Light, trendy, don't rip up your shins.
And Premium Slims are sick. But you should send me your PC's.

Sounds like some marketing hype to sell ****ty cheap over priced plastic pedals to kids.
My magnesium pedals are light enough, and ripped up shins are part of riding BMX.
Don't buy into crappy parts just because they're trendy. You know what was trendy when I was a kid? Pink seats with a wheel built into the back, which existed for the execution of a trick called "The Ice Cream Man". Perhaps we were to young to realize that those seats were ridiculous, but we did realize one thing back then - that plastic pedals sucked - and they still do.

Those Slipless pedals look so clean. Only 4 pins though? But hey, whatever works.
I don't know how you can hardly call $15 for a pair of pedals overpriced Black Bike. I know a lot of people that run them and have been running them for a few months now, holding up great. And they're only about $15? Sounds like a deal to me. And the new PC's are much better than the old plastic pedals.

If the plastic pedals work for your application, then rock em. I've just seen a lot of trends come and go (plastic mags, plastic rims, plastic pegs, bash guard frames, etc.) over my 27 years of riding BMX, and everything always seem to come back to the simple things that work. Just my observation. Take it for what it's worth.
by the way, eight pack, that's a sick setup I have post some pics of mine when I get the time.

Yeah, exactly, it's simple and it works. Except plastic mags and rims that is. And I don't have a pair of PC's but I would like to try them.

I do have a black Fly brake that I'll sell. Brand new, no pads or cable hanger. I mounted it, but took it off the same day. I just prefer the way a properly set up Diacompe 990 works, for me it's worth the weight penalty.
