I need to pick yer brains about something...
So, I am about to turf my Squarenose, and I was wondering about the placement of my footstraps. I would like for it to be in the best possible place because I get one chance to mount this correctly. I have still never ridden a SJ and only my 650 SX at this point. I see lots of posts where people install the rear footstrap near the rear on the right side but I have two little problems. One: I have never ridden a Superjet (I know, I've been so deprived right) so I am not exactly sure where I will place my feet. I will be mostly hopping some waves and trying out subs and the like. Easier stuff I guess. Problem Two: I am genetically challenged for most sports being that I am for the most part a lefty. I bat left handed but can switch hit in baseball, and I golf right handed but when it comes to riding a wakeboard, snowboard, or skateboard I am goofy stanced only, and I suck when I have to come down a hill the wrong way or approach a wave from the wrong side. I lead with my right foot to hit a wake and I go down hills on a snowboard leading with my right foot where most people lead with their left. My problem is that when I ride my Ski, I cant remember where I place my feet (sorry, guess I just never thought about it). The really weird thing is that I cant help but think I usually have my right foot back in the tray when I ride which
totally contradicts my previous claim about being a lefty...right??? Sorry if this question comes across as dumb, but is there a way to find out before I do the install? I have no opportunity to ride and find out because I am the only person I know that has a stand up within 800 miles of myself.
This is important because I know how bored I got riding my 650SX without footholds wishing I had them. I know the lack of them is really holding me back from some way cool tricks haha! Let me know your thoughts! Jacob
