Im confused.

You buckle up boots. Pull strap across and thats it.

Never thought there was more than one place to put it.

over the shell's where you're supposed to put it traditionally. but most of the people i ride park with, we all put it under the shell over the tongue. works a lot better for avoiding shinbang and having a smooth flex in the park.

thanks, over the tongue is weird. I never gave the strap a second thought, just through it iver the shell and cinched it down.
