70% of braking is with front brake believe it or not, although not having one makes the whole bars setup a lot less confusing.

i ride like bit of park (even though it is shit) and fr i aint ever used a front brake even though got a set of mono minis i dont use the front there is no point i can keep up with ma m8's with them on like single track it is more fun u go faster coz u dont wanna lock ur back brake if you dont have one there is less to brake

for dj you don't really need one.

but for cross-country, downhill, freeride, and road you definately need them, it slows your bike down very fast and its easier on your tires as you won't be skidding as much.

BMX? It adds weight, and you don't do much with it. Though, that's preference, Adam Banton rides one, and he's pretty damned good.
