Summit stands (and the Woller family) are awesome! I have a Viper X4 and love it. No problems, no worries, no anything. It's the best stand I have ever bought and don't need anything else! [8D]

Doefever, the bungee you described is for your feet. It only has one hook. Thread it through itself around the bottom brace, then hook it around the other bottom brace and hook up the S hook onto the bungee, and you're set.

Summit has the most fantastic customer service too. I watched the DVD on the stand and had my Viper X4 hooked up in no time. I mean, if a computer programmer can put together a tree stand, anyone can!

Also, their latest "That's Huntin'" video is really cool! Great bunch of guys....
