Yea it's good for learning to have a shit bike, and I don't really mess about with my brake when I'm just out practicing as yes it's nice to make what ever move easily and not landing like a sack of shit an your brake just holding
But when it comes to a comp I grind my rim ready so my brake is as good as it can be.
But there is no need to be negative(said this already) if it's not for you then don't spend your whole day posting negative and stupid arguments on here. Just read and keep it to yourself
I havnt seen any one slagging off carbon bars just because they have alloy bars and can't justify spending out of expensive bars ? Same this here
