A very good plan with only one problem...I can jam my OS brakes on as hard as I like and all that happens is that I slow down...a bit. I really don't understand how anyone did any tricks BITD with most of the brakes that were available...did you sort of jam on the brakes then jump on the bike after Don't get me wrong I love OS bikes, but I just cant get anything done with the brakes.Ray.
Well i feel a bit different although I'm old school and run two brakes and love a braked nose pick I love the new school brakeless thing.Now at my age its fair to say that I'm never gonna take my brakes off but if I was much younger I would have them off like a shot, I just love watching brakeless riders as IMO they have so much flow and the rate they progress is mind blowing.I also love the new school bikes my current bike is just in a different league for rideability and for looks compared to anything i had bitd.I will never forget my roots and love talking sh it about old school bmx but I do like where bmx is today.

GGary I didn't mean progression in general I was meaning the rate a brakeless rider progresses compared to a braked rider.
