basically you just need to ride brakeless for a week then ride with brakes. If you find you liked brakeless better then there you go ride it and vice versa. but also
brakeless > brakes

yea same here. i rode brakeless forever and i loved it. then one day i found these mental jumps that are on a steep downhill and i couldent ride them without brakes. so i threw some brakes on and i kinda liked it. i could do some tricks that i would never be able to do with out brakes.

i ride brakeless again now. i don't know what to do. i like riding with and without brakes.

my brakes didnt work so i took them off. way more control and it feels alot easier to ride without brakes. but i left my lever on and i can put my brakes on in 5 mins i i want to go to the track. but i mainly use my bike for riding street and riding to school.
