odd chain guard?
 

Maybe I'm missing something, but what is the point of a guard like this?

Duh, we all grind rails with the same foot forward each time.
On road cranks.
Hmm.

chainguard grind

hopefully your foot position is perfect 100% of the time..

its to grab your laces and make foot retention permanent...

so i can be like john prolly!!!!
:)

haters...

video and information here

You always grind with the same foot forward and it's either DS with leading forward or DS with trailing back. The OG crusher was a softer aluminum and wore down quickly. This one's 7075 and it's held up quite well. With regards to the "road cranks" comment. I've ridden, c-record, 75's, omniums and RD's and couldn't tell a difference. Which I bet you 100% in a blind test, you couldn't either. Also, why mess up $300 cranks doing tricks anyway?

Besides, ****'s fun as hell.

Most BMX folks do.

Hope to get in the Macaframa video.

Who? Me? Nah man. We got our own **** going on over here on the East coast.

Just giving you a hard time... I wouldn't do it on mine, but to each their own.

Have you ever missed the bash guard and knocked / snapped your chain off?

the way you grind makes it hard to snap the chain. If you miss, you hit your pedal. Which I've done. Numerous times. Mostly on taller ledges where I lack the "ups" to get onto correctly.

The same foot forward thing wasn't meant as sarcasm -- it really does make sense that you only need a partial bash guard for grinding.

The whole road crank thing is what boggles my mind. It's not that I think it belongs on 144 BCD cranks. It's that it can be had for $20 on BMX cranks. Maybe there's a big market for this thing, but it wouldn't have occurred to me to manufacture it.

A lot of people use RD's on track bikes... BMX cranks don't respond well to back-pressure like skidding. I think the mentality that "if you make it, they will use it" is into play. I get a lot of questions from people wanting to know when it's going to be released. Just goes to show that there are infinite ways to have fun on your bike!
