Title: Woodie Footholds
Post by: aly on October 23, 2009, 12:51:25 pm: OK, I'm planning on putting some really poor footholds onto our board, a bit like the ones on the 45 at the Works. The basic idea being that they're nearly un-usable and you end doing a lot of cutting loose - that's got to get you strong! ;D

The board already has some dedicated small bolt-on footholds, as well as load of screw-ons, but they're all too good and allow you keep your feet on most of the time. What do other people use? Would super-gluing a couple of 2p pieces together, and then gluing them onto the board work? I don't particularly want to have to make some wooden ones, but will do so if that's the best way to do it.

Suggestions please... :)
