Bungee Raiser...

Unread postby baggettpv » Wed Jun 20, 2007 2:14 am

We have been testing a new bungee raiser that attaches to the standards. It is sweet. Makes raising the bungee in practice from 4 to 18 feet a simple pull of a cord. The final prototype coming in Thursday. Talk to anyone that trains with us as to how cool it is.
Anyone interested? Sort of a marketing test.

I get the latest version tomorrow. Price is around $300. All you do is bolt it to the top of the standard and tie off smooth climbing rope to connectors on the standard bases. Connect the bungee to a carabeaner on each side....viola. Pit heighth to as high as the standards go in a simple pull of the rope.

It's with the lawyers and manufacturing techs right now. The developer will have it out by the indoor season.

I and a few other of our club coaches saw this wonderful device in action on your DVD set - this looks like such a time saver. We want MANY of these :-)[/i]
