I ride street and park and I was wondering if it would be a good idea to get gyro brakes. Im currently riding brakeless and it looks really bad with the cable guides just hanging there.

If you're not doing constant whips and bars then get straight cable. Cheaper and works better. Also lighter not that it really matters. Just make sure to get a Linear cable. I would suggest Tree SB.
Plus with my experience, gyros are only good when you have the most expensive set up. That $20 ody gyro kit doesnt do shit.

Have to disagree about a single cable pulling better than a gyro, i have dual lowers and uppers with a trp brake and ody m2 lever total cost 60. Oh im also using a standard oryg gyro.
