So i finally want to switch over to foot straps rather than the toe cages i have right now, do i need a special type of BMX pedal for them to fit through or can i use my "basic" pedals that came with my bike? thank you!

My crystal ball has been on the fritz lately. Without knowing what kind of pedals you have and what straps you plan on using, it's really hard to say.

If there track pedals most likely no, but there's so many plastic bmx pedals that only cost like 15 bucks.

Yea they are track pedals, alright thank you guys!

Post a picture of them if you can or link us to a photo there might a few exceptions.

Holdfasts, etc. fit on MKS Sylvan track pedals, though its way easier with bmx pedals.
