Ok, we got the 10 ft Banshee Bungee as a present to each other for Christmas. I'm wondering if anyone else has tried this product. We tried it today, and I am kind of frustrated! The problems we had were- 1) I could not pull it back far enough for Trav to get any speed. I'm a girl so I'm not naturally as strong as most guys, so that could be part of it. 2) He could pull it back plenty far for me, but it was almost impossible to hand off to me with that amount of tension. It literally felt like it was going to yank my arms off when I did take off on it! We might switch it for the 20 foot model, has anyone had any experience with this product?http://www.bansheebungee.com
Just as an add on to the review from yesterday, the 20ft bungee does indeed stretch easier than the 10 foot, and the release isn't as violent. Also a note, it is going to take 2 people to pull it to any kind of tension for a decent launch on flat ground. I recommend getting the quick release. If you can peek in the bag, check the handle. After some internet research it appears that you really have no idea which handle (there are 2 different ones) or how many you'll get. I see some people get 2 handles with the 20ft package, some don't. Some also get the wakeboard looking handle, and some get the fat strap handle.

Looks cool. Maybe it will break in over time?
Frosty you are right on that there isn't any snow yet. We have an accumulation total of 11″, and 7 of that came a month ago and melted. Our resorts, minus Killington, are only 10-15% open, with Killington making snow everywhere enough to be 25-30%. This time last year, I already had about 25 snow days on resort. This year I have zero. Everyone is just about charging full price for very little terrain, so it hasn't been worth it to go. We didn't get our season pass early this year like we have years before, and now we're wondering if we will get it at all. If they are still under 30% open by January 15th, it will be more cost effective to just buy lift tickets.And as for the bungee, the 20ft is highly recommended. We're going to play with it tonight and post some pictures. I'm not sure if it has a break in period or not. But if it does, th
