i don't skate, but you could probably get a new one somewhere...

or you could substitute something else in.

quite possibly the most useless comment i have EVER read

and to answer the question, most snowboard shops carry them because of snowboard bindings that use the same mechanism. i would check there

Dude, rental shops have those by the dozen. Don't pay for something you don't need to. Shit, I probably have some lying around.

No worries on the stickers, and I'll look around for a strap. Curious on where it connects...what does it look like, do you know?

Yeah, but I can't see where it connects. If it won't connect right, it won't work, ya know?

dude just go to a ski rental shop, when my friend lost one of those on his snowboard they gave him a new one and put it on in a few minutes.

(this is all assuming you can use one from a snowboard, i dont skate)
