I might have given wrong impression...I use rope but didn't get rid of bungee...I wore out bungee and replaced it with elastic shock cord. I don't think bungee is really all that important, as shown by all the diy rope setups without it....but it does help a little I figure.

Jumping...I am no big air master, but jump fine with rope.

Replacing chicken loop with carabiner...I have been thinking about this, as an option to bring the bar and sweet spot a little closer and gain some extra throw (along the lines of the BRM new bar in another thread). Need to figure out a quick release though.
This is my quick release, hope you understand it since the pictures are not very good. It is very easy to make and I´ve been using it for several years now with no problems att all. It is basically just a "sliding pin release".
