People always ask me why do you ride brakeless? So I asked Nigel and Rytell to answer that question for you. I also went brakeless recently so I added my two cents as well. Hope you enjoy… Gator Name: Nigel Flyvester Years riding: 7 of them things Years riding brakeless: since I started because all of my friends were doing it, so thanks to them. Why you ride brakeless? I ride brakeless for many reasons, I love how clean and simple my bike looks. But I’m not going to front…..I did try riding breaks a few times but it never worked out. I would always pop them in a few days after putting them on from doing skids all day. I love doing them. I could also remember one night I put on breaks just because I was bored out my mind and did one abubaca on the curb and took them right off …like no way. I enjoy riding brakeless especially in NYC, one of my favorite things to do when I get into the city, is ride as fast as I can in the street dipping through traffic……it’s just a dope adrenalin rush. I truly believe riding brakless steps your bike control up. Last but not least it just feels wonderful. FEEL MEEEEEEE. Name: Dave Rytell Years riding: 9 years on my bike Years riding brakeless: I have always been off and on with brakes but now it’s been about 4 months straight brakeless. Why you ride brakeless? Well I started riding a lot of street with a lot of street riders and just cruisin’ down the road watching the brakeless riders was soo cool they had soo much control on what they were doing.. and it just looked like so much fun and new that I could try with bmx. So now I am riding brakeless and I have learned so much more. You really have to know your bike to be a good brakeless rider. Everything is so much harder but much funner. I feel really challanged everytime I go and ride my bike like when I first started riding and to me that is the best feeling in the world learning something new with something that you love so much. Name: Gator Years Riding: 12 years Years riding brakeless: 2 months currently but I have played with it before in the past. Why you ride brakeless? I first took my brakes off because of the noise that my brakes were making. As I started riding brakeless I liked the control it made me have. You feel one with your bike, and I also like how clean my bike looks. I have no plans of putting my brakes back on. The only time I might put them back on is to ride trails. Don’t do it cause you are liable to never get them back on. Just kidding! Remember, these guys are professionals. Be careful out there.
