I can imagine a structural design looking like a spiderweb, like the Beijing birdīs nest stadium being strong, but would still probably not last for a bike throwing- pedal grinding bmxer.

For a certain subset of rider (non-grinding, non-bike-throwing) nice pedals would work. But I agree that the average bmx thrasher would kill nice pedals in a week.

agreed. if you are really smooth/never leave the ground, posh mtb pedals could work but in most cases id say not

DH bike pedals get ridden pretty hard, especially on 24/26" DJ bikes. They would be just fine for a smooth bmx rider.

I want these pretty bad. It's a shame they're like 200$.

Just nick some spindles from an old set of pedals and you could make them for next to nothing.
