you need to come ride with my crew for a day, lol. we've got a rope using 5 differnt ropes to make one. Ever seen a guy throw a 313 from a rope that looks like it was stolen out of dumpster behind wal-mart?
Not sure if it would help....just trying to think out of the box. Hardware stores sell a rubber dipping liquid that is used for coating tools etc. Might help cover the exposed rope and help it last longer.
If you are worried just go to hardware store a get a heat activated wire shrink wrap. Slide it over heat it with hair dryer and will seal itself and the rope. Pretty much what Accurate uses over their sections.
But that rope is fine. ZERO damage except for show.
Thanks for all the comments, that hardest part was getting the knot undone, I will probably do the shrink wrap thing, I've ridden it twice now with no probs
The know will be hard to get done but try laying it flat on something and hitting it with a hammer. I will loosen up the knot some and the you should be able to get something in it and unknot it.
