Thermo: Yes, there are some tricks that brakes make easier to accomplish, but there are ways around that. For example, you can still do fufanus, you just have to use pedal pressure. I still don't say you need a new bike, but if that's what you want to do, go for it. You'll enjoy either bike.
For now (since I don't have the required cash) I'll stick to my Hoffman. But if I can come up with some money I'll look into getting a new bike and then throwing all kinds of upgrades into it.
And here is the list of tricks that I have been able to do somewhat successfully with my Hoffman (please don't laugh, I've only been riding BMX for about half a year
):
-footjam endo (my brakes don't work well enough to ones without my foot)
-track stand
-180 (sorta)
-bunny hop (maybe 6-8 inches, lol)
-tailwhip (I hardly ever get these right; sometimes I'll go an entire day without doing one successfully, but I have some on video of me actually doing it right)
-cyclone (I kinda cheat on this one though cause I use the brake a little near the end)
-bar hop (still haven't been able to ride out of this one yet though)
-riding backwards (this one I can do consistently)
And I think that is mostly it
Not so great, but I hope to improve.
