Hey NS, I tried urban skiing last year with my buddies and this year we want to go further into it. We are looking to buy a banshee bungee but aren't sure what size. If you guys could help me out and letting me know if I should buy the 10 or 2@ foot bungee.

Thanks,
Drew

Dependa on what kind of urban you are doing. Like big gap jumps or handrails. If its just rails the 10 ft should be fine.

Thanks! Aren't there different bungees that come in the package? Like the yellow cord?

10ft is useless really. 20ft is worth the extra skrills

20ft, really hard to pull the 10ft if your not many, the 20ft one is easier to pull and is more versatile. you can get the speed of the 10ft easily with the longer one without having to pull as much, but can then get the extra juice of the 20ft if you need to. And dont worry about it being too big, if you really need the 20 to be short, you can double it up, tie it elsewhere, tie it starting only at half mark, ... 20ft is my suggestion from experience

Yeah 20 is the way to go. I tried em both out and the 20 was definetly easier to pull.

You 'should' get the original one first, patent pending is by Gravitis, other brands in Italy are reported for examples, see this https://www.facebook.com/pages/Gravitis/172795249420140?fref=ts

I personally have the 20 ft and it works great, not too hard to pull back if you are just one person pulling too. Go big and get the 20 because you will likely have regrets a week after you buy the 10 ft.

I'm looking in to getting one too. Couple questions

-with the 10 ft one couldn't you just make it longer by tying a rope to one end?

No, you could tie 100ft of rope to one end and you'll still only have 10ft of bungee cord.

I know this but let's say you want to start the inrun 20ft away but only have a 10 ft bungee. Couldn't you tie one end of a 10 ft rope to the feature, then tie the other end of the rope to the bungee? Or is it just a matter of needing more bungee to get more speed, not how far it will stretch
