New BC plates with pics!

Hola,



well, i made another pair of bc plates, the exact same as my newer old ones.

This time i desided to try something a little different, i tilted teh bases up about 3º to help keep my feet into the bolts, and to keep my feet from sliding off the plates in a hard landing. i tryed them out and it helps ALOT, you cant really feel it, though you can sure see it. but you can really feel our feet sliding into the plate, vs where you have to keep pinching your feet into the plates to stay on.


heres a pic:

Do the bolts rip up your ankles when you land wrong?





Couldn't help it :-)
