What happens if the pad lands on a pebble?

I have always thought that they are kinda dumb cuz if you can't slide or footbreak at high speeds you shouldn't go fast. But now I think it might be useful to make follow filming easier.

I'm not too concerned with the COOL factor. To me though it just adds more to what I got into for its simplicity. I liked the barebones nature of the whole board with four wheels that you lean to turn. All I do is stand push and put my feet down. I like that. The more stuff gets added the more it kinda hurts the freeform feeling, and that's why things like this and big sticks just don't jive with me.

mongoloids push mongo. Nobody has a problem with regular foot-braking.

wait, what? I'm not trolling I just want to know what you mean. Do you think that there are mongo riders who don't race specifically because they can't footbrake regular?

The reason I said that nobody has a problem footbraking is because plenty of guys push off the line mongo but brake regular the rest of the time. I'm one of them.
