1.Do you like them?
I don't mind them, I used to fuckin hate them because before I rode bmx I would just ride a Wal-Goose around and to my friends house and one day I was riding down a grass hill and I did the brilliant thing of pulling the front brake instead of the back brake, and I flew forward onto my arms and ended up breaking my right arm. When I first started riding bmx for real I thought front brakes were so stupid just because of my error.
2. Do you like watching them, either in edits or in person?
I don't mind them, it's refreshing to see and one older guy that rides at the skate park has them and does nose jams on the quarters, they look badass but so scary. Another guy I saw with just front brakes was doing feeble to G-turn with them, I was like what the fuck haha so sick.
3. Would you ride them?
Not personally, just because brakes were never really my style. Who knows though, maybe I'd end up dicking around with them for a day or 2, maybe even a week, but they'd inevitably come off. I like doing random foot jam tricks and foot jams on odd objects when I find them so maybe front brakes would be fun for that.
4.Do you think they will be one of the hot/big trends in the near future?
If a popular pro starts riding them and showing what can be done with them, then of course. If Stevie Churchill came out riding them in an edit, I can almost guarantee they'd blow up.
5. If they do trend, do you think it will include rear brakes? or be fronts only?
Probably just fronts if it's a trend, but who knows, maybe kids will actually learn tricks with them instead of having them just for show, and wanna learn brake stalling tricks like abubacas and such.
