Title: screw-on footholds
Post by: Three Nine on September 15, 2009, 09:53:51 am: hi, can anyone recommend some good screw on footholds for a 45deg board? I have used the metollius screw-ons in the past but was thinking of branching out..

Small pieces of wood ?

I agree, hot chips are very good. Careful screwing them in though, get the angle of the screw right or you'll break em.
