Whats with all the newbies all wanting to ride brakeless?

velocity boy [quote]Object17 [quote]SMEEAR i forced myself to keep a brake for at least a year, that and being able to easily skid stop/skip with either foot forward.
i said once i had mastered this i would bin the brake, i ended up ditching the brake a few months shy of a year cause i felt confident in my ability
Just done the maths. It was 9 months I rode with a brake.[/quote]

That's nothing. I've ridden with a brake for over a year now. And before that, I had TWO brakes. You can count 'em if you like.[/quote]

That nothing Hippy has 3 on his Soma (kind of).
