1. foot on ground
2. foot in rear tire

or my personal favorite,

3. high speed foot jam

he wasnt being sarcastic, unless you want to try wearing out other less replaceable parts of your body the only way would be cutting extremely hard or (in park) hitting quarters front heavy and knowing how to not eat

it's a toss-up you either get brakes or burn holes in your shoes. but i guess you could try getting creative:

1) jump off and start running
2) find a hill to ride up
3) reach down and grab the tire with your hand
4) glue big chunks of rubber to the bottom of your shoes like the street luge guys do
5) always ride with a friend so he can toss a stick in your spokes

poor dog.....

i always put my feet on the ground flinstones style.

or really crappy feeble a curb to jam the back wheel

then again you could carry sticks with you and throw em in the spokes, front wheel works best for that

or you could attach brakes but only let the cable go to your top tube. then you can just reach down and pull em wile still being able to do endless barspins and tailwips wich to me is the only reason for brakeless.... i do admit breakless makes the bike LOOK simple and nice

the things I can think of are just leave feet on the ground. Do a light footjam (not lifting rear tire) and stomp feet repeidly on the ground.
