Bungee - The mobile setup tutorial

Well you could drill a hole into a dowel and then thread the bungee ends though, or just thread it though a piece of PVC.
 
yea but how would you tie it even if you did thread it through a dowel or pvc or a bar of some sort. making it securely attached to the handle is my question
 
I think it took me about 9

I would say go with some of the other materials posted in this thread they will probably be cheaper and better
 
I tried this and it hardly gave me any speed. And took 3 people to pull back far enough to even move. Could this have possibly been because I cut mountain bike tires in half instead of thirds?
 
I would suggest using some of the other materials suggested. It seems that there are very few tire tubes that have the right stretch and power.
 
of the surgical tubing? do you think it will have enough elasticity to pull you? because i think the shock cord is the bungee cord, only problem is it is really thin, so you would need to know how to braid with 4-8 pieces of the shock cord... let me know what you decide and how it works out
 
we should start testing these to find out what works the best. i just tie a a rope to my pit bull and throw stick past the rail and have him pull me in.the vid jwenz put up people wher just pulling him he wasnt tied to anything, i dont think.
 
at my physical therapy they some resistance bands. the bands are paper thin 4in wide and 6ft long, the bands come in different colors the colors represent different resistance weight.i think there rubber but seem like they would work for this.
 
just fineshed mine here it is. 13 feet unstretched, 23 feet stretched and it gives a good bit of speed. used mountain and road bike tubes. for the handle i just used a piece of pvc and a rope through it with knots on either side

That's looks pretty nice. I am also a biker so I will try that out. I would like to see a video on how it works though, before I start to put it together
 
In the video, seemed to work well, but i would not want to be that guy pulling every time. And plus when you let go, the bungee almost hits him in the head.

I like the idea of the bike tires, just worried it would coast alot to make if you can't get free tubing...
 
woruld shock cord streach enough? because most of the youtube videos ive watched have chosen it. i think it would work better than rubber tubing in the cold, because of the fabric coating around the fibers.
