Foothold types

[thegoldenboy]

Those new XFT's are crazy.

 

[pimpchevy07]

soooo many choices now. i really like those orange xft's.

 

[Kennay]

Those new XFT's will be my choice this winter simply because of the fact that you can be forward in the tray, or back.

I've only ridden one ski with footholds, and I didn't like it because I had to stand with my feet all the way at the back of the tray all the time.

They look cool don't they. That carbon on the front looks sweet.

 

[Kennay]

Any idea where I could buy some? Or when those will be out?

They look like the hands down favorite for what I am looking for.

 

[Kennay]

Anybody?

Contact Sergio http://www.xftonline.com/
He will build ones for you, just email him with the pics.

 

[Kennay]

Oh wow. So they aren't going to be in mass production? No way I'd be able to afford them.

I wonder how much they would be? Even the regulars are like 200 right?

 

[goodq]

Just email him, he is a great guy to deal with.

 

[Kennay]

Any idea how long it normally takes him to respond? Is he a member here?

I emailed him a while back, but have yet to get a response.

I sort of need to know, so I know which direction to go in with redoing my foam, and repainting the ski. I need to get that shape cut out

He was at the surf slam and now I would imagine he's on his way back to brazil so give him some time.

Now I can't decide what xft hold to go with at:

 

[Kennay]

I love the type he has with 2 foot positions. It seems like a win win.

Does anyone know if anyone else makes something similar? I hate being limited to having my feet all the way at the back for them to be in the holds.

 

[yamaslut]

what's even better:

I run a front foothold and it's freaking great...

...and you are so correct about riding in the holds, it's totally goofy feeling.

IMO you should never be locked in your rear holds unless you are upside down. Other than that... figure out what foot is most comfy up front and work out everything from there....

 

[Kennay]

Have any pics of it?

Hell, for that matter, have you ever seen two footholds installed in the front, and two in the back?

 

[Kennay]

The reason I am so concerned, is because when I ride I cover a pretty good distance, and it is REALLY weird, like you mentioned. It's just not practical for me.

 

[yamaslut]

I got a pic at work... I'll post it tomorrow

 

[Kennay]

Thanks alot!!!

I don't quite get what your saying.

If you are not comfortable in your holds you don't have to stay in them.

If you ride surf run a strap up front and holds in the back. I do this when cruising around the lake, or getting from point A - B.

Right foot in rear hold, left foot up front, this way if you hit a roller or wake, you still have enough hold in the rear of the ski to level it out when in the air, or pull a trick off if you wanted.
