Heel Block

The heel block improves control by providing a surface for your heel to push against, keeping the back of your foot connected to the board when turning toe-side.

All footholds can be used in conjunction with one another to achieve the configuration that works best for your ride style.

Adjustablility

Using three M5 bolts, the heel block can be secured to the HITBOX bracket at multiple heights.

The inner surface of the block slightly curves around the back corner of your shoe, but stays within the outer profile of the HITBOX bracket. Because of this positional limitation, riders with larger feet and a heel position further off the foot pad won't be able to benefit from the intended use of this foothold.

Spacers can be used to further offset the block from the bracket. Spacers of differing heights can be used to change the angle of the block relative to the bracket.

Design Geometry

When pressing your heel flush against the block, your foot will be 6° off of parallel (toe further out than heel).

The bottom half of the block is parallel with the HITBOX bracket, which itself is angled 15° inward from perpendicular to the board's rail. The upper half of the block is angled further inward to increase traction with your heel. This upper half surface wraps around the back corner of your heel, allowing you to generate a small amount of torque with your back foot when turning toe-side.

The heel block is asymmetrical so be sure to select the right variant for your stance.

This block can be used on your front foot heel, but in terms of naming, the "Regular" variant is oriented for your back foot heel in a regular stance. The "Goofy" variant is oriented for your back foot heel in a goofy stance.
