    Default WTF is that bungee thing

    hey guys.

    what the LOL is that bungee balance thing called where you tight it between two posts or trees.

    ive been meaning to look into it but can't remember the hip name for it.

    p.s. unrelated but my fantastic board is in the press and i cant wait to post on it this weekend

    you don't use a bungee, you need a climbing rope ideally.

    all you need is a rope you can tie fairly tight between 2 objects, then you walk on it.

    dude you could easily get one up for $50. i'm looking at making one, 5 carabiners (ovals are about $5 a piece) and webbing is cheap... all you need man.

    Looks sweet, those knots look like a bitch though! Really should take a course in knot tying. That'd be like +1 man points.
