I snapped the cages on those black widows within weeks. Then I picked up GT platforms. The sheer impact of platforms hurt just as bad. ---

haha. that p61 im riding in those pics had the purple black widow pedals. i saved up for those and got the purple pedals to match my purple T1000s. i actually liked those pedals. Shark bites were really heavy for caged pedals werent they? i think i had a set on my old XS3 ---

Shark bites, that a blast from way back. Those fucking things lasted one day at the trails before pieces of the cages were hanging off. That was roughly the time I discovered the Shimano platforms…it was like an epiphany. I’ve never been off platforms since… ---

ya those shark bites got trashed at the trails. a good set of platforms are great. i have those and Tenderizors on my current Pro Series. they are pretty decent also, never had any complaints. ---

Just a heads up since I didn’t see it mentioned anywhere on here yet. But BMX is actually in the Olympics this year lol. Suppose to be on TV tonight and tomorrow, outta curiosity I’m going to try to catch some of it. Article on it here, [http://sports.yahoo.com/olympics/beijing/cycling/news;\_ylt=Ash6GnwfMiBCi91oaF3IGQmYaJh4?slug=ap-cyc-bmxarrives&prov=ap&type=lgns](http://sports.yahoo.com/olympics/beijing/cycling/news;_ylt=Ash6GnwfMiBCi91oaF3IGQmYaJh4?slug=ap-cyc-bmxarrives&prov=ap&type=lgns) And check the course out too. ![http://www.uci.ch/imgArchive/Bmx/Olympics/Olympic_Track_2.jpg](http://www.uci.ch/imgArchive/Bmx/Olympics/Olympic_Track_2.jpg) EDIT: This explains the split in the course. Big jump is the men’s course, the turn under the jump is part of the women’s course.
