Which Footholds?!

[vjhardcore]

Lots of builds going on over winter . New freestylers to the sport. Which footholds are each of you recommending / not liking and why?

Preferably SJ but Kawi riders welcome.

 

[WDKfan]

I have revs on both my skis and couldn't be happier.

 

[701superjet]

i love my 24-7's

 

[D Slicker]

I have had
Blowsion kickers = ok
WCF = didn't like the way my feet felt
Wammer cyclons = feel great in the ski haven't ridden with them yet.

I love the WD REVs, I have a set in my 750
I plan to put a set in my SN this winter:Banane01:

 

[demolition_x]

WDK revs I love em.

 

[McDog]

Aren't the REVS really hard to install compared to the others?

 

[tor*p*do]

I dont know about being harder than others.
It was my first install and I dont think it was too hard.
I took my own sweet time, but second time will be EZ:woot:

it was a little more tricky than just cutting from a pattern and screwing them along the flange like some of the other holds. they are so worth it.

I've got 24-7's and like them. My friend has REVs and I can't get comfortable in them. Two completely different holds though. I've installed two sets of REVs and the install is not as bad as some make it out to be.

I used your pattern. It is almost spot on.

cool, glad it worked for you.
the REVs themselves are not all alike
so the template doesnt work perfect for every one that Jeff puts out :dunno:

I will say the watercraft factory footholds. While the revs are nice, they are waayyyyy tooo big for my feet( i wear a size 11) whereas my watercraft factory footholds are a more comfortable fit.


Go with watercraft factory footholds unless you have clown size feet!!!

 

[SuperjetSteve]

lol,i Got revs in my 750, there alright, i got the older watercraft factory's in my new superjet and they are really nice, i wear size 14 shoe too.

 

[GASGAS]

I installed kickers last winter and couldn't be happier (Size 10 foot) Didn't like the way Revs hit me in the ankle!

 

[waterfreak]

the way your footholds feel will greatly depend on how you set them up with the gray underpadding on the bottom and top . I like to kick my feet in till they are tight and don't budge. Its the only way I feel comfortable going upside down.
My advise is that you try different ones and see which one you prefer.

Steve's foot holds (WCF) fit pretty well during the install... had to use the screws to pull them in tight, but that was expected after reading that it is pretty normal for footholds. They look nice on my ski... check out my build thread in my sig.

Steve, i see you redesigned your footholds (pic coming soon on the WCF site). are they pretty similar to your previous version?

I've been running 24/7 for several years but wanted to go with the WCF holds on my new ski.
