xft footholds

[aqua]

hey....i have kickers on my ski right now and sometimes i still find a way to get out of them when i am not suppose to. i was looking at the xft holds and how they wrap all of the way around your feet and was wondering what everyone thought of such holds. i know they are more probable to break your ankle but i guess they would be fine if you didnt let go right? anyway....i think my distrust in my kickers is really holding me back from getting too crazy....coming out while inverted is not fun.

what are everyones thoughts that are doing rolls?

Also....how hard would it be to remove my kickers and install some xft's. are there other holds out there that hold better than my kickers?

some people love the xfts, and some hate them
personally, i hate them
you should try glassing the hook over bits to ure existing footholds, to stop your feel falling out

i have been considering that also.....just fiberglassing the sides in so that when my feet come out they have to go out the back. has anybody fiberglassed the sides of their holds like that?

thats how revs are. it felt kind of scary though so I didn't use the enclosures.

ive tried revs and a number of xfts. and the xfts hold you in better but you do loose tray space.i think im putting xfts in my ski this year.

The tray thing on the XFT's dosn't seem to be an issue with me. I normally ride with one foot forward or both feet foward if I'm not locked in

can u still toe in on the rear foot with the XFTs, when riding one foot forward?

currently IMO there is no better foothold available than the XFT, they hold you secure and don't wear out the tops of your feet on long weekends, just don't get any crazy ideas, like letting go of the ski:bigeyes:

doesnt he build them to your foot size and type of shoes you wear while ridin?
