Footholds? What's that?? I hope the sport some day goes back to true Free-ride with the rider not "attached" to the ski. But, alas.....it will never happen.

The name sake of the Dirty Sanchez also invented footholds? Interesting...
I made plans for full length slots in 1993. Surely some riders were using straps and wedges at the time. The IJSBA did not want to see much customization back then since they were owned by the MFGs. Footholds as they are came around with the barrel roll craze. They generally were not needed before that.

I remember in 95 when Rick Roy (Eric then) used an AZZ hold to do barrel rolls. It was just a cheap plastic chain bolted to the bond rail on each side of the tray that came up waist high to hold him in the tray. I still get a chuckle looking at the pictures. :biggrin:
