Pedals are on the way!

Point One Racing held a secret test session for their new pedals @ Northstar this past weekend, here is a sneak preview of what took place:

Jimmy Amaral was getting a little loose on the jumps and rocks, having the pedal tapered to a max of 13mm thin, riders are able to clean rock sections easier and with more confidence.

Co-founder Scott Orehek liked the over-sized bearings that keep the pedals stiff and yet very light-weight.

Alex Amaral was staying low and pro, yet managed to catch a glimpse of the camera. Alex said that having a wide platform body and long screws like the Point One Racing pedal really allows for ultimate traction.

Mike Amaral really was impressed with the visible axle design utilized by the pedal. Having a simple, clean and unique image really stands out.
