Thought this could be a easy to solve carrying a drop in around or the ever dangerous car hood ride in

i made one using five of those thick black bungee cords, and instead of using the hooks we bolted them together with nuts and washers and everything. yet to try it out, but ours looks pretty solid and i think it will work

make sure you record every attempt, you could end up winning some money on break.com or something

thats a sick idea, until 2 minutes happens, but that would be even less of a problem on skis

building a massive drop in isn't to terribly hard either.

I like that better honestly, especially if you want a down rail. And if your just building something small, a little 4 to 6 foot ramp will be plenty of speed.

yeah I dont know what would be more practical... 10 or 20 feet...
im thinking, at worst with 20 feet I'll just tie it to something further, but with a 10 footer, it might be more practical to in tight spots
opinions?

this is in the "how to" cult, you can do it out of old inner tubes braided together. I am going to do this soon, i will post some vids once i do it
