i think the little clip vs flat is over well i didnt read all the post made and havent been on in a while so i just put my two cents in ➡
ok, idc if you use them or not, i think its all up to the rider/parents if they want there kids to use clips…i dont think kids that are just starting out shouldnt use them unles they can jump/manual/win a few races before racing with clips crosses there mind…but my question is who is clips really hurting? if it isnt hurting someone then lets just drop the clip vs flat battle…if ur hurting because the person next to you is using clips and beats you and your pissed because of the “xtra advatange” pedal faster and race harder….not to bust chops but where not old school racing anymore some of use the more older riders mainly that want to stick with how it used to be old school more power to you but the sports changing and with that racing styles change and new patterns devolp, theres nothing we can do about it…just like you have the peopel for slingshootign out of the gate and you got the people against that think it should be that orginal gate snap, clips vs flats and slingshot vs snap there both topics that will never have a answer too, all we can do is put in our own opinion of what we feel but back to the clips if you dont race clips because they are “dangerous” then dont race the clips race with flat pedals and dont go around telling people to use flat pedals cause there “safer” well i think most people using clips understand that flats are safer but it all comes to what the racer is comfortable with…if you want a entire race where is nothing but flats maybe suggest to the NBL or local track to do flat opens more
well yes i do race clips and nothin will change my mind but like i said if u want to race flats race flats if you want to race clips race clips but dont knock on other people on what there prefernce is
hopefully i didnt confuse anyone but thats my little rant 8)
