Usually you have to pulse V/U brakes but with my disc all I really had to do is find the balance point and hold the brake down and it would do alot of it for me.

I would recommend disc brakes to anyone.

That's the reason I'm trying to find out if there is a way to put my front disc on the back, because everyone knows I'm not too big into endos... Especially after it bent my brand new back rim.

What I'm saying is, he's used to BMX bike brakes, prolly 990's too.

V-brakes would be good enough for him. and he's not gonna find a bike with front AND rear disc brakes for 400.

MAYBE if he gets an ebay specail

If you get a BMX bike and a mountain bike you'll never ride your BMX bike unless you surf...

Re: Crank broke

You're going to run into problems with the disc if you do endos on it too much.

Brakes don't work. The handle bars are off because I'm painting them black so I can't get any surfing footage for this video we're doing https://www.stuntlife.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=128915
