Pedal and history? I'm curious to know more.

Hope you're alright.

Well, I destroyed a 4 ride old D3 evo. Suffered concussion and bruises. Was unconscious for a bit. But, will pull through no problem.

What type of pedal was it? Age, condition, circumstances?

There's nothing better than an Orangina after cheating death with Digger.

Chromag Scarab. Two seasons or so of use. Not a ton of park use as last year was my first seasons pass. Got maybe 16 days in but also rode my HT in the park. 20plus days this year. Not a ton of riding.

If I didn't know better, I'd say that was a lucky guess.

the way that's fracture it looks like a bad casting that caused the fail.

thanks for the reminder tho, i think it's easy to forget about stuff like that.

We don't know what our limits are, so to start something with the idea of being limited actually ends up limiting us.

I agree, looks like that pedal was bad from the start.

2 years, that's not very long. Doesn't seem right. And seems like a funny place to break.
