I need some BMX platform pedal recommendations.

Hi,
So I'm looking for a good BMX platform pedal to use with holdfast FRS. I have researched that plastic may be the way to go, but I'm not sure which kind to go for. Any recommendation would be helpful.
Thanks

"Sort by: Price, low to high" was always my friend when looking for BMX style platform pedals. Just sayin'.

These are excellent at a low price. I've got a bunch of them.

Although I did go all out once and get these magnesium Xpedo's for one of my mountain bikes.



Just depends on how fancy you want to get.

If you can find a pair I really like Haro Small Block pedals.



They have a lot more surface area than most BMX pedals and a nice concave. BMX guys don't like them because they tend to crack when you do crazy **** but I've had two pair on different bikes for many years with no issues. Also if you haven't already bought the HoldFasts I recommend YNOTs. They are nice and stiff and say open and wear well.
