So,
I've just picked up a new DJ/pumptrack bike (Norco Havoc), got a question for those in the know. What kind of pedals do people run on these rigs? For now, I've put on an old pair of Wahwahs, just wondering if there is something specific I should be looking at?
This bike is mainly for pumptrack duties, and general messing about in the neighborhood. No street, and probably not much actual dirtjumping (although I do intend to find myself a little spot where I can dig a line, so I'll be getting into DJ a bit more over time).
I do want good grip (hated the plastic pedals that were on there from the factory), but I can imagine dirtjumping all day and bailing lots, would not be ideal with sharp pins...?
What do the DJ peeps here recommend?

i use these... the pins don't tear apart my shins like the Straitlines on my dh bike do and they're light, low profile and still relatively grippy. I say for djs the pedals don't need to be as aggressive as dh but don't skimp on pedals/footwear... a platform pedal and a stiff shoe will still enhance the enjoyment.
