    Default Toe Blocks

    Can you guys post some pics of your toe blocks, or give some ideas of either what you've used or what you've seen?

    Long hardware going through bushings on the top of the deck. Foam contoured to the shape of your foot. Not every one uses toe stops.

    i use a black tracker bushing, the "hour glass" shaped one. a long bolt and a
    couple of washers and it works great for me. i tried a few other things that i
    didnt like as much as this simple fix. i do, however, want to try and make a
    nice wooden one and see if that works any better. mine is mounted through
    the front-right truck mounting hole.

    it is not pic-worthy

    I put the radikal up as a footblock when I got 12 for pretty much free. I didn't realize the value of them...

    It's from Kaliber, a brand from Koln ( Germany ). I bought it at heiko's stand during the "worlds" in Austria, it was around 20 usd... It's a very basic piece of wood, I guess you can build it by yourself ( I'm too lazy for that ! ).
    When I began slalom ( 3 years ago ), I thought toe stop was unuseful but now, I must recognize that it brings you more confidence and "power"... ( even if I improved my skills ,! ).

    I personally don't feel the need for one...never slipped and i'm not planning on it. Maybe just put a nice square of Edger grip right under your front foot
