Anybody know? Otherwise, seems pretty cool.
edit: Plus, it wouldn't stop you as quick as a front brake...so I think. Again, correct me if I'm wrong.
It'd also put an incredible amount of stress on your bottom bracket spindle and you'd see a ton of flex but I doubt this setup was ever meant to be practical.

I don't disagree with that. The media portrays everything within a fairly narrow scope but it's unfair to assume everyone buys into the same homogenized world view because of that.
