I have always thought that which is why I havnt bought/made pedals with grind plates. Do you always ride with them or do you swap them out when your not grinding?

Yeah, its very removable. Just take off the 4 nuts from the bolts, slide the cross memebers out the sides of the pedal, and pull the plate off the bottom. Takes all of 2 minutes. You don't usually land with it up, because it is heavier than the top side, so the plate falls to the bottom. There are some exeptions though, so I usually take it off to do anything that involves feet off the pedals. Of course, I don't usually do street of flatland with metal pedals.

I assume you mean no-footer/flip tricks. The thing about grind plates is that they're heavy, so they always end up facing downwards, the whole gravity thing...but if you're still worried, with some pedals, you can tighten how much they spin, so they'll stay in the same position, if you understand what I'm saying.
