It's not a snob factor, you have a high gear ratio and no brakes. This is massively irresponsible to those around you. I couldn't give a fuck if you loose all your teeth when you slam a bus at the bottom of a hill cos you can't stop in time but if you hit someone else then you're gonna look like such a cunt. I you ever slap into me on a ride you will get your legs broken.
For what it's worth, i have no problem with brakless in the hands of those that can control it. Your obvious naivity to the danger implies you know fuck all about riding brakeless.
