I supose I better get involved in this thread (don't know how I missed so much of it) as I have 2 sets of moving footplates now (1 home made)
You are so right Kiola I really don't like the fixed plates now and feel so much better on the moving ones
Spud you are welcome to try mine if you ever get down here
only thing is they are on 114's so might be a bit stiff
I have fixed mine so they don't rotate as much as normal due to my ankle not being right (about 2/3's movement compared to normal) as I find it more comfy that way (very easy mod )
The advantages Zeri are that it feels so much more natural and I find it easier to recover from a bad landing on them
I also feel that it makes the springs feel softer and gets you more height as you can use your ankles to help when jumping
The disadvantages are that they take a while to get used to and swapping between fixed and moving or vice versa takes 10 mins before you feel right again
