To anyone with experience with the banshee bungees, are they worth the cost? (i.e. around 200-300 bucks) I've seen several reviews where people said they were dangerous and broke quickly. Thoughts?

They’re fun and work well for their intended purpose. Safer to use than a winch IMO due to the speed differences

Buy one you will not regret it. The amount of stupid things that can be done outside of using it to ski is insane. Only reason mine snapped is we had 15 guys stretch it up a sand dune with a slip n slide on it. The possibilities are endless buy one!

I knew a guy who bought one and never ended up using it for skiing. But he would come up with all sorts of dumb ways to use it. He liked to use it to shoot watermelons down his street. Definitely worth it

I got mine off someone on NS for like 75 bucks a few years ago, and it’s been great!! I guess the risk of buying used is you don’t know what it’s been through, but I’d do it again

They're quite expensive for what they are but they do exactly what they're intended to do quite well

I own one myself and although it is kind of pricey it works really well. My handle kind of broke after a while but that's what you get when it slams into whatever you tied it around numerous times. It is a lot of fun and gives you a lot of possibilities.

I have a 10 foot bungee I’ve used twice for urban. Perfect condition. Dm me if you’re interested in saving some money

10 ft bungees don't do anything, gotta go with the 20 footer or bigger. I've been able to pull a 20 footer by myself to get enough speed for a rail.
