dumbass idea. Brakeless on scooters is dumb as soup, and it looks stupid, as can be seen by those pictures. The main reason people ride brakeless on bmx is because it makes your bike look clean and you don't have to worry about unwinding your cables if you do a lot of barspins (but you can just get a detangler for that), and plus it's hella trendy. Brakeless on scooters is just people trying to follow a dumb bmx trend for the sake of following a dumb bmx trend only. There's no point otherwise because unlike on bikes, a brake on a scooter consists of a fender on a spring that you step on, not a bunch of cables and levers that would get in your way. Plus it makes manuals retarded and it looks retarded. Just learn how to ride with the brake, not that hard..
read liltonys post. i hate wearing down wheels. and you can manual breakless if you try, i can. and when you do manual the break wont slow you down, or wear down the wheel. as well as the other reasons in the ]
I already know all the arguments for riding brakeless, I started off doing manuals brakeless because I didn't know how to do them any other way, but then I learned how to use the brake for manuals and trust me it makes manuals so much easier and cleaner. With the brake you can control your speed in a manual if you have to - can't do that riding brakeless, and if you're wearing down your wheels THAT fast, then you should maybe not use the brake to stop yourself (because it's pretty much useless for doing that anyway), and not stomp on it when going into manuals
