I don't even really want to attempt them because I think it's kind of stupid to have brakes for only a few tricks. I like the idea of going brakless because I've tried it before and really liked it. So much less maintenance too which helps because I'm lazy.

When I was almost strictly street I was brakeless, then I did some trails and tore my ACL and ATL, then it was brakes for me.

Primos weren't used on Hoffmans much. Hoffman had cranksmade BY Primo for the PL completes.

The cranks that come on the flow series bikes are good. The are pritty much the same as profiles. I havent had any trouble with mine, and they are fairly light.
