Alternate for Banshee Bungie

If you ski urban or backyard rails, you most likely know what a banshee bungie is. I would like one to hit a rail me and my friends made. Problem is, I'm not paying 250 for one. Anyone know of a different company or how to make a good alternative for a lot cheaper?

I've always been pretty sketched out by homemade bungees... I think theres a couple 10 foot bungees for sale in the B/S/T though so check that out

I think there's a thread on how to build one in the Build a Jib cult.

-attach to electromagnet
-electromagnets will pull edges

Build a winch? If you have an engine laying around its super easy and cheap. You don't need as many people to operate it either

Read something about this. Now I just need to find some and test it out. Banshee bunnies are just way too expensive.

I build a giant snow drop in for the rails in my backyard. It takes a while and is a lot of work, but it does the jobx

ayy me too. Never see snow drop-in pics on here, ever.

OP, unless you're out hitting the city, I don't think a bungee is necessary.
