Winches

So in may ski movies/ edits I see these huge urban setups that I can't imagine being made possible without the help from a winch. This year my crew and I did as much urban possible with a 10ft banshee bungee but are for sure ready for an upgrade to bigger and better setups. I wanted to know if in all of the sick urban setups you see in these edits are from winches made themselves or winches they purchased? Or If they're made by themselves, how do you make one?(Video links, parts needed, is it do-able yourself?) Or if they're purchased where are they getting them from? Also in the end cost is a biggy so if you do have a good response for me please include that, thanks.

Also would a 20ft banshee bungee be a better investment and get the job done just as well?

I hear that 20ft bungies are useless. Keep your 10ft and buy/make a winch.

Winches are fucking expensive. So unless you are hoodrich (like me) i would go about trying to find some old Honda lawnmower 4stroke engine and make your own.

whinch will work the best but if you cant afford one(they are expensive to buy) or skilled enough to make one (need experience with motors) then buy a 20ft banshee bungee and add it to your 10ft for even more pull than just a normal 20ft

I have a 20ft and it works fine for rails with only one person pulling it I think if you got 4 or 5 guyss pulling then you should be able to hit some pretty good stuff
