lighter, better lookin without brakes, makes you a better rider and on todays bmx bikes, brakes are the main problems faced. everything else on the bikes is easy to fix

brakeless, it makes you a better rider, teaches you to control tricks at whatever speed your going. it looks better and can be lighter.

ive got my brakes on right now, but im taking em off for a little. i used to ride brakeless, and learned most of everything without em, so i wont have any trouble.

i like the safety of brakes though. they assure me that if im going fast, i can slow down if something gets in the way or something.

that and better balance are the only reasons i ride brakeless. since i took my brakes off ive been getting better manuals the only downside is no more abubacas

Well he does alot of tricks involving brakes.. And hes been around for a while so he wouldnt take em off. And it does make u go at least 2x faster on everything, because you cant "speed check" shit anymore, you just gotta pedal and do it. In park it gives u more flow and forces u to sometimes do airs you didnt mean to do hahaha
