and whats the difference between sealed and unsealed?

Not a BMXer, but I'd go for the easterns. They'll be lighter, and it's nice to have replaceable pins, as they will get worn down.

Sealed bearings generally last longer, but aren't serviceable. With unsealed, you can repack with fresh grease and replace bearings to keep them going for longer. With sealed, you just toss out the old ones and press in new ones.

the mosh pedals will provide better grip (more studs) and will be stronger because they are 4130 cromo, however magnesium is also strong but much more lighter than cromo.

get some knee-pads though, if you havent got any. getting studs to the shins is a real bitch. a mate of mine came off of a dirt jump and had to get stitches on his shins because the pedals gashed them open so badly.

sealed imho is the way forward, alot less maintenance involved. when they do go, (which normally takes ages..) they can be a bit costly to replace.

just my 2 cents.

TBH, either set will be fine. Not that much of a difference at that price range.
