C-blocks

Have any of you experimented with using C-blocks in favor of a bushing toe stop?

I saw them here. They look like they'd be more comfortable than a bushing to rest your foot against for long rides.

you could probably also bolt a Khiro 7d wedge pad to the top of the deck.

how well would that adhesive stick onto griptape, especially for long distances? or are you meant to remove the griptape where it's being mounted?

sk8kings also has a designated foot stop. Since you're already dropping close to $20, y not 2 more and get something like this:

That Chapman toe stop would be great for slalom I'd imagine, when your feet and stance are pretty much locked in. But for LDP it's nice to be able to move your feet around and adjust your stance. A simple bushing allows you to twist your front foot around the stop and change the angle. I can see how the C-block would be more comfortable with the Vibram Fivefingers since it's made of foam and the pressure wouldn't be on one spot. For the money you actually get a lot of material, enough for different boards and applications.

Century Pulse, no need for one, it's built into the deck shape, hehe.

Mine looks pretty much the same as when i first got it back in November/December. Been too busy snowboarding - but that's pretty much done for now.

Anyway, before my Century, i liked teh bushing because it was simple and allowed me to move my feet around a lot more.
