If you caught our interview with Pascal Lafontaine the other week, you would have heard that he is now riding for MagLock Bike Pedals, which after a a battle with cancer that took Pascal’s leg, has allowed him to get back on his bike thanks to a prosthetic leg, these pedals and a magnet in his shoe. Check out this quick promo where Pascal puts his pegs to good use and these pedals. So stoked to see Pascal shredding again!
Street Market – Merritt P1 Pedal Crash Test
The Street Market guys have always had a pretty unique approach to doing things. Today, they sent through a BMX video of them putting the Merritt P1 pedals to the test in a pretty unorthodox way… without a bike. There is a breaking point for plastic BMX Pedals and it would appear that they have found what it is for these ones. Check it!
Product: Odyssey – Tom Dugan Signature Grandstand Pedals
The long awaited Tom Dugan signature Grandstand BMX pedals from Odyssey have arrived! These pedals, made from a high strength plastic composite (PC) material, feature a slim profile and wide platform with a concave shape that gives you plenty of grip and comfort. Each side of the pedal features 8 molded pins and they have used a unique bushing bearing configuration to allow the use of a big 14mm heat-treated axle with 17mm wrench flats and 6mm broach while maintaining the slim design.
The Grandstand pedal is available in black and clear now through BMX shops and mail-orders that carry Odyssey worldwide now for around $19.99. If metal is more your thing, these should be available in an alloy form sooner than later as well. At least they were testing a version of it at the same time as these plastic pedals.

The Trooper pedals are available in colors of Digital Camo, black, gum, purple, red, cyan, black and white splatter and black and blue splatter with a weight of 14.5 oz. per pair.

Pascal Lafontaine – Budgie Pedal
Very shortly before Pascal Lafontaine found out that he had a rare cancer in his foot that ultimately lead to amputation, he spent some time at Le Taz skatepark stacking clips for this promo for the Budgie pedals from Social Bike Co.! Hit play and take in all this gold because it’s going to be a little while until we see a fresh video from Pascal as he re-learns to ride with a prosthetic!
“Pascal headed indoors to Taz skatepark during winter and came back with this killer pedal promo.
