Yeah lots.
But unfortunately you didn't provide any information on what your current brake set up is, so we can't even establish a starting point to improve on.

Go Lyle!
So, do you have a gyro or straight cable? Chrome rims? What kind of brake are you running? Is it set up properly? How much do you weigh? That will give us a start.
The short answer is to get some Koolstop salmon pads and adjust everything properly.

Not everyone wants to go brakeless. Of course, this guy doesn't want working brakes, or he would have posted again.
