Platform pedals
Can anyone recommend a good slimmer style platform pedal? Something with good grip and doesn't weigh too much? Thanks.

I currently use and recommend the Specialized Lo Pro Mag 2's - they meet the criteria you describe.
The new Straitline pedals look pretty nice as well, although I have no experience with them.

I'll also add that Five.Ten Impacts will make any platform pedal (or wet log or mossy rock for that matter) significantly grippier.

I'm running the sealed mags right now.
I get pretty white sparks when I either do pedal grinds or miss my feebles .
