SL BANTAM CARBON HANDLE

Poo · Guest

i ride an accurate murray handle, i always liked the slimmer look on the side without the fatass floats. but its got some small floats that keep it slim, and its got a hard plastic shell around the rope to keep it from ever like twisting or w/e, i like this handle a lot.

The murry is really comfortable. Doesn't make your hand hurt after a lot of riding.

I've been using a Fly High handle made by barefoot international, for nearly 10 years it still in really good shape, it floats and it feels good. Also the Fly High handles usually cost a little less than some of the other brands.

handles are such a freaking rip off..... I have no idea how you kids afford all that crap... I've rocked the same handle for the last like 3-4 years now... I have a rope that i "borrowed" from a friend and its beat...... So i guess what i'm asking is Why do you guys buy new handles and ropes ? Cause you need them or just cause you like having them ? I'm not hating and i think that the better you look and feel the better you ride.... and i know that it feels good to have new stuff but do you guys actually need it ?

i agree handles are pricey for what they are, but i cant ride with a handle that is broken in half, therefore i have to buy one...

ive had my murray for a few years now, bought it cuz we toook the floats and cheater bar off my oold hardline and just tied it back together, one day the knot broke and i dropped the handle and she sank extra quick down like 30 feet, so then i roode with a piece of shizzle that tore my hands up until i got the murray.
