Looking for a cheap way to make an urban bungee to hit small basic rails (dfd, kink etc). I don't need that much speed and looking to spend under 100$. Any ideas?

I've made homemade ones from thick bungee cord my buddy's dad got us and no matter what we did they never compared too the banshee I own now

Is the banshee worth the 200$?

Just make a winch if you really wanna go fast. Harbor freight 212cc motors run like $100 and you'll have all the speed you need for most things. Bungees are pretty sketch to make considering you can get seriously hurt if it snaps, and an actual banshee bungee, while fine for most handrails, aren't great for getting a lot of speed.

I was planning to make my own for some extra speed into my backyard rails, still might end up doing that since it's way cheaper than a banshee. What's the best banshee bungee length that one person could pull some decent tension out of?

208cc and it might not be the same size but damn, even the 212cc is only like $175 new. Curious if anybody reading this has built a winch before, what's the metal enclosure cost to build?
