  3. I love magnesium pedals for grinding, I have yet to find a better
    alternative. Just take the pins out of one side of the pedal and you
    are good to go.

    yeah, but bothering to get your feet up on the right side of the pedal
    is annoying. using a cutting board is another popular option.

    if you use a cutting board make sure its really really thin, but unless
    you plan on grinding wood ledges you don't need one. They are a pain,
    you always put your foot on the grind plate and then it is really
    slippery and you fall.

    magnesium or plastics are best.

  6. I made a grinding plate out of these thin pieces of metal with holes in
    them that I got at Home Depot. They were like 69 cents so I got four
    incase I messed up. I just benf them so they would go around one side
    of the pedal and up the sides. This is too hard to explain here is a
    pic. And the pins stay up. I mostly did this so my pedals wouldn't
    die when doing pedal grabs.

    I will try and get a real photo of it later.

    I actually like a higher crotch. I always buy jeans that aren't
    saggy-crotched. You have to pay a good bit more it seems like, and you
    can't find 'em at Fred Meyer or Walmart, but I love the feel.

  9. I'm so dumb I can't even put up some pictures. I put the pictures in
    the same way I did the paint project so I don't know what the problem
    is because the pics show up in my gallery.

  12. i used relativly heavy cutting board and because of its weight it always
    stays facing the ground. so you never put your foot on it. in fact it
    is really hard to put your foot on it.
