DIY Warrior ARS Toe Straps

[Punisher Goalie]

Recently got a set of G4 Pros. I have True One Piece skates. Unfortunately, the ARS toe strap clip does not fit through the toe hole in my skates. Inspired by a video posted by VOGoalie (linked below), I decided to make my own ARS straps that 1) are 3/4” in width so they fit through the toe holes; and 2) use Velcro to attach to the ring on the G4s instead of the clip (I’ve found with my aging hands its difficult to squeeze the clip to undo it anyway).

I basically just copied how the stock straps are constructed. There is an overlapping Velcro fold on one side to connect to the anchor point on the G4s, so I just made another Velcro connection on the opposite side that feeds through the ring and secures back on itself. Very easy.

Here’s the video I was referring to before. He just wanted a lot more slack than the stock strap allowed.

that VOG guy has just been pumping out videos. He's gone from almost zero activity to just padding that video portfolio.

Anywho, It seems like a good mod. I remember when I first used the AR Straps, I felt like my foot was just hanging in the air a bit too much. I've adjusted as have the straps loosened up too.

But, I definitely could see why people would like to go this route.

He's been doing great videos, pretty decent quality content in my opinion.

I did a mod to give me ARS straps with more slack, was too lazy to sew up elastic, so I went with the shock cord route.

I remember the VO Goalie from that other board. If anyone knows him, please invite him out here.

Agreed. He definitely has some sort of background/experience with video creation.

In his vids he says he's a voice actor.
