Re: handbrakes and spreaders
my first trick at XDL qualifier, comin right out of the blocks was....
One handed HC... just thought it would be cool to bring back some OLD SCHOOL NO-HB trick for the crowd, but more for the riders that were there...
Throttle control is something that a lot of us "OG" riders have that is lost amongst many new riders

Or you could look at it this way
you dont use your hand brake untill you NEED it, instead of wrecking, and possibly getting hurt/breaking your back/dieing.
but to each there own
me personally, I dont have a hand brake yet... But im definetly gonna get one soon, hopfully have one before I NEED one.
