Hi

I've got a 133 twin tip that is very similar construction to a Jamie Pro. I want to move the foot straps out towards the ends of the board to help me be able to really dig the edges in hard for riding ake style.

I was hoping to be able to just drill through the board and push some kind of fastener through that I could screw the bolts on the footstraps into. Anyone know of something like this? Anyone found a better way to move them???

Cheers

You need stainless "T-nuts", but you will weaken the board. You should not need to make the stance wider, a lot of RnD goes into the stance width of boards like the jaime, waste of time IMO and you risk totalling your nice board.

Hey Steve

Thanks for the tip on the T-nuts. The board is not actually a Jamie Pro but just similar construction. Its a board from WA company

Its a fairly long board for me and I find it hard to dig the edges in when I'm powered up and unhooked. I was thinking that the quite long distance from the heal to the tip of the board was part of the reason (hard to get the weight right over the back of the board). I had a look a Len10 Lunacy and the stance seems a lot wider so thought that moving the footpads might help me. Whatdoyareckon??????
