/4wheelers, pole-pulls, pump tracks

get creative with it

you can try to put a long rope with a handle through an object near the lip of your rail and then attach said rope to a car, quad, etc. kind of simulating a winch. this would usually be for features requiring max speed tho..

build a drop in, i like hitting rails with a drop in more than with a bungee. bungee's are nice, but you get incredibly tired a lot quicker since you have to pull those son's of bitches back.

Make a drop in that you can take from spot to spot (they dont have to be huge. 5 feet tall and steep should do the trick) then, when youre at a spot, build pump tracks under the drop in and you'll be golden.
