20 feet.. its better to have more speed than not enough speed but you might not have the space to go back 20 feet

na, the rubber is tough. Multiple people have run over my bungee with sharp edges and mine still works fine.

Buy the 20 and just wrap it.

The 20ft is far more useful.

To sum up this thread: Size matters, and bigger is ALWAYS better.

Get the 20, and if it's ever to long to use, just wrap it around whatever your attaching it to until its at a better length

This. You dont realize how much space you will need until you stretch that baby back.

I found the best way is to ancor the bungee infront of what you are hitting. So if you made a jump, and there was a tree 10 feet past it, ancor the bungee to that.

there's the 15 ft if you have the original one presented at ISPO BrandNew Award for first, not the Banshee, 'cause patent pending is by Gravitis, other brands in Italy are already reported, find the 2013 models at www.gravitis.net or the new season 2014 models here https://www.facebook.com/pages/Gravitis/172795249420140?fref=ts
