spencer 0 #3 May 7, 2008 the reason I am asking this is because someone at the dz did a hop and pop and could not release the brakes no matter how hard he tried to pull down to release them. And I think I remember seeing some handles with a pin and to release them had to be lifted up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
