I use them all the time. My feet are always in them, I feel a lot more connected to the ski. They're helpfull with turning also.2nd nature said:

my feet are always locked into my hold/strap combo...like demon said, the negative pressure on your feet feels so good...especially in the air..

It's a personal preference really.
The only time I use my straps is when I plan on getting inverted. I like to move around on the ski alot, I don't enjoy being limited to one foot placement. Ross on the other hand, keeps his feet in the straps the entire time he's riding someones blaster.
Different strokes for different folks.

These are adjustable kiteboard straps.

How do you guys secure the straps to the ski ? Nut and Bolts, screws ?

rivets don't work :biggrin: . some people use wood screws. I used an aluminum bar that I bolt trough.shepster said:

I take the battery box out. Take out a little foam where the ends of the bolts are gonna go. 4 stainless 1/8th" plates predrilled to match strap holes. 5200 on the top of plates, put the bolts w/ washers through the strap ends and nut them up. Some do not prefer this method :sneaky: but the deck is not swiss cheesed and the plates underneath provide the base coverage needed for pressure. As well as I care about my skis I would not do anything that would fork them up.:biggthumpup:

I actually put my aluminum under the the hull and used bolts and nuts. I didn't know if I trusted taping bar aluminum.yamasaki said:

Speaking of Blaster barrel rolls... I did my first today :biggreen:. Unfortunately the only cameras we had were back at the ramp so all the ones I got go something like this. If your feet are six feet above the handlebars when you land, does it still count as a br?? Yes I used the straps....
edit, was using a full face helmet too :shock:

My feet came out a few times...best bet is to let er go when that happens. But um...I guess that is a little obvious at this point.
Knarly lookin pics, but congrats on the roll all the same! I'm sure they will get easier.

I guess not! It happened pretty quick. I had my mind set to hold on for dear life because the grips on this particular blaster were loose. I was like Wile E. Coyote by the time I realized my feet had slipped... :1244: So for anyone coming to this thread for advice, here's your lesson on what not to do.
