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.

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

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!
