Thinking about when I get my WIFI, I am going to throw on a front brake and have no rear brake
I have a Federal v2 Coaster now too.
What do you guys think of bikes with only a front brake?
Welp, broke past 1000... yeeeee

Its a good idea, feels nice, expands your trick list.
used to run it (Never really run rear brakes at all) was fun to do fakie 180 pivots to fakie and feeble stoppie back in the bowl.
Try it out and you can always take it off if you dont like it

I've been running fronts only for around 6 months now. Just taken them off today due to my pads ripping.
I'm a punk bmxer, I can't do it well so I do it loud.

When i tried this temporarily i didn't really notice a difference between having front only or rear only. Try it and see if you like it though, you'll never know.

Give it a go, it is a good time.
Look for Jonah Lidberg footage. he runs that with a coaster and does some awesome stuff.
