In response to "Poll: Do you have rollerblades? If so, what types of brakes are on them? I do, and they do not have brakes so I need to t-stop/drag the back foot. -- nm" by Shaun

I actually don't find much need to brake, just keep control of my speed. I don't find braking to be very effective (i.e. you can't stop real fast anyway)/
