    me: *copy rules from campsite* No craft, including kayaks and
    inflatables, should be left moored to the dock. A permit is not
    required to land or hike on Santa Barbara Island.

  3. Odyssey Twisted (plastic). These things are lighter then aluminum and
    they have a very strong axel. I weigh around 190 and Iv broken alot of
    pedals. These ones are the best bang for your buck, and for $30, you
    can't go wrong.

    aluminum pinned pedals with unsealed bearings

    jim C's
    Primo strickers
    Primo Super tenderizers
    are all good choices.
    plastics wont last long with pedal grabbing

  8. My advice:

    Don't get plastic pedals, they aren't grippy enough for trials.

  9. I used to love my Odessy plastics but as I progressed I started wanting
    more grip. I bought a bunch of snafu pedals on sale and have been quite
    happy with them. They are a bit heavy but seem to take a good beating
    and have decent grip.

    I payed $8 (CAN) for my twisted plastics at a unicycle/extreme sports
    store, I do know the owners though so regular price would have probably
    been around $12. If you are getting charged $30 for them you are
    getting ripped off.

  10. What the hell is trials anyway ? You will know when you have advanced to
    the point where the grip on plastic pedals is holding you back. Until
    you are doing those tricks, plastics rock.

    They are as light as 150 $ metal pedals. You don't need to wear leg
    gear to avoid metal pins ripping stripes in your skin at minor bobbles.
    They cost 11 $

    Sure, there are riders that really need the extra strength and grip of
    metal pedals. At 11 $ a set , it is hard to say many need the
    durability of pedals that last longer, at several times the cost.

    But until you are sure that rider is you, why not take the scrape
    free,light and cheap choice while you can ?

    Plastic pedals are the smart choice for all beginners. Lot's of really
    good riders use them as well. They should be your first choice.🙂
