Better than a bungee and better than a winch.

hahaha this is awesome. Only issue is, what would you do with it after the run in? Just toss it aside or hold onto it while hitting the rail or jump? Also, this would be so fun to just terrorize cross-country trails with hahaa.

Not to be a little nebbie debbie, but there is no argument for this device to be better than a bungee or winch. Those devices are for entirely different types of skiing. Vanular, (Corey Vanular!?) Is right, there is no way you could use this for urban in any scenario, nor would you bungee or winch yourself "up," a mountain.
