| You actually use brakes to stop!? Nah, you need the back brake to balance. I have a front brake too coz I ride on the front wheel a lot.

| Did you buy a factory bike? Coz, although I've heard the frames are ok, they spec is just shite. You need better wheels for a start, probably Primo Stock hubs and Hula Hoop rims (just like me  ). Your tyres where probably too thin. Try some of the Maxxis tyres, I have nothing but praise for them. As for the handlebars, TIGHTEN THEM UP!!!!
The only time I would go without any brakes is on a vert ramp.

I wouldn't trust Halfords as far as I could it through them. They suck.
