In today's video / alfredomancuso Alfredo Mancuso brakes down the difference between riding BMX both with Brakes and the most popular way, brakeless. This concept was popularized by the New York street legend Edwin Delaraosa ( edwinism?h...) in the early 2000's and has been a staple in BMX ever since.

I'm 49, been riding brakes 45½ years, if it ain't broke, DON'T FIX IT!
And i still do ride, got a 2023 Darkwave, 2022 Kink Whip XL, & a full custom 2020 Sunday EX, no old school carpet queens in my house! 😆
I ride about 60psi, & the best brake combo is TSC Sano V2 brake, & Colony Bretheren Lever, with Odyssey clear pads, & a JagWire linear cable
That white bike is tooooo clean
Awesome shades! I went from back brake to front brake then to brakeless and loving all the different tricks both allow.
Love to hear people trying all the different setups
Great video bro!:)
Nice to see you again Alfredo! You were always a cool dude since years 💪🏽
Great video 💚
Great vid! w/ the s/o to Edwin! Legend for sure.
Yess the goat for sure!
And thank you!
Yeah awesome Alf 🤘 i have always run at least rear brakes. Keep on rocking BMX brother
appreciate you Adam!
Yes Alfred my dude 🙌🏼👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼🚲⚡🌞🌟great to see you back mate 👌🏼hope you and yours are doing well my friend 🍻😁😎
Thanks Keith, right back to you and yours!
Nice! Hey what kinda pegs do you use? Which do you recommend for someone who's 200lbs?
I started riding freestyle before the Potts bolt when we all still rode normal MX1000 front brakes and threaded Skyway pegs. Went brakeless in 2001.
damn, thats awesome!!
@@AlfredoMancuso Honestly got used to brakeless riding a fixed gear bike. Once you get used to looking ahead for lines you're fine.
Hey hey hey. Brakes in these streets forever. How the hell else am i supposed to be able to abubaca literally everything? Stairs trees a few ledges with that bump jump swag.
Lmao those are my feelz
I’m a late starter in BMX and brakeless but am def considering adding a brake, not sure on front or rear though!
Keep up the good work 👊🇬🇧
Front has its benefits for fun but ao does rear. Sometimes when in doubt add both till you decide.
Thanks man! Means a lot!
@@bmxriderforlife1234 yes good shout, I’ll also make sure I put them on correctly I.e right lever for front and left for rear 😉
back brake is more practical, but front brake if you like nose picks haha
@@benreading3332 actually in bmx things function differently brake wise. In theory which ever hand you throw a barspin with you want the rear brake on the opposite side as that
nice builds .... what do you think of those vultus adj forks?
Those are sick as well!! They’re sick for options!
Troy Mcmurry started the brakeless trend cause diacompe ad990s were a pain
Hahaha yes for sure, but Edwin was a next level trendsetter
I always thought it was my old homie Darin Read who started it for the same reasons 😂. He always broke his brakes and sucked at making repairs to his bikes, so it was just easier for him to say the hell with them.
Good video. Like the info and tricks. Question: I’m 5’-11” and 200lbs and looking into a decent street bike. I’m looking at a top tube length of 21”. Is this decent for street?
Its decent for your height street or dirt doesnt matter.
Having Monophobia in the background has me way too distracted 😂
Hahaha if that song doesn’t get you hyped, nothing will. You’re right though, might cause people to leave the video to go hit a rave 😂
Im from the era where your Alex triple walls never failed to blow your tire out on the slightest tag 😂. Brakes for me w/gyro 💯
The difference is one destroys your shoes, the other doesn't.
Man I haven’t hit that park in years. Gonna have to go trick the tall quarter!
Lmk when you go next!! @alfredomancuso on IG 👊🏻👊🏻
Got the park frame set up for street and the street frame set up for park
Not full time haha
What happened to the parts giveaway on Instagram ??
I’m brand new to this I didn’t know you can spin bike/handle bars all the way around with brakes 😅😂
The only breaks I need is a KitKat bar 😂😢😅🙏👍🎶
Only us Brits will understand this joke ha ha. Remember the camera shy, roller skating panda bears?
👍
Still need some suggestions on how to give away the brake bike 😅🙏🏻
Can you do sent one of give away for your subscribers like me lol on here or Instagram?
Great seeing you back BTW. Keep posting as much as possible please!

MUCH LOVE FROM THE UK
hate your clickbait videos about leaving bmx gets me everytime 😂 ❤
I’m surprised the brake isn’t on the white bike and that the other bike isn’t brakeless.
Hahaha yea that’s exactly what I thought too
I used to ride mountain long ago front and back brakes. Now on BMX just rears cus of traffic.
Hey Alfredo are you not going to have phu in the videos anymore since you moved?
Other thing why i use breaks so i dont use my shoes as breaks
It’s still winter man. You think it’s hot now July will kick your ass. I myself love the tropical heat. South Florida is the best.
Brakeless on vert is crazy.
adam said i can drive over your bmx bicycle. im THAT cocky. :P
I MEMBER NOT HAVING BREAKS IN THE 90S' THE MIDDLE OF MY AIRWALKS LOOKED LIKE SOAPS PERFECT TIRE WIDTH, ENDED RIPPING MY SOCK APART MELTTED MY FOOT LOL
Hahaha that’s a good point
I ride 3 pegs because my heel hits on my back foot. I never used that one anyway.
I feel the same way, but then when I take it off I get fomo lol
I've always been breaks person
Same 🥹👊🏻
Troy McMurray I believe itz ...actually THA GONZ I'm told
True!
I've always had the opinion that brakeless is a more fun and raw experience. Never been about maintenance...
Cuídate! 🪖 😅
Mommmmm!
he used a street signature frame for a park setup and a park signature frame for a street setup wtf 😂
I did preface the video with that fact 😭
@@AlfredoMancuso commented before watching the full vid, my bad lol 🤣
Brakeless is for people too lazy to install or maintain a gyro.
Facts 💯
I just like the feel of the bars. I don’t like brake levers getting in the way. Respect to the brake riders tho y’all are sick.
Damn right ,and also don’t like levers in front of my knuckles
Damn right ✅️
Not even the gyro. Every time I get my brakes working right something else brakes on them. Headaches vs riding time
In my city your bike needs brakes so yeah no choice.
Why did people go brakeless? Troy McMurray.
Point of contention
Let me get that old bike
$1.99
Let me borrow the gyro
Got you
You rhymed 😂
@@x88868 wow he really did
Just hook up that little kid you see either with some clapped out shity bike or the kid that is at the park wishin to God he had a bike. If you do that Alf it will most likely make your week or even month home.
Brakes belong on a mountain bike end of discussion
Solely on mountain bikes? How about e-bikes 🫣
@@AlfredoMancuso nope those aren’t bikes
I’m being a brakeless dick anus if you can’t tell. I did go brakeless on a S1KRR for a few months one time tho. Wild on a liter bike for sure haha
It's about rotating mass...not wind lol
It’s a combination, brody
Break less rider are stupid and there's less of em because most of them are dead
