sounds like a good idea...
- way bigger boosts
- way better fakies

Just try it guys. But you do need an aluminium brake to weld it to your deck, cause you cant weld steel to aluminium. So You probably need to make your own sort of cover. Or maybe a bladebrake? i guess those are magnesium. tho.

welds would snap, brake would bend. you need to either make a frame to hold it up or make a stationary cove/hood thing for over the wheel. i'd post the pic of the one on the sr scooter, but idk if its "classified" or not

get a a brake. metal. i ride those. i broke my alu pro one.
 
some people ride brakeless but if you ride ski then that would probably be a bad idea, weld it if you want but just bare in mind that you're gonna have nothing to stop you but your feet when going down hills and that

no he hasnt, he made a whole fender and i have it now
its pretty much just impractical i never hit my brake when i ride fakie so the fender wasnt really need and some manual combos you really cant do without a fender so i just took it off
basically if you never want to do manuals again then go ahead and weld it but its alot easier just to learn how to not hit your brake

or you could put it close to the wheel and weld it.
