You're not going to have much fun riding trials with no brakes though.

couple of reasons for brakeless riding
a) It's cool
b) Kids today don't know how to fit a brake
c) Can't brake before taking off ramps, have to go big
d) If you've mastered bmx with a brake, next step is to do it brakeless.
e) brakes, levers, cables cost monies.

And that has been Budgie's guide to going brakeless.

I used to ride with both brakes and 2 pegs. BMX fashion is ghey, I always connected riding brakeless to having no money

Hummm seconds hand ones look knackered all paint chippin off, no brakes, no seats. Is that whats cool?

My old bikes from 80s and 90s were washed every week, brasso the hell out of them, waxed etc

Shame i had a redline 240 which was my fav bike, activator 1 and 2 (before they were released) and lots og gts, Dbs, even a chopper at one point
