Insight: Eclat – Nathan Peg
Product design is one of the most interesting things in BMX to me. Just the whole process of coming up with an idea and turning it into an actual product is so fascinating. Over the past two or three years, plastic pegs have really been becoming a hugely popular part for BMX. In that time, it seems like every brand has released their own version of the plastic peg these days and the heated debate over plastic versus metal pegs continues.
There might have been a lot of options added to the table, but they’re all pretty similar in design. That was up until a few weeks ago when Eclat released Nathan Williams’ signature peg that features a steel core that’s bonded with a plastic creating a one piece design.
After seeing a lot of mixed reactions about the peg, we figured it would be a good idea to catch up with one of the guys behind the design, Richard Shaw, to talk about how the peg was made and what really went into creating this version of the plastic peg. Let’s see what he had to say!

Matt Gistinger – The Foot High Ledge League
Matt Gistinger-The Foot High Ledge League from Mathew Gistinger on Vimeo.
As a long time four pegger, and a fellow low ledge jibber, I’m totally into this one. Here’s what Matt had to say about the video:
“We all know that foot high ledges are the greatest obstacle on planet earth, so why not have a league of foot high ledge riders.”
Grind on my brother, grind on.
