How to make "Deck Pins"

First off, you're going to need a deck, and a set of pedal pins.
If you don't have pins, get them here: http://www.danscomp.com/469026.php?cat=PARTS

Now, you need a drill, and a ruler. Mark off equal distances on the deck. I started mine 1 inch back from the foldy, and put 1 pin on each side every 2 inches or so back.

When you have your holes marked, drill a hole the next size smaller than the pins. All pedals have different size pins, so you're going to have to figure the size out on your own.

After you drill the holes, screw in the pins up through the bottom of the deck, as far as they go, with an allen key. This way they won't rattle and come loose.

If your pins are rattling, you can hot glue the head of the pins.


Pros:
So much grippier
Feet won't slip when wet/muddy
Looks cool

Cons:
Pins can rattle if you don't tighten them
Adds like an ounce of weight, omgzzz

so i take it that you can only have them on the sides?
You could do it in the middle, but it'd be weaker and pointless.
Look at how a bike pedal is designed, or even just think about when your feet are on the deck.
You don't need them in the middle, the outside works great.
