Yeah thats actually the best idea yet. Didnt think of that. I wasn't gonna go brakeless straight from the beginning. I was actually going to buy non machined rims and just get a cheap front wheel off of craigslist while I learned. Hehe I'm not quite that stupid to think I can skid without any practice. I was just seeing how many people actually tried it. I'll def end up just doing what you recommended and save myself 20 bucks... but going bionic is a close second =).
Pirate: Relax man, I was just joking around. No need to wish death upon me. Lets hug it out. *hi five*
