I think its odd when people observe a lack of helmets as if some how you REALLY care about all those unprotected people. Being as safe as possible is fashionable and its the right thing to do right?

This video might be considered as some sort of anti-propaganda for newest hi-tech bike and suspensions deigns. I mean, short stroke suspensions, v-brakes, narrow bars, 26 wheels etc. etc., and still having riding dynamics and flow as todays riders have with modern $ 5K+ bikes. You can develop the most advanced tech and sell it in its weight in gold, but riders input is something that was, is and will be most important variable. And that's indisputable. Period

The one thing i distinctly disliked about the DMR pedals was that the metal seal/ shim was never fixed so it would slide down axle of the pedal and move about. Anyone else experienced this or has this since been resolved?

At least they mentioned Shimano's DX pedal - the one that introduced the entire concept, with angled faces and pins. RC

Ohhh DMR you invented platform pedals, please tell me more. I'm only 10 years old so 18 years seems like a long history.

bebemonk4ever (May 4, 2014 at 14:59)

exactly... i like pc´s because they create that efect on a shoe like wax on a bodyboard ... it has more grip when wet... it has pins just enough to grab well the shoes... but not big enough to do holes in your legs ... its cheap... and its light ... and if it gets scratched it will keep the same color... but maybe it wont last so long has aluminiums... at the time i just bought it to give it a try... because it was light and cheap...

Vaults rule! Not the thinnest or lightest but still respectable in both categories and the platform is pretty darn big.

The old school hip hop music goes with riding vids so much better than all the new shit. Sprung was/is awesome!

Sprung videos were great, when I watch them now its like I remember that, I was doing it with those riders. When I watch current videos I feel so far removed from what they are doing. great pedals though.

V8s were amazing for the money at the time. Still gripper than some modern pedals. The only issue was the small platform which they appear to have solved.

riding shimano spd from first day, and having it on all my bikes I recently decided to try ang got pair of DMR Vault and 5.10 shoes. Pretty cool to ride and Vaults are great.. However, they will never really replace my sidi and my spd ... I already caught myself looking what pedal type I ride with, before I start my descent

It's funny how I get neg propped for having multiple bad experiences with DMR just trying to warn others. It makes me wonder who gives all the neg props and what their reasons are. All I know is I won't buy DMR or azonic as they have had the worst customer service I've ever had to deal with

Mark B and Blade ft Rodney P- I think it's off Mark B and Blade's 2000 release 'The Unknown'. Although I'd have to dig out some vinyl to find out for sure! Propper UK hip hop...
