Should i go brakless on my bmx bike?

Question

Hi, i want to know if i should go brakless, here's what i do :

Usaly ride in skatepark, wich isent far from my place, but sometimes i go to this other skatepark wich is downhill all the way, and when i mean downhill i mean going to the downtown so lots of car's and stuff... but i can take small street's too

i dont do much bar spins and stuff, im more of a ''vert'' kinda guy, but i do footjam tailwhip tho. and feeble.

i currently have a gyro, no front branks. (i have eastern metalhead with some modifications (alienation 440rim, formula hubs, animal grip, eastern ultra light bar, maxxis m-tread front, animal asm back, KMC 710-sl chain) the rest is stock to eastern metalhead 08

i dont usaly brake often, tho i use it sometimes to gage speed at the park. i dont dirt.

im not a pro or anyting im about intermidiate.

i ride everyday. 4hours a day.

what do you tink?

Answer 1

I wouldn't go brake-less if you sometimes use the brakes.  Plus, you will need your teeth later in life, so always have some sort of brakes!  Going brake-less might be impressive, but when you smile and you are missing 7 teeth then you'll lose your respect faster than you got it.

Answer 2

Take em off and do the gene pool a favor. Or just get a life.
