I really want to find and hit some urban spots this year. What is the best way to get a bungee since banshee bungee went out of business. Should I build one or is there a different company?

I've been looking everywhere for this, my shop has a few extension ropes left over from the old days, but I'm having a very hard time finding and old ones, or a good modern one. Makes me sad that urban skiing is on the decline outside of realski 😭

I wouldn't say it's on the decline. Maybe these last couple years' lack of snowfall and covid have made it less accessable but I feel like I see just as many new urban parts come out as I have previously.

Street skiing is most definitely not on the decline. There’s more emphasis on creativity, open mindedness to spot selection. There’s no shame in hitting a small street feature as long as you can do something unique on it.

That’s led to more and more people wanting to get out to make their own videos. Also don’t forget that Ontario shut down ski hills for an extended time this winter. There should be a lot of stuff coming out of there this year.

Could you braid a bungee out of the rubber bands people use for physical therapy?
