riverboarding

looking at there website the bungies streach too 200 ft so u could find a small bay tie it to 1 side walk with the bungie to the other jump on the board the board and get a 30mph ride!it be good for those days with no wind

rather than use it on an idylic river reserved for ents and british moths, use it on mud:

if you put the whole bungee skim board thing on some nice slippy mud it would probably go alot faster for longer without sinking (unless it was REALY soft mud). i suggest somewhere on the east coast.

TT, thanks so much for the reply.    As for "Three Men in a Boat", do we really know that gay was not used in it's more modern sense (vis a vis the homosexual community) by Jerome K Jerome.  The storyline and situation would appear entirely apt.

I agree with your Riverboarding comments and observations on bungees. I am not a real man however, based on the listed activities.   Which is not that disappointing to me, fortunately.

Originally posted by turnturtle Well for one; it's totally 'gay' to do anything with a bungee cord other than strap your spars to a roof rack or trailer.  [Anyone about to jump to the defence of other bungee-corded activities can step away from the keyboard now please- real men, rrraahhh; don't bungee jump; they sky dive; base jump or climb rocks using ropes with a maximum stretch of say 50%]

So I take you don't have any bungee in you boat, cause your a REAL MAN. therefore wooden hiking straps for you ( pre seat belt webbing) cuase they require no bungee cord and traps are out for you too.

Can someone over there please ensure his is being a real man, I can post the scissors.
