First time I ever saw footholds were on a 550. They looked just like this pic but they were full tray length on both sides. That was in the late 80's

My buddy installed two rear boots from slalom water skis in about `92... installed them on his 650SX with drywall screws. First time I did a sub on it I almost killed myself.

After subbing for years with no aid (toes pressed to the outside) I pulled up with the same amount of effort and went in pretty much vertical (felt that way). If I had not already learned to duck while subbing I wold have gone over the front for sure. Just freaked me out at the time.

I laugh to this day how good a rider my buddy was on his 650SX, but that did not stop him from driving a TS straight into a seawall.

I invented them in 88 when I was born, what's up with the thread revivals?

I remember when growing up in South Florida and we had an area in Dania called Jet Ski Beach on the intercoastel. I wasnt into ski's as I had no money and was impressed seeing the likes of Tim Judge (only remembered him cause I raced BMX with him) and freinds riding out there every weekend. I remember wedges screwed in the sides of their trays. This was in about 87-88. I also remember a girl that rode with them when they would ride out of Haulover (Bakers) inlet to ride surf.

I did that the other day with lifter wedges. Over rotated a sub at like 25MPH and got catapulted over the pole. Glad I didn't break it. Wish I had the gopro running. My Fiance said it was the best trick of the day and asked to see it again.

I still get scared when I dive using my foot holds and I tuck harder then needed and do a accidental suicide dive to face plant lol .
