No brakes for the win
+CF3BMX Haii!!!!!
Yes
Brakless for live
breakless is better
My rear brake just broke today so I took it off. Should I take off my front brake too?
i was a mistake. my parents cut my brake lines.
This guy is unhinged and def has human heads in his freezer
I ride brakes to save my shoes from getting demolished.
me to
So do I. ive gone through insoles b4 now brakes r cheaper than shoes anyhows
brakes are a hassle they constantly need adjusted and if haul balls at everything then you wear out pads really fast and if they get just a little wet the they dont work at all and brake tend to give a way out if someone gets scared and try to puss out on something no brakes mean if you get scared you gotta say fuck it and try it anyway no easy way out.
i run brakes... i dont even know y and most of the time i dont even use them. i dont remember the last time i backed out of something. but i do like having them.
i had a break lever pierce my leg that was the last day i ever had brakes i never used them anyway so it was no lose to me
Well, in the real world on a bicycle that is designed to go more than 1/4 mile a day, brakes are not a hassle. Both the disc brakes on my mountain bike, and the dual pivot callipers on my road bike have been set up perfectly during installation, and have needed very little maintenance since. The issue here is that you fix your bike like a douchebag, ride your bike like a douchebag, and are generally just a complete and utter douchebag.
Don't let your brake levers get in bad shape, only an abused or broken lever is going to cause injury like that, they round the ends for a reason.
I agree
why you doin barspins w/ brakes in the first place
im going to be honest here. wearing a helmet does not mean you are " gay, fake, scared, chicken shit " or what ever other terms you guys use. im 17 and live in las vegas nevada. out here, we dont care what you ride, how good you are or anything in between. helmets arent seen as a sign of weakness, and yes you should wear one but its totally up to the rider. there are parks out here that wont let you in without one too. as you get older and the bike gets built up more, you start to adventure into tricks and you start to learn, you start spinning, twisting, grabbing, flipping, and everything else. its dangerous, so why not just take the extra caution and be safe? i wear a pro-tect helmet ( with ear cover things ) and i love it. its comfortable and you cant tell its there, but when you slip a hand or miss judge your landing, youll be glad that a helmet is there. and same thing with brakes, when i do front flips and tailwhips, i like to stop my wheel because not only does it give you more momentum but it keeps your pedals in place as long as you dont kick them backwards. stop bagging on kids for how they like to ride and just go have fun, dont worry about anyone but yourself
Your wisdom is far beyond your years.. Like your attitude. What are you doing after high school??
planning on doing business and marketing with hopes of opening an auto garage, or even go the complete opposite way and have an indoor skatepark with an attached bike shop.one of those two are the dream BikeMan, sorry for such a late reply
Stay in touch. Gonna put you on the Board of Directors circle alot of cool people there I think you are the youngest, welcome and congrats
thanks bike man! love your videos too, i was blown away when i had come across your channel because everything i was looking for had been covered.
Gyro lets you spin bars and whips freely without cables getting tangled. Oldest invention and still best.
But gyros are pretty heavy
Cloakedinblood
Lol. Try riding bikes that pros used to ride, like Haro Mirra S351 Pro which weighted a good 20 kg. After you've ridden that, then come back at me and start complaining how a gyro weights 200g..
Cloakedinblood
Are you serious? As if you're gonna notice the weight of a gyro or even brakes for that matter and it's gonna affect your riding that much! Unbelievable.
Get a carbon fiber frame for a grand if you worried about weight...
Thats what i have
Even when I rode with brakes, I never used them.
Tyler Films no need to use brakes when you ride at 1 km/h I guess...
Cause youre a trickster...you ride brakeless in city traffic and youll get fucking killed
Maykel Mendoza John hicks. Period.
Battle Born Bimmers if I ride breaks does that mean I can’t barspin or any other trick involved with bars
Mike Mendoza I found my way back to this video 5 years later some how haha, grew up a little but still it’s gonna have to be brakeless for me. When you ride brakeless you just know how to stop your bike on a dime. I’ve saved my ass plenty with the shoe in the tire technique 😂
I like the feel of ridin brakeless, but I like knowing I have a brake there if I need it
i don't bmx anymore but when i did i ran brakeless. only because i traded bikes with a random guy and the new bike was brakeless so i got used to it. i just put my foot in the rear tire to slow down.
I ride with brakes. Definitely a lot safer when riding street and i love throwing out brake tricks at parks. If you're worried about the brakes tangling when doing whips or bars just get a gyro
But kids think a gyro weighs to much. all they care about is the weight of the bike
Kids worry about the weight of a gyro?
Eat one less McDonalds and call it evens.
+Mr 5 lol!!!
+Max Pontelandolfo average weight for a brake set up is just over 1.5 pounds and that was last time i checked like 5 years ago and shit son 22.5 pound bike with a gyro 5 pound frame when its raw but mine was still painted with orimo powerbites and no ti parts are light enough as is these days like damn
The bike looks " cleaner " without the breaks. If you want to be rid of them, Id advise leaving them on and practice stopping as if they were not there - but then you still have them just in case. When you eventually stop grasping automatically for the leaver, take them off.
Ride gyro...problem solved
I hate the look of trashed rims
+sal123ps3 buy chrome rims anodized rims are shit if you ride chrome rims and a soft set of pads they feel great feather awesome let you stop after hitting those sketchy spots so you dont slam into a wall or go out into the rode and get hit by traffic and youll never trash your rims
+bmxriderforlife1234 I run chrome tbh I've never been a brake guy from the beginning when I failed a gap and had to have the lever cut off my hand like add much as I'd love to fuf a street spot but they end up slowing me cause a get scared and pull them
+sal123ps3 true Idk man if you rock big bars do what I did and run your lever far enough in you gotta work on it still I could never not run brakes abubacas are fun as fuck and I find tail tapping random shit fun lol though looking at me ride you'd get a weird vibe bike looked like a park set up yet I couldn't ride anything with coping always fucked me up I ride to far forwards over the front of my bike always bumped nose first off the coping no matter how hard I leaned back until I flipped out though I think that might have had to do with being used to bigger bikes for jumps everyone's got something that they can't do so If rocking brakes isn't you by all means just I get mad when I hear kids be like yo brakes are for faggots and park pussies when in truth it's just a trend and will probably disappear I mean think about it guys gotta be running out of new shit to do on street eventually someone's gonna throw a brake on and do shit like chilioke okafo up rail to abubaca foot jam abubaca fakie down rail
+bmxriderforlife1234 yeah brakes are really really fun and they'll make a come back in street trust me
It is a matter of preference. I personally hate riding brakeless, as I like doing skids and tire taps and such, plus being a large man who was riding back in the days of 35lb street bikes, I have no excuse to whine about weight (I actually prefer a heavier bike because it feels stable instead of flimsy). One thing that annoys the crap out of me is how brakeless riders tend to talk shit about setups that aren't theirs. The freedom of expression in bmx is the reason I ride. Fuck being more "hardcore" than the other guy. Fuck following trends. Let someone ride how they want. Nobody said you had to ride another persons bike, so why do you seem to care? If someone prefers four pegs, two brakes, standing platform a gyro, and a seatpost that extends into orbit (like i do),how does it even affect anyone but the guy riding it? People need to get over themselves.
I like you.
like you too.. Thanks for the comment
+Blue Lightning this guy scares me
+blessedking206 this guy burns my eyes and bursts my ear drums
+BikemanforU yeah bro you're pretty cool...thanks for the video
mm boner
I have two bikes now I'm all growed up. one with brakes and one without, if imma go beatin around the neighborhood I take the beater with breaks, if imma go uptown too tear up ledges and rails or night life it on the street scene I take the brake-less bike it's quieter and "freeing" aside from a super loud cassette hub.. This dude has valid points too his video and I will share with my kids! 50/50
I have 2 BMX bikes. 1 has brakes and the other one is brakeless. I mostly cruise around on BmX now and don’t really do any tricks. I just roll around for fun and love the agility of the BMX bike (been riding for years). With that being said, I typically ride my bike with brakes. I’d say 1 out of every 100 rides or so, I will take out my brakeless bike, just to switch it up.
rear break only squadddd
Mr.BrandonTV front brake only..
i just bought my first bmx bike (my very first bike if u exclude the one i had when i was a 4 year old with training wheels on) and i bought the gyro , so yea brakes imho is safer , sure it looks a bit messy but its safe , and with gyro its like having no brakes !
OK brakes are really easy to take off but.... they are a bitch to put back on !!!!
+Thomas Ballantyne Easy to take off? I has to use a saw and saw the brakes off xD
+Xor Pichu why? all i did was take lever off, gyro and the stuff in the back then done, no sawing only unscrewing and cutting brake cable
Man, it bums me out when I see kids leave nasty ass comments trying to insult you for no reason Bikeman. I guess that's just the nature of kids on the internet. Just know I and others think your videos are rad as hell and your humor truly cheers me up when I'm having a shit day. Keep doing what you do and ignore the faceless ones!
this guy has cool hair.
I went thru this stage of breaks looking uncool. But I’m now I’m 15. Doing barspins tailwhipes no handers all of it. I personally LOVE them now. Abubacas fufanues. I love them. I broke my top cable of my gyro 2-3 weeks ago and I miss them to and unbelievable excitent I need breaks. I also thing the gyro looks better. All my opinion id say ride breaks
brakeless is a lot more fun :) sort of like manual vs automatic on a car :D
+Joe Joke maybe for you but for some spots brakes vs brakeless is more a matter of being alive cause you can stop vs being dead cause you cant also opens up more tricks and guess what you dont have to even use it for something if you find it more fun without it but its nice to have when you need it also makes a bunch of tricks possible unlike riding no brakes
+bmxriderforlife1234 if you ride brakeless for a while, you get used to it and ride differently. and their is plenty of ways you can sloedown/stop a brakeless bmx bike
Joe Joke you get used to it still doesnt make it safe necessarily brakes will always be safer and certain spots will always be safer with brakes would prevent alot of these guys from hitting something hot land and gotta shoot outa into the rode and end up hit by cars its happened to alot of riders and it sucks and in some situations like someone i know if he had brakes on he probably coulda stopped soon enough to make the accident alot less terrible though hes fine now thank god he had a helmet on
+bmxriderforlife1234 dude shut up nobody cares. They can ride how they want
Joe Joke no go away not interested
Brakeless and have been riding brakeless for almost 10yrs.. started riding brakeless when I switched to a smaller drivetrain and the brake arms didn't fit under the chain and didn't have inverted brake mounts. honestly don't know if I'll ever ride brakes again since I cut back costs of new brake cables n pads that inevitably need replaced.
He's scary
THANKS love you too. XOXO... Don't forget to subscribe
He may be but he's a boss like Rick Ross when it comes to bikes, so why make fun of him when he's teaching you something
You sound like a little bitch
God that impression of a kid throwing a tantrum was so funny 😂
Get a gyro ? simple
Aiden McGowan a lot of people also like to run brakeless because it looks better, is lighter and the brake levers don't get in the way, neither of which a gyro helps with
I ride with front and rear brakes and a gyro.
The way I ride I need brakes to do the tricks I do.
Also if you have decent brakes like odyssey ones they do work.
I’m 6’2” and 245lb on a 24” BMX and the odyssey evo 2 setup I use stops me on a dime.
My brakes always needed adjustments, fixes, didn't stop the bike, didn't work, kept squeaking, didn't want some slow @$$ gyro. I told my mom all of that. I run brakeless now. Just tell your parents how much of a piece of shite bmx brakes are and say footjamming is like 20x more effective. (FUK BRAKES) And for all of that trouble, brakes add unnecessary weight to your bike.
CookiesUnleashed wow, what bmx do YOU have, cause ive been running the same gyro and brake set up for almost 10 years and they work as good as when i bought them.
Jordan Broksevski
Colony premise. They came with tektro brakes. They stopped the bike just fine but constantly needed adjustments.
CookiesUnleashed Not for me :)
Jordan Broksevski
Well u are just a brake lover then. I was too until I was like, FUK IT!
True
I would say get the new odyssey springfield brake lever and u-brake. They are at a valued cheap price with a u-brake that has a built in spring so that the brake is self ajusting so that you do not have set the brake up as this can be very time consuming with finding the correct spring tension etc. Also the brake lever is a very simple every day brake lever with a monolever design so there is no need to take of your grip. This will help with people who swich from brakes to brakeless.
Why not use a detangler to be able to do barspins? May all of you guys thinks "Why a detangler if I can be brakeless?" For me it's easy. I use mi BMX bike to do some tricks and for commute to my work.
So, that's the deal. I prefer use a detangler to have one or both brakes - front and back- to use as be convenient.
And remember, BMX pro riders like Mike Escamilla or Corey Bohan use detanglers.
PS. Thanks for the videos @bikemanforu, keep it real.
Greetings from Mexico
Riding brakes or no brakes is a preference in my opinion. but yeah Bikeman you got a point with the transportation and skatepark riding
When i rode bmx i would ride brakless for a few months get bored of it and ride brakes for a few months and switch back an forth. I never rode park i can stop just as fast without than i can with you just have to learn how too. I think its good to have brakes for the first year or two and actually learn how to use them. I am so skilled with brakes i learned how to do sit down wheelies on a bmx with the seat only 2 inches up.
I dont run a break at the moment because cable snapped 2 year ago. Never got round to fixing it. But going to put both brakes back on for more fun
Most BMX forks are constructed without U brake tabs or a hole to fit a U brake plate if the forks do have a hole it is usually not a union shape that will take even a caliper brake.
you can get a transparent brake i found them on amazon and i love them and they dont leave really bad black streaks on your rim but no i dont ride brakes they get in the way of a bar spin and most other tricks
What I do is always leave my brake lever and my brakes on my bike, but I take the cable out when I don't need it. That way, I can just hook them up whenever I want, and it only takes about a minute or two. I'm also looking into buying a giro so that I wont have to worry about all that though. So Bikeman, do you think you could make a video on how to drill giro holes and install a giro?
just get gyros, still have brakes and theres no wires tangling and you can still do bars and tailwhips
What does he mean ''Cables getting all tangled up''. Gyro's work fine. I just got a completely new bike and opted for a back brake. I have an Odyssey gyro and detangler and the bars spin beautifully. I have a 99 Haro with a gyro and that also spins beautifully, like a Swiss watch :-) There is nothing wrong with a good gyro. Also, if you don't know how to stop using your bike, or slow it down without brakes I think the LAST place you want to practice is in the skatepark. That would be very dangerous. You learn how to stop by using your bike, and your feet while you still have brakes, and well away from busy places like skateparks. Every BMX rider should know the classic' how to stop, using the sole of your trainer against the tyre, behind the seat'. I used to do that on my 99 Haro, in 99, they left a convenient space.
Brakes are handy there a pain in the neck to adjust but gyros fix the problem with spinning the bars but I run both.
I'm ridin' my dads old Trek BMX bike from when he was my age.... I have both front and back brakes, with a GyrO2 (Gyro) brake system.... Back brakes I only use for transportation, while my front brakes I use for poppin' into endos.... I liked and subbed, I look forward to more helpful vids.... Keep up the great work, man.
I ride a single back break on my bike... mind you I ride street mtb aside from bmx because I dont feel comfortable on a bmx (too tall!) but it also save me money on shoes!
i was hoping you suggest a rotor on that bike so that you get both parts happy...
i would like to ride brakeless but my parents wont let me
i did ride one week brakeless without them knowing and it feels driffrent , you are feeling a little bit better because when you dont brake you are going faster and then you are going to learn like airing a quarterpipe, going higher on a wall , a jumpbox , and stuff like that
i run brakeless but i put my foot on the back wheel to stop it and it seems to stop faster the only problem is my shoes gets holes in the bottom of them and love your videos you have helped me fix my bike a lot and i thank you for that.
oh and i have a kink bike too lol
+Gage Rainbolt the reason you seem to stop faster that way is cause when you had brakes you just slammed it locked your supposed to let the wheel slow down slowly not lock the brake to skid
no brakes for me - for people just starting you should have a brake until you learn tricks like barspins and when you build up good bike control. i personal think its fine after you have good control /awareness. i have been riding brake less for over a year now and i can brake as fast as anyone with a standard brake. only down side is i do threw alot of shoes. also i wont touch my bike without at leased a helmet
I took my brakes off the first week of getting my very first bmx bike. Never went back, but there are just SOME instances where i wish i had a better way to stop my bike. Most people dont notice but if they do, theyll lecture you and everything on the dangers and whatnot. I tell them, look, its comfortable and brakes dont get in the way, plus no one around me rides brakes.
I'm a heavy 22 year old but i ride back brakes only but i adjust it to where it slows me down quick to stop all the way
I ride with brakes......I use gyro. Gyro allows you to spin bars as many times as you want without the cable wrapping around the bike....granted there are more steps to put a gyro on but it's worth it....I not only do tricks but also use as transportation......Sometimes a "foot brake" is just not enough....I almost got hit by a car without breaks and just using my foot as a break on the street....
I was brakeless then ran brakes than brakeless now I run brakes with a gyro. It helps if you can't stop my putting ur for in your tire but brakes can also help do tricks. U can never go wrong with a gyro
I only have a back break. I don't mind it I think it makes my bike look cooler and I am always using the bike for transportation.
You should do more videos like this. With a subject to talk about
we put that vid request on the list THANKS
i usually ride my bike to school so i have brakes even though my frame is ultimately a break-less frame. even if you can barspin and tailwhip you should commute with breaks. if you want to do headset rotational tricks and commute get gyro breaks.
good point thx for the comment
take a 5 mm alan key or else it will be a 10mm wrench or socket and losen the bols a turn or 2 turns on ur brake pads witch is the part of the brake that touches the rim and make sure its the back of the brake pad that touch the rim before the front of the pad when u brake , it sound complicated but reli isent , if u need help look up how to set brakes for a bicycle or bmx !
You can get bmx like a snob bmx were the breaks will still allow you to do bar spins because the breaks aren't connected in one peaice they are built through the main frame
You make a great point. I ride brakeless so I dont have to go through the hassle of the cords and fixing my brakes. Although if I were to get my hands on a Gyro brake system then I wouldnt care.
i run brakes with a sweet gyro set up so thiers no tangle and also run black sun envy rims so running black rims with clear pads work really good
I personally like to run a back brake with a gyro! (I have tried without) But I understand why people don't. You CAN barspin with a brake. But there are benefits with and without brakes...
I don't ride breaks I grew up like that no breaks and I never wreck on any of my bmx bikes but the new bike I have I keepped the breaks on because I need it for running around and yea I agree with your saying keep breaks on just the old bmx bike are the good ones to go no breaks
I would use brakes but my frame doesn't allow brake mounts. Been riding for 2 months and now I'm used to riding in the street with no prob even bombing downhill
No front brake, because if your spinning the wheel, they get tangles up in the front. I only need the back brake because it is built around the fork so it can spin and not get tangled up.
My dad won't listen to me when it comes to riding brakeless and my brakes don't stop me if I'm going 15 mph so I use my foot but I'm also a down hill longboarder , longboards don't have brakes but he just won't listen to me what should I do because he said he is gonna take it away if I take them off even though I paid for it
I work on kid's bikes in my town and they are all the time coming to me to fix their bikes after they removed their brakes (usually have slop in the headset from removing a gyro with it) and I ask them why they want brakeless and they say something like "it makes it lighter." By ounces maybe, but you're not a roadie weight weenie, a little extra weight isn't a big deal. If you ride it on the street, keep a brake. If you are a pro and need the extra "commitment" to do the jump, go brakeless.
I run a oldschool side pull brake, a single cable w/o cable guides, and a hinged lever so i can ride to the park w/o a problem of getting hit by a car because i can't stop, but at the park i can take that crap off with two screws
You should do a video on how to fix your bmx breakes
I never use the brakes when I have them never had a bike that was happy with the brakes on. Personally the way around the whole issue is with those gyro things. Little more expensive but it's safe and it's a win win
can you make a vid on how to properly take a break off a bmx??
Bike Man
The only guy who can interrupt himself the most times
i run a light brakes and the cord never gets caught up but i never use it
jay millett u might have a gyro so it doesnt get tangled up
if you dont wanna get your cables mixed up or, you wanna do bar spins, and you still wanna have brakes use a gyro
i have thing with my bmx the brake lines dint tangle but my bike has dirt tires so i use it you know for offroad trials and i works great but i do need a polymer frame cuz the bike is real heavy
Brakeless. I ride flatland and used to have front brake. However after the brake lever hit my knee joint while practicing, I took it off. It hurts so bad
I was riding an old school 5hp mini bike once that used a rear brake handle as the throttle. I was going into a corner to fast, out of habit I pulled the brake lever to slow down only it further launched me into the fence I was trying to avoid. I wish I had a brake that time.
i think that brakes are more for park/vert/dirt because you can use them for tricks and also keeping a good pace,but for street(which i ride) i personally ride brakeless.
I ride gyros because I like fufanus and bar spins
the most common reason i hear kids say they dont run brakes on a bmx is cause theyre heavy and stupid when in truth brakes arent very heavy as i had a 22.5 pound bmx bike with a gyro and no titanium anything with a 5 pound frame its just a trend it doesnt help with any tricks it makes them harder alot of the time and as for bar spins get a linear cable and unless your a pro your not doing double bars or so many bars or whips in a run that itll matter or get a gyro which actually makes keeping brakes running nicely alot easier and makes them feel better when set up properly
Those are giros but they break or get bent or freeze up if u crash and hit too hard and there not cheap to replace. Plus if u have good skate shoes u can put ur sole either on the back tire or the ground as improvised brakes. I run a harp 200.3 frame with stock forks and bars and it does have a giro but its bent up and the brakes either stick or decide to not work half the time and the other half they work great I don't think giros are worth it
whaaaaòoooooo didn't expect u reply so soon great thanks the bike is a shimano revoshift sl rs35 sis and the rear shift has a 1 to 6 gear but it get stock at 4th gear and can't get to 1st gear I need a video on how to fix that
I used to use no brakes but I could never get my foot up fast enough after doing a trick so now I run brakes and kinda have a certain love for them
Great video! This the first ive heard of bike man for you! Love ya man spot on imression of the kids telling parents...but mom no one rides with brakes anymore! And great on if its ur mode of transport.....brakes on! There are alot of people out there thatare distracted while driving and a bmxer thats ur only line of survival sometimes! Thumbs up man
He is right about barspining with brakes because they do get in the way and brakes do fuck up from the get go. The only thing I dislike about going non-brakes is that I I'm speeding down a hill, my shoes will be burnt my feet by the time I'm at the end of stopping. And brakes brake tons of faster than feet and your shoes don't have to touch a tire. But I prefer no brakes anyways like I said before that the brakes get in the when I barspin and also like he said they fuck up from the get go but yeah if your into the park more and you got a ride there go no brakes. OR you could just bring a tool box with you and take them off from there lol
How do you fix the pedaling
Just ordered all the parts for a gyro. Video with our new camera coming soon
single cable isn't going to get in the way of a single barspin or tailwhip and as long as it's a good linear cable isn't going to kink up. if you're throwing double bars, or bar to whips, then run a gyro. i ride no brakes b/c A. i always sucked at setting them up B. b/c i got screwed over by my brakes anyway. they'd give out on abubacas and put me flat on my back, and i snapped cables at the lever in situations where i needed to desperately stop C. pulling my back wheel off is way easier now too
personally id throw a gyro on it and call it a day I like riding brakes its saved me a lot in a lot of circumstances and I don't prefer brakeless only for the fact it makes trick easier to bail out of easier to do certain stuff and you don't have to worry about bailing off the bike when you are a little sketched out of a jump most pros ride gyros and it doesn't add much weight honestly kids don't be followers just because everyone is doing it ride comfortably and don't ever let people drag you down because you chose this instead of that if it works then why bother changing or complaining about it
If you have a gyro on a bmx you can spin the bars as much as you want and there's no tangled cables
Breakless because breaks stop get in the way of some tricks like barspin, although you can still do it but it gets in the way, otherwise just get a gyro
I run no brakes at the moment because my cable wasn't put on right and i snapped a really good brand brakes and now i cant use them
I've ridden no brakes for a while at least a year or two and I'm putting them back on cause I'm sick of wearing out shoes that's probably the biggest problem
My mum won't let me take my brakes off but if you get a gyro and you crash and break it, it's a waste of money so what do you recommend
I ran break less for a few months and got hit by a car thankfully it wasn't bad but the car was dinged and poped my front tier and killed my knee so from now on I run breaks as I use mine to get to school everyday and go to the park but mostly for school
I run brake less on my bmx just stick your foot between the rear wheel an frame works the same. but I have a second bike witch is a dirt jumper/single speed hard tail I use for commuting
QUESTION!!!! what can you tell us if we have black rims and brakes? i mean some people remove their brakes so the rim paint won`t get rubbed of but is there some special type of brake pads that can prevent that? i would like you to make a video about this topic please
we have to do a vid on a gyro.. THX for the idea
i prefer breakless if you dont wanna scratch of the paint from the rear rim and plus it makes it litter and it looks better
