Banshee bungee substitute

[128368798788]

Has anybody used anything that might replicate a banshee bungee for urban spots? Me and some homies are trying to slay a rail but the in ramp doesn't get you enough speed and we cant find anybody with a bungee so I was wondering if anybody on here might have used a substitute or know of anything that might suffice. At this point i'm almost ready to just throw some bungee cords together but i'd like to avoid the possibility of dying from snap back or some shit. Thoughts please!

Rubber bands work great! But seriously, maybe try having your friends slingshot you might be a little sketch though

Richard that shit is epic and yeah, I think we might just get a fatty rope and sling it around a tree and hook it to a car. But still, I'd like to know for when there is no place for a car haha

Start shoveling?... build a snow drop in old school style and add a few small rollers to pump for that little bit of extra juice. It doesn't take much speed to hit a rail.

unless it is an uprail.

just made one out of cut and braided bike tubes. ive heard of them working well. ill report back in like May when the east coast finally gets snow

My friend built two 20ft sections out of braided/woven medical/industrial elastic bands, kinda like the shit from chemistry/physics in highschool except stronger and alot more durable.. works super nice and you can even hook up the sections end to end or double them up for a strong ass 20 ft section.

and by this i meant like medical tubing, the really stretchy shit

 

[crab_pretzel]

braided surgical tubing. look it up

 

[technique.]

i also heard the surgical tubing doesn't last long before it stretches out and loses elasticity

 

[CRiP]

threads. anyone try using bungee shock tubing?

Dont try braiding bungee chord together. I tried a few years ago and it doesnt work

 

[Clark_Griswold]

i feel like there is a funny story for this

here's your substituteView attachment 385796

 

[TACO-DOG.exe]

you can also replace "you" with a car and get way more speed

 

[Stose]

i think you mean replace your friend with a car. i just replace my friend with my dog

 

[Haellgren]

made my day.

 

[128368798788]

yeah thankfully for this spot we can do that but im replacing my friend with my car. But the Wench idea seems pretty solid but expensive and idk how the fuck to build that shit. I'll convince my dad or some shit but yeah this sucks. The only replacement seems to be a rope-pulley system or surgical braided tubing?

FUCK

 

[TACO-DOG.exe]

no i don't.

hook my car up to a rope and have my friend pull the car to hit the rail.

 

[ReignMan]

did that work cause i got a shity one i could make into a portable run in.

 

[DBL]

i made one with 3 20ft long bungee cords (shock cords) braided, its works very well

 

[theabortionator]

car tow in. friends tow in or you could build your own. Some different tutorials online

 

[CashmereCat]

So, I wasted 230$ on a bungee when I could've just done this?

 

[Swaggermager]

I'm sorry to say there isn't a funny story. It simply didnt work hahah

 

[douchebagmdgee]

sure did,
