Shadow Conspiracy – Ravager Plastic Pedals

August 3, 2017

Let’s take a look at one of The Shadow Conspiracy’s classics… The Ravager Plastic Pedals.

Note: This post contains affiliate links and we could receive a commission if you were to buy a pair of these pedals. Don’t worry! We wouldn’t be talking about them if we weren’t stoked on them and would run them ourselves. In fact, we have!

Anyone who has rode plastic pedals know that it can be tricky finding something you really like. The Shadow Conspiracy have had their Ravager plastic pedals apart of their line up for years without much for changes beyond color options because it’s a BMX pedal that so many people have become fans of. The Ravager pedals are made from an injection molded composite with 10 round molded pins per side. The pedal has a low profile body with additional knurling all over the pedal for additional traction. Inside you can find a 4140 heat-treated chromoly spindle with loose ball bearings, giving you a strong, but affordable setup. There’s a reason these pedals have been a popular choice for BMX riders from around the world all these years.

Shadow Conspiracy – Featherweight In-Mold Helmet

July 20, 2017

Let’s take a closer look at the new Featherweight In-Mold Helmet from The Shadow Conspiracy…

Note: This post contains affiliate links and we could receive a commission if you purchase this helmet. We would never tell you about a product we weren’t completely stoked on and actually think is worth you using.

Whether you prefer to wear a helmet or not, you undoubtedly know that having one on when you ride is a good idea. Wearing helmets while riding BMX have always been one of those weird “it’s your choice” things that riders go back and forth with. Whether you want to have something on all the time just incase, or for the times you’re “forced” to wear one during a session at a skatepark, it’s a good idea to have one.

Riders who aren’t big fans of wearing helmets always have reasons for not wearing one. We’ve heard that they don’t look cool, they get too hot, they are uncomfortable and that they’re too heavy in the past. All things we have battled with ourselves over the years, so it isn’t something we don’t understand. But we also know the importance of helmets and with so many Pro riders going down with head injuries the past few years, it’s becoming more and more important that riders are keeping their heads safe. That’s why The Shadow Conspiracy decided to go to the drawing board and take all those complaints and create a helmet that riders would enjoy wearing, or at the very least be able to bear it for the sessions they have to wear one.

The Shadow Conspiracy have just released their new Featheweight In-Mold Helmet that is cool looking, lightweight, comfortable and keeps you cool during a heated session, and it didn’t cut any corners on safety — This helmet meets CPSC and EN 1078 standards.

The Featherweight In-Mold helmet starts out with a thinner plastic outer shell with In-Mold technology that uses a custom shape and fit with high density EPS foam that is apart of that outer shell completely, not just a few patches of velcro or glue holding it together so it stays in place. This allows the helmet to have a low profile fit that has that classic look (very similar to the Bucky Lasek Pro-Tec helmet in our opinion) with 10 vented slots to ensure plenty of airflow. If you look closely, those vented holes are the shape of coffins to go along with the Shadow Conspiracy look, which was a nice touch. The helmet is all held in place with a fully adjustable strap that will allow a perfect fit. If you struggle to find a perfect fit, the helmet also comes with two sets of padding to get that custom fit that’s just right for you.

With everything we just talked about above, the helmet’s overall weight was kept down to 273 grams or 9.63 ounces for their Large / XL size. That’s just over a half a pound in weight, which is not a lot; especially when it comes to helmets. That’s nearly half the weight of a ProTec Classic helmet for a comparison. We were blown away when we picked this helmet up for the first time back at Frostbike 2017 because of the surprising weight.

The Shadow Conspiracy Featherweight In-Mold Helmet comes in two sizes; Small / Medium (50-56 cm), Large / Extra Large (58-61cm), colors of matte black and white and a price tag of $69.99 through BMX shops and mail-orders that carry The Shadow Conspiracy worldwide or direct from The Shadow Conspiracy Webstore now!
