    Was there a strap on the back of the seat where you could put there feet? I don't remember but it seems there was something.

    There is. It's a small plastic bracket that attaches on both sides of the seat. You can put a figure's feet under it for standing stunts. You can see it pretty well in this shot:

    However, the Jet Cycle doesn't have one. Kaptain Robbie is in grave danger.

    I thought I remembered one.

    I was like "How did we get him to ride standing up on the seat and not touching the handle bars?"
