I definately wouldn't think of using the brake as cheating. it's not nessecary, sure, but for years I scrubbed the brake when looping out to bring the front end down. the only issue is that with a u brake on a bmx it's far easier to modulate the pressure and with discs I think grabbing the brake would bring the front end down too fast
