plastic pedals good for learning C. Flips?

MuniAddict said:

Are they better for learning than metal/alloy pedals? I wear 661
knee/shin but the calf area isn't protected against pedal bites!

Yeah they are beter, but you damage plastic pedals easier.
I'm learning crankflip now, and I use plastic pedals.
I can do zeroplant and unispins and stuff and plastic pedals are fine
for tricks.

it depends how much u like getting bashed... alot of people doing alot
of street only use plastic pedals, i know mike uses those £2.50 off UDC
uk.....

basically since all ur gonna do at the start is gonna be bashing ur
shins, its better to put plastics. plus if u wreck them, tis cheaper.

Correction, Mike DID use those £2.50 pedlas.
I now use those by the way.
Mike uses some off those metal "beartrap" pedals now.
He sais those are good for flips, not to grippy and stronger than those
plastic pedals.
I got a pair off those metal pedals to, but I'm going to learn a
crankflips first and then use them.

Get the odyssey twisteds, but not the ones you linked to! those are 1/2"
threads and won't fit your cranks. Get the 9/16 version.

You can learn flips fine with metal pedals. The only thing to worry
about is hitting yourself but with 661s you will be fine. For more
complicated flip tricks plastics are nice.

Hah! Just to continue to fool all of you I know have gone back to my
blue £2.50 pedals :p

I broke the betals, but they did belong to an old trials biker before
me. They were probably already cracked. Although the sides did tend
to dent inwards, it wasn't a big deal.

Did you land that tripleback Mike?
I know you were trying, and I saw your "bail" video, but you didn't
tell me you landed it.
Told you so that you can make it.😎
But did you land it with the plastic ones?

I will be going out very soon to practice them. I am very close, and I
will land them hopefully today, fingers crossed. I will be using
plastics for it, as my metals are broken.
