You push the tip of your shoe into the tyre/rear wheel behind the seat at the seat stay bridge. I'm sure there are video tutorials on Youtube.

you can kick out your back end so it slides/skids a bit. it doesnt really make you stop though just slows you down a bit. or you can do as they said which seems to be the most effective way. also try sitting down and taking your feet of the pedals and stomping the ground to slow down/stop. basically do whatever works for ya
I'm on the vital legit list!

stomping is best, saves your shoes/tire as long as you dont drag your foot after. Another good way to slow down is to ride on grass.

You can always buy new shoes and tires. you cant buy a new Ass if you get hit.

That is also true.... I guess the tip is.... Don't ride breakless unless you have practiced stopping methods.

Theres this thing called the face grind where you stop yourself by grinding your face across something........or you could be smart and put brakes back on and gain some bike control

I just jab my foot into the rear tire. It seems to work the best.
Why be the same when you can be different?
