brakeless beasts

Idk why but the title of this thread really annoys me...
Just because it doesn't have a break doesn't make it a beast...

Its just a scooter without a break...

Anyway, I dunno, I think not having a break is pretty dumb... UNLESS you have a break that doesn't go down, to cover the wheel...
OR, you can actually do good flat land on a scooter and like to not have a break so you can push the wheel back and forth with you foot.

But that doesn't happen.
So I'm with Pete.

wtf is that! Is it even a scooter you can ride in parks and stuff? Or is it offroad? Anyway truly rocks in my opinion. How old is it?

It's either a know-ped or a grow-ped which are made by goped(www.goped.com). I have one myself but they are extremely heavy compared to normal aluminum razor scooters. Also, I almost always bend the rear axle whenever I ride mine.

Edit: Also check out www.gopednation.com

brakeless = pointless

Explain.
yes
There is nothing to stop your back foot from touching the back wheel (and I doubt anyone can control the scooter well enough while having enough foot space to avoid it), which is bad when riding, but means death when landing.

not everyone rides in a stance that involes there feet touching the wheel when they ride. I rode brake-less for 2 weeks and i had to trouble riding. If anything it helped because i wouldn't worry about hitting my brake and looping out. If anything riding brake-less can help you with your "deck handling" skills and be more comfortable controling the deck when you put a brake back on.
My opinion no brake is fine and it wont kill you if you are able to ride a scooter at all.

Haha, nice Corey.

And Madis, I've never tried putting Rads on it, it might work though. These bars are good anyway, they're dowelled and such. And if I were to get new bars I'd just get a race pole.

there's a big difference between riding brake less on a bike and on a scooter....you ride brakeless on a bike to get rid of the annoying cables and not have to use a gyro, and since your foot isn't like...right above your wheel at all times

i wwant to try that whole brake stopper mod thing and do fakie manuals on ledges....that'd be ill.
