I think HB's are great ... only thing I don't like about em is when newbies say they can't do a spreader or HC because they don't have a HB yet ...

i held out for a really long time, and im glad i did. One one hand, they really are alot of fun. You're gonna love handbrake coaster combos, and the endless new circle tricks.
On the other hand, you dont get the rush anymore. When you go street killing, you'l pretty much never crash again, until you get taken out by a soccer mom. It takes the Stunt out of stunting.

Im running a HB on my parking lot bike because it enables you to have more tricks in your bag. I dont need it to do faster stuff though. Im gonna start getting into more comps and it lets you do more stunts which equals a higher score.
On my street piece, I wouldnt run a HB. If you get high enough in the rpm's and have throttle control, there is no need for a HB.

i think handbrakes are great tool for any stunter but heres the thing a handbrake can make any rider good in a short time alot of us killed our selves without a handbrake but we can now kill with or without. i know alot of big name so called "pro stunters" that wont even consider riding a bike without on.
so if you got the basic down without a handbrake then i would put it on
if you cant do basics then keep it off for awhile
2 cents right there

+1, learn throttle control first, ( which it looks like you already have) im so glad that i did that, i dont cover the hand brake unless im off peg coasting or doing off peg circles, i could still tear it up with no hand brake guarenteed!
Anything you can add that will keep you safe is plus.
You dont have to use it all the time, but knowing its there to save you is a good thing.

I learned both HC and Spreaders w/o a handbrake, but I think the handbrake is the best invention allows you to do allot of shit. On the street I still really only use it for seat standers, spreaders and hc's I can hold for awhile

That is the best quote yet I agree 100% This is my opinion on this is you dont deserve a hanbrake unless you got circles then you need it to progress to diferent circles and combos!!! Remember thats just my opinion!!

no HB is sick!, but then again tricks like high chair coasters would be impossible without one so depends on what you use it for

Rock the HB... Yeah, No HB is cool if you want to do half the tricks everybody else is doing. If that's gansta then don't put it on... There are a few exceptions like Jesse_Redline and handful of others.... Exceptions being key word.....

if you are gona rock NO HANDBRAKE you might as well rock a ALL STOCK bike... while your @ it no crash cage either... now thats gangsta! riding w/out a handbrake when you have everything else done is just being stubborn, or dont wanna be concidered "gay" by the OLD SCHOOL GUYS :jerkit:
if your not gona keep it stock, might as well set it up to the FULLEST for stuntin, cause it adds tricks to your bag (which is what we all want!) DO IT! :woot
