Have you ever used a banshee bungee (or a dyi one that would have the same strength/stretchness) with only 2 people? So one guy (in ski boots) and the other guy on skis?

Inb4 dont buy the banshee just make one yourself, i just wanna know if a friend and i will be able to use an efficient bungee like the banshee or it'll be too hard to pull. Will making a quick release system help if not?

Banshee with 3 people (1 on skis, two pulling is a bitch), so unless you are jacked, just save the trouble and get a winch

He's got it right. It's a struggle with three people pulling it back for the smallest hand rail, if you're using a bungee, you either need a car or a crew to pull.

If you choose to do this don't be a dumbass and overstretch the bungee. If it breaks you don't want that coming back at you or whipping near you.

you can get more than enough speed for any flat or down handrail with 2 people pulling. i ve done one person pulling before but you can really only get enough speed for a down rail

It's doable but not even remotely fun with 2 people. Early season my friend and I set up a rail with an inch of snow on our flat yard with my 10ft. We got enough speed but after a few goes at it we were pooped.
