When I was riding at first on the burners amacco etc then finally the rickman just as the acs rotor was launched nearly every trick I knew involved using the brakes ,paid a visit to a skatepark with my little boy and all the young fellas were running about with no brakes etc completely messed my head watching them doing tailwhips boomerangs with no brakes must be a different species nowadays or I'm just old lol

It's a different ball game mate... some of these kids nowadays are unreal.  :shocked:
Check out the videos section... there's some great stuff in there.  :daumenhoch:

They're all jacked up on energy drinks.

 :LolLolLolLol: Yeah John, even us oldies who ride newschool have brakes and you can hear us tapping them just as we approach a big quarter :2funny:

The bikes are way more stable now and don't rattle loose like the old school, especially the 1-1/8" headsets and stems which in my view is the best development in bmx tech as quill stems and threaded stuff was a constant nightmare.

You're right though, brake-less is a step too far  :shocked:

made me chuckle this. As I kid I used to sneak fags and booze in the house, my teenagers smuggle energy drinks in, in all honesty I'd prefer them to drinking booze than that sugary shit
