Some one recently gave me a pair of trick skis, problem is, the single trick ski is for left foot forward skier, I am right foot forward, a friend told me there is a company that makes a swivel plate for the rear to hold, anyone know who this company is and how to get a hold of them?

I've not heard of a swivel binding for trick skis, although they make swivel skis for show skiing. Your best bet is to remount your toe strap, or get a new one to mount on the other ski.

You need 1 piece of rubber, 2 pieces of plastic, 6 screws and some non skid tape/pad. This cannot be any easier. There is no such thing as a swiveling toe loop.

Call Wiley's and get another reat toe strap. Mount it on the other ski, that way you have one right foot forward, and one left foot forward. Everyone can have fun that way! goto www.wileyski.com

On the contrary I used a trick once in college where the rear toe loop had 4 bolts in a diamond shape centralized on the ski. Loosen the 4 and it pivoted like some snowboard bindings.

The ski had 4 solid inserts in the deck to accomodate said binding.

I looked and looked for one with no success, and wish I could remember the mfg now.

But I would take the one that lacks a rear toe plate and install yours on that and not bother having to modify the other. Its a big issue in my family as my younger brother and older brother are LFF, I am RFF and so is my father but he has no interest in the trick ski.
