like the no brakes idea! must good fun on a ramp, you'll go higher without them, might need some crash mats around the edges!

i sometimes find brakes anoying, its like a mental block you pull them before a quarter when you prob dont have too :P

Falling in to bowls used to be about the only trick I could do. Fell backwards in to the 4 leaf at Rom once and the bike came down and hit me on the head and knocked me out for a while (no helmet). Came to and realised my bike had gone, climbed out and was standing there rubbing my head wondering  :wtf: was going on when my mate came back riding his Redline and steering my bike along. Apparently some scumbag had jumped in the 4 leaf when he saw what happened and tried to have it away with my streetbeat! He hadn't reckoned on Mr Flannery and his Irish Fists of Fury though. Got himself a right good kicking  :knuppel2:
