Theres not really any secrets though. If you bomb a hill with the brake on the brake and the glue will get super hot and the grip will come off. Brakes get REALLY hot where they burn the shit out of your skin if you touch them.

now with the ninja brake but other brakes no cuz if i were to whip into maunal it would be harder to adjust with griptape on the brake. that goes only for stock brakes though

i dont see the point of gripping your brake unless you are a tap, manual whore but i tried it once and the grip just like slid a round on my brake never stayed in the middle and it didnt really achieve anything

it would only be good for brakes that your foot can slip off like razor brakes but it would be pointless to have it on a blade brake coz its got heaps of grip on it

haha yeh but me + metalcores = no brake getting hot[what im saying, im not using brake never for slowing down speed, those muthafukas cost me like really much money and im not even riding street [well some, but when i had YAKs , i used to go school everyday with scooter.. now im not]
and btw when you grip your brake, dont just cut little grip, you need to make little sacks to grip also so there wouldnt be no air bubbles or how you call it..that way it wont slip off when you land to brake..


its kinda tradition for me to grip my brake, i feel pretty uncomfortable to ride scooter what doesnt have grip on it[brake].
it also used to help me to do my flatland shit really much, such as spinning and so on -_-

i used to on the bottom and top, but it wears off quick on the bottom. now i just run it on the top, i can't stand riding without a gripped brake (unless its a madd)
