poor grip on foot plate
I was having trouble with my feet staying on the footplate of my chair when I was going over rough area's (such as brick, cobblestone ect.) As a kid I use to skateboard and my kids all skateboard. so my solution to my problem was buying grip tape and installing it on my foot plate. For those of you who do not know what grip tape is. its the rough part on the top of the skate board that keeps your feet from slipping. if anyone is having the same problem I can direct you on where to buy it. some times skateboard shops have pieces that they are going to throw away. these pieces are often big enough for the footplate of a chair. also a friend of mine is trying grip tape on his tubular foot plate. I'll let you all know how it works for him. oh also you can but grip tape in colors.
I hope this helps! |
