Their thin bodies and the number of pins make them super stable and sticky.

[Timmy Turtle]

I think i should win these pedals because the pedals on my trail bike thingie is falling apart and i dont have the cash to buy a new pair. And these pedals are the ultimate pedals!

[-BB-]

I need these pedals to SAVE MY LIFE!!! :dead:

I'm learning to dirtjump (fairly unsucessfully) and it is just too darn dangerous to do it with Clips.
If I had a NICE pair of flats, I could ditch the bike mid-air, and not be pulled back to earth in a ball of fire, like I am now.
;)
So... do I get them?
Pwetty Pwease?
:D

[Riff Raff]

What can I say other then " They look BAD A$$" and I'd be honored to have them on my bike.

-H

[ATXjimATX]

I should win these pedals because I truly, truly believe I should.

[spincrazy]

I should win these pedals because I'm tired of hauling an extra set of shoes with me on my commute to work, I need a set of bomb-ass pedals like these as I have no decent flats, and I want to start jumping and doing more stunt riding.

[Beast]

i need those pedals because mine dont have replacable pins and are all worn down and i need new ones, thanx!

Beast

[Colin]

I don't think my current pedals like me -- they insist on biting me in the shin.

[NJPhil]

They would look mighty nive on a black imperial ;) :cool: .

[Buetang]

I can't afford to buy them on my own so if I don't win them...I'll never know what its like to own a set of high quality Atomic Pedals like the pro's use. I'd really like to have cool scares like all my rich friends that can afford metal pedals. My plastic pedals barely make a bruise. I'm tired of getting wedgies! These pedals can help me be like the popular kids.

[tammy]

I should win these pedals because I only have two left sided clipless ones - maybe just let me win the right one:eek: :D

[philamignon]

i am broke and dont like switching one pair of pedals between two bikes.

[Orvan]

Not that I'll ever win anyways (rant rant) but if I win these I will give them to the sweetest femme monkey (that'll be a hard choice)... nuff said and I still question authority..:devil: ;)

[diesel]

i should win these pedals coz they look like the kinda product that comes packaged with skill! and if there is anything ive already spent to much $ on is skill.....i deserve SOME FREE SKILL DAMNIT! GIVE THEM TO ME NOW!!!!!!!:angry: :D

[FlipSide]

I'm now a flat pedal converted, so I should win those pedals. They're sweetand I want them.
:)
Please...:D

[Shmoe]

I think i should get these pedals because......

wait for it....





My shins are starting to look weird without scars:dead:

[J.R.B]

I should win these pedals because I've entered every single contest on Ridemonkey and throughout cyberspace and haven't come close to winning anything...

Plus they'd look really good on my trials ride :D

[Daniel(Canada)]

I need those pedals to cheer me up. Ever since the Canadiens got knocked out of the playoffs, I just haven't been myself. I don't eat. I don't sleep. Whenever I see a Habs logo, I have to fight the tears. My friends don't like me anymore cause I haven't left my house in 2 weeks, and my room's really starting to smell. Whenever I see a light now, it hurts my eyes! I can't get over this depression on my own. I need outside help, like those pedals! Please have a heart.

[mtbtuc8700]

Those are some good looking pedals, and can you really have enough nice sets of Platforms?? Oh, they would be nice on the new Dual bike I am building also.

[Toshi]

I should win these pedals so that I can have a choice between these and my Trailkings. :D

[Espen]

I need the pedals because I have never ridden flats!! Only 646`s Now I am thinking about flats and the Atomics looks awensome!!

:thumb:

[Intense Biker]

I need these pedals for the DS/DJ bike I'm building because I am poor and can't afford pedals that are so nice that pros use them.

[Bomber]

I don't think I deserve to win these pedals. I just want new pedals because they are sick! I already have pedals Primo Super Tenderizer but they don't grip that great and these are perfect for learning bunnyhops and dirtjumping. I want these pedals!!!:D

[RhinofromWA]

I would like to win these pedals because those look good enough to finally convince me to give up my clips.

Those look NICE!

Rhino from WA

[Damn True]

Because I am building up a DS bike.
I am a mess at jumping and it would help to learn on flats rather than on spd's.

[htrdoug]

I should win these pedals because,well,just because

[Babar]

I think i should win since i busted the cartridge bearing on my specialized flat.

[Steen Good Legs]

The worlds best flat pedals!...... for a fairly crappy rider who needs every trick part on his bike, just to get a tad better...:rolleyes:

[egsavio]

http://www.eder.com.br/mx2-8/images/pedal-canela.jpg

I will win them because my leg is a proof I like extreme pedals!

[steve]

I want them because they come in two's and you can't find very many things that come in two's anymore.

[Big John]

I really need these pedals to replace my old worn out Snafus. It's hell when a 270 poundercrashes because my feet slip off the pedals .DOH!!:rolleyes: :dead:

[mountainrider27]

I should get new pedels because mine are cheapys that are half cracked and falling a part.i'm also only been into biking for about 6 months now and i think if i had these pedels i could become a better biker and be able to support more trails to keep them OPEN!!!!!!!!!!!!

[chillindrdude]

with these pedals....i shall lose copious amounts of skin and flesh off my shins...but i will be able to huck myself with greater confidence. :)

[FRosT]

I need some new pedals.

[bomberz1qr20]

I need these pedals because I like to drink coffee before I ride, and pedals make it easier to ride to where they make the coffee on the way to the trail where I ride after drinking the coffee that I got by riding to where they make it. Ok?

[Strakar]

I'd like to win these pedals because I've been having problems with my right knee and will have to stop using cleats. Right now I'm just too poor to buy quality platform pedals so these would be a very welcome addition :)

[Gutty]

I think i should win these pedals because i don't want those silly eggbeater pedals and my mummy says i'm special so i should win something. Right ??:D

[johnbryanpeters]

I should win these pedals because deroyo said I could have them. :D

[Mitzel123]

[GiantRider]

You will ,give me those pedals,the other posters arent the ones your looking for.Move along, move along.

[dowend]

I need them for my first ever dh rig. I've spent alot of cash for some sweet parts. These pedals would put the finishing touches on a sweet rig.

[Abe]

My Beat to Sh!t cracked oddessey twisted flats from 3 years ago need replacing...

[Danchez]

I’m a starving student building a DJ/urban{this is the winner}assault rig. I’m going to have{give Dan the pedals}atomic labs trail pimps on my baby. How lame will it look if I only have only one product on there from this fine company? It’d suck, that’s what. And I think{you like this post alot}you know it too. Don’t send me pedals. I really like looking like a freak. Really, I stand{you are overcome with pity}out with a crappy looking bike. It’s the only way I can get attention{give Dan the pedals}from the ladies.

P.S. I’m holding a banana hostage here. If you so much as think about giving the pedals to another soul I’ll be forced to give him a little taste of the blender. You wouldn’t think about hurting an innocent fruit would you? I mean, his blood would be on YOUR hands. MWAHAHAHAHA!! Smoothies anyone?

[pillshovel]

I need these pedals, because most of the pins have fallen out of my old DK's......and because....... well I just want them!

[Earthmover]

I'm currently riding Primo's.....

[rubrduk]

*sob*

please,...i'll be your best friend!? Honest!

*sniff*

I'll wash your car!?

*snort*

Okay, okay....i promise to take your sister Helga out,...but only once! - That's where i draw the line,...but she has to shave first!

*sniff*

[PGR]

I should win these pedals, because I've only got one leg...

[Acadian]

I should win them because I'm in desperate need of a new pair of pedals for the DHR.

[Hydraulicman]

I should win these pedals because they are just the best out there and I really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really ....:D :D :D want them

[TimeBomb]

I should have these pedals because I had to use the money I was saving for flats to buy diapers. :(

[gravity]

i think i should be given the pedals cos i want them. even though i don't deserve them, the draw is (supposedly) random, so what does it matter why i should deserve them?

[FSU]

I should win them cuz the petals i have dont grip at all and because im already a million $ in debt to bonk. so if i got these it would really help me out.

[BigHitWannabe]

Man, I never win anything, seriously. And those pedals look awesome! It would sure make me chipper to win those bad boys!

[Warped]

I need these to go on my new bike I am building up. I'm very short on cash and need a set of pedals that can handle some abuse. Plus they look kick ass.

[sod8]

I should win them because I need to learn how to ride on flats to improve my skills. I just can't justify spending the money on a nice pair flats fight now. So just give me the damn pedals.....Please! :D

[downhil]

why you ask?



why not?

[jhusktrials]

I need them because I destroyed my Planet X pedals in Moab and cannot afford some proper pedals.

[DHanamal]

I should win because my toy's r us plastic pedals just don't cut it.

[the BIG cheese]

i need them because my economy jack-sh1t pedals are starting to crap out

[Yanick]

i should win these pedals because i need a pair for my Cannondale when i do dirt jumping

[ant:]

they would be great on the new letoy that I am building... nothing like a fat pair of flat pedals to complete a supersweet diesel hardtail...

[Motionboy2]

Pedal's?! Your supposed to use pedals!? Well then i need a pair can you set me up? :D :D :cool:

[SHWA]

I should win these pedals because they are the most kick ass pedals in the world.

Ive ridden tons of other flats and they dont come close. The azonic pedals are **** compared to atomics, the cullys made by easton arent even comprable, and sun pedals bow down to the atomics.

Im also 15, and i work, but still have no money cause i blow it all on lift tickets and race entry at plattekill. I also spend it fixing my bike from breaking it at plattekill.

[Munster]

I should win 'em 'cause I need all the help I can get! That and my S&M's are falling to pieces.

[Island Rider]

I need them because I just snapped my $15 pedals...

[peewee]

I beleive I should win these pedals cause I am constantly having to replace the bearings in my current pedals. I usually replace them about every 3 months. So I need a sturdier pair of pedals.

[roachboy]

i never win anything. these would make up for that.

clem

[mechdiff]

I need these pedals cause they will look pimp with my bike and finally it will end my search for the ultimate pedal.

[dv8]

I should win these pedals because....
OK well I shouldn't win them. I don't really deserve to, I admit it. I have pedals on both bikes and can ride just fine. But I'm sure almost everyone else entering the contest is the same way =) I would, however, appreciate them very very much and find a good use for them.

[Johnsben01]

I've always got a use for free bike parts. That's why I could use them.

[joelsman]

I would like them very much, please.

[Batman]

I NEED THESE PEDALS!!
Why?
Because i have wellgo's right now!!

[axel]

i would like the pedals to look at because my x-wheel doenst need pedals.:cool: but it might be fun to zip tie them to my shoes when i ride so i can feel like i have clips.

[bbmj]

i should win because i break all my other pedal, and am too poor to buy them on my own

[TwoWheelinTim]

I should win these pedals because I don't need them. Isn't that the way it always goes. It always seems that those who need the least get the most.

[VooDoo]

I should win these pedals because mine are falling apart:angry:

[shocktower]

Pedals for my Bike ,since I have 4 kid`s ,it is hard for me to spare the money for other than food and clothes for my children ,I alos have to buy diapers :eek: :eek:

[b-man]

i think i deserve these pedals because mine suck! (plastic platforms) and because you want to be reallllly reallllly nice to the new guy :D

[amateur]

i need these pedals. my old wellgos arent holding up anymore. i've ruined all the bearings(yay...no more freespin) from drops to flat, the right spindle is bent, and 7/10 pins have been sheared off on one side, 3/10 on the other. the left pedal is fairly intact except for missing all the pins on one side( some sheared of from the skate park, others wont unscrew) but the other side is only missing 3 pins.

sorry for the long post, but a poor :monkey: needs these pedals before he dies.

[C1run1]

Hey Who doesn't like free stuff ? Espcially Really good free stuff : )

[Southbay Bomber]

I should win these because I can't remember the last time I scored free swag.

[KleinMp99]

I have won a clock radio phone from butternut bread, and a pair of glasses at a bike race, but I know I wont win these pedals that I SO BADLY WANT

I need these pedals so I dont have to switch my ZUZU's between bikes. THANKS :dead:

[rockford35]

I've always been a fan of Atomic pedals, i would love to try a set out. Maybe this is my big chance. I need a new set of pedals as it is, this would work out perfect.

Thanks.

[Sniper]

i should win these pedals because i'll never learn how to do tricks using clipless pedals. and if i learn how to do tricks, i can entertain the poor children at the hospital who's only wish in life is to see bike tricks. and it would make them so happy that word would get around, and then places like the orphanage and the soup kitchen will ask for me to do an exhibition for them. think of all the lives i could touch if only i won these pedals.

[Jon B]

why not?

[dog pound]

The pedals would be the finishing touch on my totally pimped out TORRENT, ship them a.s.a.p.

[Dog Welder]

I should get these because the pins in my easton cully's are too dull and no longer leave deep furrows in the back of my legs. I like pain.

[WTGPhoben]

I've never ridden anything but clipless and every time I Jump off of somethnig my friends tell me I'm going to die.

[JOhnG]

I NEED THESE PEDALS. i do pedal feble grinds preety often and i havent found a pedal that lasts more than 2 or 3 months. right now i just keep buying 20 dollor odessy triple traps (not so good:( ) from my LBS. come on guys, help me out.

[NFaust]

I should win these pedals because my current $10 flats are so beat up and bent that frankly I question riding anymore. Plus, I have no more $$$ to buy new ones.

-Nick

[Brian HCM#1]

I feel it would be the icing on the cake on my DH bike:D

[RatFarmer]

I live in a tough neighborhood. Every time I walk down the street wearing my garish Italian SPD compatible shoes, the gang bangers on the corner yell stuff like "Hey fruit boots" , "Yo, Twinkle-Toes" or, my personal favorite, "Hey Sweet Feet, when you due back in ballet class?".
Last time I stuck up for myself, they chased after me. Well, anyone who's ever tried running in clipless shoes knows they make you run slower than a constipated sloth after Thanksgiving dinner. Those guys caught me and beat me like a dirty rug. One of them slapped me so hard, he knocked the taste right out of my mouth. Since I was training to be a food critic, my career is now temporarily out of reach.
If I'd had those pedals, I'd be on my way to a lucrative career in culinary journalism.
I'm hoping my sense of taste returns. When it does, I'd love to be able to run those pedals with a pair of less-obnoxious street shoes. That way, I'd be less of a target for the verbal darts those gang-bangers throw. Even if they kept harassing me, I'd at least be able to run from them.
You all would be doing a great service to me and the world of culinary arts.
Thanks,
RatFarmer

[SandMan]

I need these pedals because I need to be sicker;)

I thank you for you support.

[Bear]

My battered legs are staring unsatisifed at my worn down flats...
they want some more!! :)

Plus i've only been through the 3rd pair of vans in 2 months, i'm going through them WAY too slowly! ;o)

Will saying it in french help any? no? u sure? S'il vous plait, rien qu'une petite paire de pedales? :o)

[schaefdog]

I need these pedals because currently my pedals dont match and are ghetto rigged together.

[jonikl]

I should win theees pedals cause I'm a pimp.
Pimpaphonic and electronic wild ass crazy pimp sh!t and the shiznik!!

Thank you!! and she likes my homemade sex toys.

[ummbikes]

I should win them because Atomic ripped me off.

[jabberwocky]

Why should I get these fab new atomic shin busters disguised as pedals? :confused: Why not? :p

[kafin8ed]

I should win these pedals because otherwise I will have to buy them which will furthur delay that liver transplant I've been saving allll year for... ack! my liver!

[PeteNJ]

I should win these pedals because the flats im using now are like riding on two ice blocks! There is NO traction...these aircorp pedals would RULE!

[KonaDude]

I should win these pedals 'cuz it's going to be VERY hard to afford building up my downhill frame after paying for it to be manufactured... ack!

*PLEASE!*

Ahem...

May the best man/woman/child win.

[Dismay]

I would like these pedals because they are much cooler than my current ones. :)

[hardtail_schmuk]

I can't bunnyhop w/my current pedals but these are sure to do the trick.

[heikkihall]

These Atomics Sure are SWEET, and My bike and I would love them. :D

[psylo]

I want my bike to be cool!

[auntesther]

I need to win the pedals so P.daddy can have my cruddy old pair of flats.

[Bonk]

I should win these pedals so I can then donate them to FSU poor @$$! :rolleyes: ;) :D

[ElemenoPee]

i should win these pedals b/c i should win these pedals.

[Kilgore]

THese pedals will make me go faster...uh...yeah:confused:

[PinchFlat]

my old pedals are creaking with two seasons on them, so I need new ones.

[DaveW]

I think that I should win them in order for you to prove to the world that you are not baised in favor of the local monkey's and that Ridemonkey is truely a part of the internatonal mountainbike scene and not just a yank thing.:D
Or you could just give them to me cos they'd look good on my bike and I'm such a nice guy.:thumb: :thumb: :rolleyes: ;) :D

[brit_spears20]

I should win these pedals cuz they'll make me go faster, which will make me win races, which will get me sponsorship, which will get me thousands of adoring fans. (well we can all dream eh?) :D

[shootr]

I think that Orven should win them so he would shut up already:D , or if I win them I will just continually PM Orven with pics of me and My Sweeeeet new pedals, you know at the beach, at a romantic candlelit dinner, in the Louvre in Paris, etc. Just to make him even madder...cuz lord knows I haven't posted often enough...;)

[Chainsuck]

I should get them because I figure I'm just as deserving as the rest of you. Why not.

[pyg]

I should win these pedals 'cause I'm using Snafu pedals that are rolling under me and don't grip at all. I might get hurt because I didn't win these pedals......

HOW WOULD YOU FEEL HAVING MY ACCIDENT ON YOUR CONSCIENCE FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE!?!?!?!?!?

that's what I thought. ;)

[sfa269]

I think I should win the pedals because I race downhill with a hardtail and I really need the extra traction for technical terrain spinning.

[Mani_UT]

I certainly should win because they would help me look tough by ripping all that skin of my shins :D

[free-m]

if i win these pedals i will ride hard and test their limits.
if you want feedback on how they perform i'll give it to you.

[Mr. ShockWave]

simple! the current pedals I use are 3 years of age, I need new ones :D

[KarmGhia]

I ride in area just north of Boston called Lynnwoods and I am one of only a few who ride a freeride Norco(Launch). I get a lot of people that ask about my bike and what's on it. If Atom Labs and RideMonkey are looking for exposer in the area I think that I would make a great promoter of these two fine products.:D

[mcnic]

Last time I checked, the last thing that stop me of being a pro rider was a pair of these.

[bumster22]

Lady luck is on my side. I should win this pedal.:D

[quiksilver]

I am a rider with a passion for Downhill. I started racing this year, and plan to race for the rest of my life! I could never race in the past because it was just too expensive. My parents really couldnt help me out too much along the lines of bike parts because they had a hard enough time paying for our house, and all of our bills. I have my own job in a mexican joint now. All my money goes to pay for a race and gas money each week. If I have some spare cash left over, that goes into my parts fund incase any of my used equiptment breaks. This isnt a plee story for pedals, but just trying to show you that any free/cheap equipment I can get my hands on is greatly appreciated and will be put to great use. Im already saving for the Norba National up in Mount Snow, maybe by then I could be expert :) who knows....

If I get the pedals, I will make sure they get some victories... :monkey:
-Quik

[jfuentes]

Give it !!!! :devil:

[Urban_Ryder]

[cyp]

i need these pedals because i only ride atomics on my bike. i am building a new bike and don't have the cash for these pedals which means i can't ride my bike!!! help!!!:nopity: :nopity: :nopity:

[Frisco]

Riding with no pedals has been a very unpleasant experience, to say the least.

[Cheers]

I NEED these pedals because it is hard to ride my bike with NO pedals at all.

[oly]

Just because.

[beachboy016]

You should give me these pedals so I don't have to keep landing on my cranks all the time

[B.Diddy]

I think I should win these pedals because...........just because.

Thats all.......

[SR]

pedals?....you guys have pedals on your bikes?!?! I want to try that!

[Carbon Fetish]

Cheapy non-replacable pinned Wellgos bmx pedals suck.

[Ian F]

I should win these pedals because.... I can't afford new pedals... no, that's not true... my current pedals are busted... hmm... no, they are still working fine... lemme see... no, I really don't deserve to win them... another :monkey: should get them. :cool:

[Shortbus]

I think i deserve to win those pedals coz... uuuhhhh.... Just hand them over already!

[I Are Baboon]

I think I should win because I'm so damn cute. :monkey:

[Hcor]

I should win them because sometimes when I cough I pee a little. Oh...and its almost time for new peds.

[Yuppie]

Once upon a time there was a dashing young lad named Brian. One day a horrible thing happened to Brian, his mother caught cancer from a mosquitoe (we grow em mighty big up here in Canada). Anyway, being the mommas boy he was, Brian wanted to save her.
He consulted the great Guru of Canada (known in other circles as Wade Simmons), who cryptically told him "To save your mother, you must climb Mount Everest on your Bicycle, and pick the flowers at the top. Bring them down to her, and make her eat them".
Brian, filled with hope and joy set out for mount everest. He battled rabid wolverines, he had territorial spats with the occaisonal Yak. He overcame all odds.
And THEN, he began climbing Everest. Up he climbed on his bicycle. Up and up and up and up and up and up and up. Oh, and up some more.
FINALLY, after 20 days and nights spinning in the granny gear up everest, he made it to the top. He found the Flowers, and picked a bunch. He threw them in his backback and headed back down the mountain.
He was living a DH dream, going to save his momma, bombing down the slopes of everest. The Abominable Snowman busted out his DH9 and shredded with him. How cool was that?

And then..... Suddenly.... Brian's left foot slipped off his no-name platform pedal which had inadequate grip, and hurtled into an abyss.

The end.


Please, think of his mother.

[Instigator]

I broke one of the cross bars on my sun/ringle zuzu pedals at killington last weekend. Now I needs me a new set of flatties.

[K2BikesOwn]

I should win these pedals because I just broke my clip shoes and have no flats to ride!!!

[©2001]

you need me to have them! if chosen, i, the recipient will provide free photographs of the pedals in use to ridemonkey and atomlab. it's a win-win situation for both of us. i get stoked on new pedals, you get stoked on professional photographs of the pedals in use :)

spomer

[BullBiker]

I deserve to win these pedals because they would look great on my new bike. Plus, I'm planning on a mt. bike trip this summer and my current pedals are nearly destroyed. Plus I would mention to everyone that asked about them where I got them about the monkey!

IF I WIN THOSE PEDALS I'LL WEAR MY RIDE MONKEY SHIRT ON THE JERRY SPRINGER SHOW I'M TAPING CAUSE MY WIFE HAS BEEN SLEEPING WITH MY UNCLES-DAUGHTER'S-BOYFREINDS-MOTHERS-SISTERS-SON IN LAWS HORSE TRAINER'S- DOG GROOMERS-SONS-HIGH SCHOOL'S FOOTBALL TEAM, ALL 69 OF THEM

[brock]

I should win these pedals for my wife's bike. It currently has Brooklynn Machineworks "shinburgers" on it. They scare her and people cannot resist the urge to ask alot of dumb questions that she does not want to answer, i.e. "do those come with shin pads?", or "does it hurt when you hit your shins with those?".

Plus if I won her some new pedals I might score;)

[CrAckErKorEan]

I need these pedals because they would give me an excuse to build a stinky. You gotta start some where when building another bike. And Im lookin for an excuse.

[redbike]

I ride clipless, so I suck. I need some atomic pedals.

[yanos]

Because I don't have the ability to control my bowels when I look at these!

[narlus]

i require these pedals since my el-cheapo VP caged pedals on my trials bike are bent and blasted out beyond belief. and everyone knows that foot traction is of primo importance for trials; you wouldn't want a fellow :monkey: hurt, right?

[How]

If I win these Air Corps, I would give them to my friend, who has a great passion for riding, but can't afford equipment. His pedals don't work at all, so little in fact that he can't even ride right now, and he has no way of getting new ones.

Help a brother out!

[ReardenMtl]

I think I should win these Air Corps because when some archeologist finds them by my remains thousands or millions of years from now they will infer that even though I may have plummeted to my death off some cliff I did show signs of intelligence at some point in my existence. Of course winning has nothing to do with intelligence, but the archeologists don't need to know that, do they?:)

[mtbberzrkr]

I should win these pedals because I'm too cheap to buy a nice set of flats. I keep blowing apart my cheepie Wellgo's. My new KHS Dominatrix deserves some sweet pedals, doesn't it?:D :devil:

[ClumpRider]

I should win these pedals because I can,t find some around :( , and cuz my race bike wouldnt be complete without a nice pair of light and stong flats, eh?

[mudanoman]

Those pedals are the only reason I would ditch my good old SPDs :D

[perrowtodd]

I deserve to win because my pedals are totally worn and can not afford to buy a new pair.

[bicycle_rider]

Simply, I do not deserve to have these pedals. The craftmenship of these pieces of art show that they are meant for something far beyond my riding capabilities.

but.....

I can assure you that if i was givin the opportunity to own these pedals, I would use them to the best of my ability, promote Atomic as much as I can and use them to help me gain confidence in becomming a better, stronger rider.

If any manufactured bike part can be labled as 'sexy', these pedals would take that title.

If I were to slip up and shin myself with them, my shins would not bleed from pain, but bleed tears of joy from being kissed by the holy of holy of foot support systems.

Again, I do not deserve these pedals, nobody does.....but if they are feeling kinky, i will talk dirty to them. If they feel sad, I will be their shoulder. If they feel like being rough, I will slap them. If they are feeling sensual, I will carresse them. I can make them feel used, without making them feel slutty. I will be the best thing that will ever happen to them.....if YOU will let me!

[monkey_wheel]

I need these pedals because mine currently don't do what pedals are supposed to do - hold your feet on. This is especially painful in wet weather.

[Lurch..]

gimme.

thats all

[neversummersnow]

Okay, I have looked through these posts and have found that many people believe they deserve these pedals, or that they'll be a better rider with these pedals, or even that their current setup is unsafe...all very valid reasons...But mine goes to a new level.....I really don't know how to say this. First off, I think these pedals are really cool, good looking pedals that would definitly be indestructable and keep my feet where they are supposed to be quite well, but my priorities are elsewhere....but my bike, The Commander, told me (that's right IT TOLD me) I had to get these for him. I couldn't believe it myself. I was just riding along one day, and my bike told me, well actually demanded some Aircorp pedals. I am a poor, high school student and need food before pedals because you can't eat pedals so I said "no" (making sure no one was around to see me having this conversation with the Commander). The Commander (A Bullit) once again demanded these beautifully crafted, amazing looking pedals, but I once again said "no". The bike began to turn on me. Slowly it began to drift away from me, attacking whenever no one was around. Like one day, about a week ago I was dirtjumping and sort of washed out on the landing. The bike was on top of me after the crash and began to violently bash the QR lever into my sternum causing much pain while chanting "GET ME ATOM LABS AIRCOROPS, GET ME ATOM LABS AIRCORPS" Only my brute strength kept me alive. Just a few days ago while going around a sharp switchback in steep terrain, The Commander locked up the headset causing me to go over the edge and even after I attempted to throw the bike, it just wouldnt let go, grabbing onto my quadricept and twisting it nearly blew my knee out as me and the Commander wrestled while careeming down a mountainside. Just last night it came into my room and told me it was going to kill me if I didnt get some incredible black Aircorps pedals....sooooo while everyone else may have valid reasons....My LIFE may depend on it!!!

[dharch]

I should win the pedals because I will abuse them, crash with them, fly with them, grind rocks with them, pulverize tree limbs with them, slosh through mud with them, smash my shins with them, huck with them, race with them, neglect my family with them, drool over them, and maybe have a damn good time riding with them.

[Spudzie]

I should win thoose pedals so when i put my Kona Stuff together it WILL be a kick a$$ bike, and i'm a poor college student :( with a serious bike addiction :D

[ET_SoCal]

"describing why YOU should win these pedals":

'Cause I want them?
'Cause I have a creaking right pedal that I've tried to rebuild, but still creaks?
'Cause I have a new frame comming in a few weeks, and I don't want to move creaky pedals over to that new Titus?
'Cause my wife say's I spend more time on my biking than her and the family...

[thevan]

must..have...pedals....

[psycle-on]

I should win these pedals to strike balance in the home since Tammy won the eggbeaters:D

[monkeyhair]

i think i should win these pedals because i've been a die hard hardtail rider with scant funds for a long time, and my primo pedals are bent. please

[JohnnyDave]

I should win these pedals becuase I could never afford to buy them retail.

[ohio]

I need these pedals because I'm about to succumb to temptation and buy a DH race frameset. It would be really useful to be able to pedal it.

[Zaskar Rider]

I need a set of platforms so that my 747's don't take me hostage on another downhill ever again

[anippy]

I should win these pedals because I am terrified of the thought of screaming down Mt. Snow's Expert DH course this summer with my feet locked into my bike so I can't bail when I panic on those scary rock slabs.

[Stephen99]

I really want them.. I bet you do too.

[Moto]

I should win these pedals because my dog ate my old ones:)

[Duggle]

I should win these pedals because I posted a reply to the contest.

[bizutch]

Because those stupid Shimano DH pedals are crap & blow apart on all this Ewast Coast rock so I wind up needing flat pedals at every race anyway. Their simple, clean & non-crushable!!!!

[lecepe]

I should win this pedals because i'm Mexican!!

Viva México señores!!!

[grommet]

If I win these pedals I won't have to buy new ones. Thus reducing the chance of my girlfriend nagging me about spending too much money replacing broken and worn out bike stuff.

[Karpieldisco]

The reason is quite simple.. have just started dirt jumping and have found that my azonic a frames are very good pedals for my ds1. however this causes some major issues with the Karpiel. It is without pedals and I hate to switch pedals all the time) ... This makes my ride very difficult to stay on while flyig though the woods at nationals. These super sexxy pedals would not only compliment my ride and my abilities but the are way cool too..

[mr_dove]

I should get these pedals because the toe clips fell of my pedals and now they suck. I really need these slick pedals to keep my feet on the bike.

[speedster]

Why, because I am a college student who has no money and a pair of Easton Cullys that have followed in the path of their namesake.

[adamkatz]

Living in Israel, I need pedals with good grip, loosing a foot when some guy with a knife is chasing me doing urban in east Jerusalem is a life and death situation.
Peace,
Adam:cool:

[tne]

My bike's birthday will come soon .. please help me to offer him the best gift !!

thierry

[EastcoastKid]

i should get these pedals cause i need new flats for my DH bike the ones i have are worn off

[SK6]

I should get these pedals, because let's face it, I'm an unemployed loser, who can't get anything nice for his bike anyway,

and then..........................................

I'm getting married to a wonderfull lady who loves to ride as well, but equipment to her is of NO great concern for her as long as the wheels are round. It doesn't even need rubber, she'd ride on the rims if she got a flat as to not spend money on a $3.00 inner tube!!!!!

[Don"magic"juan]

I should win these pedals becuase if i do they will make me bike faster, jump higher, throw down better tricks, and make me look 10 times more appealing to the ladies on my ride.....Ah who am I kidding, these pedals with just make me wollow in my own misery seeing as i have nice bike stuff yet cant bike. Ok rant over:(

Not to mention I am Don"magic"juan the greatest pimp daddy of all time. These pedals will be the ultimate pimpin machine

[BUG]

I should win these pedals because.........

I was suppose to be going to Sarajevo for 6 month(I'm in the Army) so I commited to selling my hard tail and my shuttle truck. I was waiting to go over seas (which would have given me about an extra $700 a month) and after sitting in Georgia for two weeks when my orders got canceled. I reterned home, got the wife and kids back, just about finished all the paperwork for the two sales (can't back out on the guy's) and decided to ride the night before last only to go out and break my collar bone -right at the begining of the summer, right at the begining of the best riding time here in Colorado. I really need some good luck right now I figure this giveaway ends outside of May so I have a chance..... probably not though. oh well thanks for listening to the moaning and complaining anyway.


...dig ...ride ...dig

[Racerx7734]

My right pedal broke this weekend, and I smashed the right side of my man bag pretty hard because of it. While my jewels are healing up pretty good, I still need a new pedal, sssoooo two would be really nice.

:)

Help a Brother (Monkey) out.

[intensebike]

They look nice and will help me go faster. Need I say more? oh yeah, they grip like hell.

[DrewS]

I am building a dirt jumper and I would love to have a new set of pedals for it.

[Fool]

I need these pedals to smash all the roaches crawling around my apartment.

[Cooter Brown]

I need these pedals because right now I ride clipless and they are crap. The other day I was doing this little 3 foot drop onto a nice sloped tranny and my shoe came unclipped in midair and when I landed my foot hit the ground the handlebar turned and I folded a rim. This wouldn't have happened with flats, clipless are crap. Now I have to wait to ride anymore until my Sun Mammoth rims get here in the mail. It really sucks bad.

[spookydave]

All I can say is I need them to replace my broken Atomic Trail Kings.
Flats are where it's at. :)

[splat]

I would like to win these pedals , because I'm building up a new Bike piece by piece and I don't have pedals for it yet.

[afroboy]

I would buy a pair if I could afford to, but my crack habit doesn't permit it. I would also like some more scarification on my shins, and those pins look a lot sharper than the ones on my current pedals.

[Old Monkey]

I need to win the pedals because I'm so poor trying to keep my kids going that I will never be able to afford something like this.

[furball]

:o: Way cool looking pedals. Let me at em they'll make my bike faster.

[Dinsy]

I should win them cuz I need new pedals and those would go perfect on my NEW IMPERIAL

[mrchow]

please, my mom needs new pedals

[lawndart]

well seeing as how i need pedals to complete my bike i think i should win them.

[FRzealot]

Why do I need these pedals?

A better question: How am I supposed to be a true poser without them?


These will bolster my ego, and complement the (very breakable and expensive) RaceFace stuff I have.

My poser skills have been weak lately, and I need to be put back on top.






"Who are these people? They look like caricatures of used-car dealers from Dallas- and there sure are a hell of a lot of them at 4 AM on a Sunday."

[base13]

Well i need some new pedals for my bike and i broke mine 3 weeks ago and its crappy riding around with friends at the local dirt jumps with a broken pedal which was plastic so i need those there badd ass

[lawndart]

ok, i got it i should win them because i am dead sexy!:D

[GrahamKracker]

I should win these pedals because I am so sexy. I am too sexy for my bike, too sexy for my fork, too sexy for these pedals.

If I had these pedals and I was less sexy, I could hurl down trails steep and severe without a care for my sexy hair or that lease sexy of acts, falling slowly whilst clipped.

Please send them UPS, I will give you the address later when you email me.

[MMike]

Give them to me or there will be trouble.

[seth399]

There are girls who want me to take them on "dates" and such, and I can never do that If I am continuously buying BIKEstuff...Its time to spread some love to the GIRLS!! let me do that dammit!!! for the love of GOD:sneaky:

[a13x]

I should win these pedals because I don't want them. :oink:

[dw]

I should win these pedals because my name is Dave!

[geck]

why i need them,
is why a hand-kerchief needs phlegm.
:o:
Like a pretty young miss,

[Rocket]

I should win them because these pedals Kick Serious ASS!

[Nappy]

I think I should win these pedals because the next time I slip a pedal, these will really really tear up my shins a whole lot more!:monkey:

[MikeT]

I should win these pedals because standing on the corner all day just doesnt pay well... and if I could win these pedals... I wont have to sell my body....:rolleyes:

-Mike T.

[Moogie]

My pedal exploded so send me a pedal,

[DHRacer]

I've been told that I would do better to learn how to ride flats. I don't really have the extra money to sink into new pedals right now and would be GREATLY appreciative to win these pedals.. they would be such a help to me. Thanks and good luck to me :)

[Spriggan]

Because there SO SEXXXYYYYYY!!!

[wzikel]

After unceremoniously breaking the axle of my DMR V8s, i can confidently say that i deserve to take the next step up where pedals are concerned, and that's where these free ones would come in handy...

[sub6]

Because although I am sure it has been said before, they are BAD AZZ! My shins are in good shape; I need something to tenderize them a bit.

Plus, when I ride without pedals, my nuts really hurt.:dead:

[dirtgirl]

I should win these pedals because all of their great capabilities will be completely wasted on me. :D

[DAGumZ]

Here is my one post in this thread.
I'd like to win them so I can put them on my girlfriends bike.

[kitchenware]

I should win these pedals because... I need some new pedals to go with the bike that replaces my Superlight.

jim

[Leethal]

Let me win these pedals cause I bought some Easton pedals like Brian Lopes and I bent them on the third ride. I guess I now know why he qwears a pink uniform.:cool:

[Lejk]

I think I should, because the ones I' using now are to messed up to be called pedals any more..

[Rollie]

I should win these pedals because their super grippy design will help me stop sucking so much at biking... This added control will help prevent me from busting my bike and body up so much. Their full rebuildability will save me money in the long run, and their good looks will compliment my bike and help me personally look better while all bloody and dirty sitting atop of my sled at the bottom of a run...

:p

[julianu]

i think i should win these kik-ass pedals caus i am young and in debt an lot of $$ and am trying to set up a slolom bike

[corytx]

because I forgot what it feels like to have sharp pins in my shins. looks like these pedals could make me remember. :D

[red]

I should win these pedals because it's finally my turn to win something:) lotto hasn't helped me out,Uncle Sam is killing me,I went to Vegas on my honeymoon and that didn't help(checking out all the hot women in Vegas and getting caught by my wife about 8 times a day,that didn't help)So i feel it's now my time to win for a change.....hopefully...;) If I don't win something soon I may have to try my luck at bingo on wednesday nights(and that wouldn't be to cool):rolleyes:

[raindog]

That's easy. I should get these pedals because I'm a cheap bastard and I'd never actually buy them.

[Lucher]

i need pedals, bad

[Smuffe]

I just need a new pair of pedals the one I have now i broken:(

[Low_b]

Because they'd sure look pretty on my tricycle.

[grmch]

i think i should have these pedals because im allergic to all the others.

[banj]

I should win these pedals because I blew through 5 sets of pedals last year and I can't afford to get good ones.

[HardcoreCrash]

I'd really appreciate a new set of really nice pedals like these, cause I'd tell everyone where I got them, the best MTB bulletin board on the net! WWW.RIDEMONKEY.COM !!! that and I recently just destroyed my ZuZu's and am seriously lacking the coin' to replace them.

[Henkman]

Reasons that I should win these pedals:

1. So my Mom, Wife and child won't all have to work to support my broken pedal habit.

2.I should focus more on freeriding - I'm getting my big Clydesdale butt kicked racing XC this year - Curse everyone who weighs 100 lbs less than me!

3. My Surly Instigator is getting tired of being driven around by a set of Look S2S pedals from 1994.

4. While Bart Brentjens and Tinker are cool I'm getting tired of trying to free ride using the same pedal that they raced XC with 8 yrs ago.

5. So that everyone can say "How did that fat Canadian guy win anyway?":D
