Ali C Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 If you do start it. I hope you've valued your face. Are there places to get that done? Like you can go in and get an antique vase valued if you want. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeCottTrials Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 I personally wouldn't advise anyone to try it without having ridden a number of years before hand. Lets face it trials can be tough enough with brakes. BUT having said that it looks like a good laugh for those that try. Semi tempted to give it a whirl myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Scarlet Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 I found that riding brakeless really improved my balance and removed the need for unnecessary correction hops once I had put my brakes back on. Really enjoyed the two videos that have been posted up, brakeless riding has such a unique style. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurtis G Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 I personally didn't get along with being brakeless, but it did improve my spins and sh*t At the end of the day as long as you're having fun on the bike thats all that matters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clerictgm Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 (edited) You can ride brakeless trials on everything, on 26, 24, mod is a good choice I think, because it's handy. You can ride brakeless trials even on street-trials bike. The inspiration for going brakeless, I get from Flipp's and Carl Hopps videos. Also very like Ali C on 26 inspired and Mark W and Stan (summer 2010 vid). First time without brakes were feeleing really unusual and interesting, but after 2 rides ( I tried to do rear wheel hops straight on flat, without trying on slope first, and it was REALLY FRUSTRATING and I thought brakeless is not for me) without brakes I set my brakes back and feels happy.. only for 15 minutes, and be bored untill end of that ride, next ride I took my brakes off again, and now I don't need them anymore. Someone said that you first must get good with brakes and then ride brakeless - no, you shouldn't. When I went brakeless I was able to do only pedal kick and pedal-up. Well, if you like it - do it, but just remember - it's not easy. Edited July 3, 2012 by clerictgm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
