Google has not provided the goods when it comes to information or "how-to's" on urban tow ropes.
New to the whole newschoolers Thang...

So help a gal out and give me all your knowledge on types of generators, ropes and whatever else I should consider when building/investing in these things.

Again I'm looking for something to use as a tow rope for urban riding.

Thanks!

Much love ☀️

when I was researching them I looked for Wake winch stuff rather than ski winch. I’m not 100% sure but I think winching is more common in the wakeboard/wakeskate world so if you search on those terms you might have more luck

you can use a winch, bungee, or portable drop in.

you can build a bungee by folding/braiding an appropriate amount of bungee/shock cord (https://www.amazon.com/100-FT-Shock-Cord-BLK/dp/B001P6DJPQ/ref=sr_1_sc_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1420594001&sr=8-1-spell&keywords=3%2F8+inch+shock+chord) and attaching it to a handle with rope or a carabiner. pretty straightforward but you might need to play with how much you fold/braid it to get the amount of pull that you want.

Instead of going out on a winch with all your money I’d recommend just building a solid wooden drop in that can fit in your car
