Slingshot Pit footstrap track issues!

I have the last generation (2012 or 2011) Slingshot Pit directional with the footstrap track. I ride the board strapped and therefore jump it. As such, the footstrap track bolt-ins keep sliding around. I spoke to Slingshot last year and they sent me these plastic washers which were supposed to help to no avail. I even went as far as cutting out the padding around the washers in hopes that the washers would not slide around to no avail. An old windsurfing engineer told me to put pieces of aluminum can under the bolt-ins to keep the from sliding around to no avail. Other than inserting fixed epoxied bolt-ins into the board, anyone know what to do to fix this?

Thanks,

Paul

Hey man give the SS rider hotline a call at 509-427-4950. I think I have another idea that might work.

yeah, this is a known design error. Dave from slingshot saw mine at the event site and pulled out some stuff to fix them and they now work great.
