This is a peculiar aftermarket part that was designed by SE most probably for Freestylers. The particular part enables the turn plate to be fit in a particular angle, since the rider stands steel with his body positioned towards the front. All parts are assembled in a kit especially for the upper part of the RRP pole and are for sale by SE.

The disappointing part was that we found out that 18 people were fired from the company and one of them was Victor Sheldon, one of the pioneer racers of the sport.
