I know this guy who said he'd sell me his bungee for 125$ original 350$. I don't know who much urban I'll be doing this year but I'd like to go quite a bit. I'm not the greatest at skiing either. Would it be worth it or should I just make drop ins?

If it's not sketchy I'd go for it.

You say you're not a great skier. Well, there's one way to improve: Go out and do it. You will get better with experience. Don't be afraid to try new things at this stage.


I must say, investing in a few lessons of how to properly ski will help your mountain awareness immensely, if you are interested in doing that.

Buy it! Banshee did not have the patent or some shit so they went out of business, or something like that... So it might be a good investment to buy one and sell it in a year or two when they are almost impossible to buy, profit!

or you could just make one for cheap. that's what i did. works like a charm. there's a thread on here that describes how to make it and what you need. i'm at school right now so i don't have the link. look it up though

When I bought my 20 foot bungee a year or two back I believe that I paid $200. I feel like this was worth it as I have gotten two going on three seasons out of it, but it depends on the person.
It might be best to go out and get the feel of urban with drop ins first before you spend that kind of money.

no somebody was injured or may have died because of Banshee bungee, family sued them and the company lost all their money
