Skidding just locks my wheel and takes about 4 seconds to reduce my speed, which doesn't include stopping. I think that if I rode brakeless I wouldn't be able to enjoy riding as much, because I'd be thinking about stopping. That is stupid. Riding is cooler than skidding.
That's probably because you don't know what you're doing... neither did he (no offense CHEN).

Having a brake is different, and not in a bad way.
