no.
We use one for skimboarding and it only takes two people to pull back and one to hold it while the other guy gets the board ready to go.

The Banshee Bungee is awesome!! So easy to use....just anchor lead line to any feature with a caribeaner. Have a friend pull the bungee back and get launched at 35mph.

If you guys want one contact me.. I rep the line.

really easy to set up, the one we use for skimming was $150, and it provides ample speed for that.

4bi9 used one all last year.  It's pretty dope, and not that difficult to use.  We always had two or three people pulling it back, and one person ready to rip.  It gets the job done.

I bought one of those last summer, and broke it skim boarding because we stretched it too hard....

It was shit because we had to pay shipping and duty (because I live in Canada), and then after we broke it, we didn't bother to try to get it fixed because of the cost of sending it back.

When we bought ours it was in Banshee's early days and there was only one model.

We only skim boarded with it, but whenever we used it we stretched it as hard as it could go... maybe the new model is a bit more durable.

If you just get the standard one I would be careful as to how much you stretch it otherwise the part that hooks up to the carabiner starts to fray and eventually breaks off (as did in my case).

so i just sessioned a nice 25ft flat rail last night with a banshee bungee.  i was pretty impressed with how well it worked, we adjusted the length and tension for the appropriate speed and had one kid hold it back for the rider.  definitely got the job done on a completely flat inrun with barely any snow.  i think it'd really come in handy for urbans when there's not much snow around or a hill

I got one and have been skateboarding with it, It's so fun and super burly. It will for sure open up a whole lot more possibilities for urban, you can get it to pull you soo fast.

These things kick ass, just got one recently and I am loving it. So many possibilities...

I looked around quite a bit and the cheapest place to buy seems to be direct from the company plus if you are in the US shipping is free. Their website is BansheeBungee.com
