never used them, but some people here have bought them and liked them.
but most people would just recommend just getting some plastic pedals,
like oddyssey twisted plastics, if you really want to get serious with
grinding.

You should just grind heaps on your curent pedal (only on one side)
until it's flat. Or grind the pins down with some kind of power tool.

yea but if I wore the pins to nothing, then I'd have no grip for landing
street tricks.
My dad is just going to give it a try with making them, if they dont
work, he says he'll buy my grind plates from that one place for 10
bucks.

If you grinded on those plates, wouldnt you need to take out all your
pins???
4 of the 10 dont come out....
if I did buy a plastic pedal, where do most ppl get them from, if I put
that on it, would i wear down the pedal?

I originally did this with the pedals that you use. You have two
options as for the pins.

1. Leave them all in, make sure the grindplate sticks up more than the
pins, and cut the grindplate to fit just within the pins.

2. File, saw, or grind the pins off.

ok what i did was.
1. get cutting board
2. take out as many pins as possible
3 grind the ones you cant off with drill or dremel.
4 cut the board to shape with jigsaw or coping saw
5. screw screws thru the cutting board into the holes where the pins
went.(snafus have thread to screw the pins in. use a similar sized
screw.)
6. if the board isnt stuck to the pedal strong enough.ie have very
little screws goin into your pedal, then glue it with some araldite or
industrial glue.

Tip: make sure the screws are countersunk into the board.ie they are
flush with it.

now go grind something.

hoe i made my plate.

get some aluminium about 3mm thick

grind down the pins on one side of the pedal

trace the outline of the pedal onto the aluminium

cut it to shape

select 4 screws that have a core size of about 2-3mm

drill 4 holes through your pedal just big enough so the screws slip
through, 1 at each corner sorta thing

put plate under pedal and mark the holes onto the plate

drill plate where you marked it with a bit that is just bigger than the
core of the selected screws

place the plate under the pedal and scrw the screws through the pedal
and into the plate (they will thread into the aluminium as it is a
softish metal)

once all 4 screws are tight grind the pointy ends off and there you
have it

i will see if i have pics

What I did so far...Is cut holes in the cutting board where the screws
are, so they fit, then i'm following maximus's instructions, but that
is how far we are so far, we started 10 minutes ago. I'll tell you
guys how this turns out...

Max's tutorial is good, but for the pins, you can just leave them in and
put the cutting board on top of them. They will sink into the plastic
if you tighten it down and you won't have a problem. This is what I did
and it worked well.

If you have trouble getting it to work, you can punch little holes
where the pins go with a punch awl or similar.

The pins really aren't a problem, leave them in.
