Braided lines?

Somebody school me........ Just wondering how important braided lines really are for rolling long stoppies
Have heard horror stories of the stock lines flexing and eventually hosing up while in a stoppie but dont know if this is 100% true.

I've never had braided lines, but then again I ride a piece of crap, and my endo's haven't been over 50ft.......I'd say they're a good thing if you plan on stretching them out, and they'll last longer.

stock lines are fine for stoppies. To roll long ones you don't use the brake much anyway. Most guys that roll serious endos like to stay as stock as possible. lata

with braided lines you don't have as much feel, they grab way to tight
