ooh look! another break topic! i remember the fashion for no breaks in BMX. we laughed at everyones justification for that one too.
the problem is that people will argue so vehemently about the pluses of riding without breaks because they are trying to justify their fashion choice in a way that makes it look like a technical choice. now you may have rode x years without incident etc.. but the kid reading your posts that believes what you said and takes his breaks of and ends up under a bus is dead/maimed because of fashion. a shame, no?
you really need a break on each wheel, thats just how it is. any other choice is just fashion.
