I personally bomb the **** out of hills and i have no brakes nor do i skid, i live in a congested area with lots of young terrible drivers and plenty of traffic signals

the difference is i know if i can fly down the whole hill when im at the top of it. I dont get to the intersection at 35 mph and say "****, i have to stop in 10 feet"

if i know im potentially going to have to stop soon i dont spin it up that fast

that being said dont get armadillos, cuz they dont like the sw8 skids
