I disagree. Someone who uses both will be the most proficient. That person will learn to carry much greater speed into a corner and be able to use that brake at that greater speed, this will drastically increase the difficulty of properly applying that rear brake.

A rear braker is an easy mark on a race track. You can do two things to them. You can simply just outbrake them because they have to start their braking way before you or you can force them to carry more speed than they can lose if they try to brake with you and watch them run wide as you slip by...

A person that knows both front and rear braking will be more likely to be highly adept to backing it in as well.

Who in the ever fuck uses only the rear brake on the track? Or am I reading this wrong?

noobs and a certain mod use to do it to, but I think they went to front brake use finally.

I agree that using both brakes is the best, most of your braking power is in the front wheel, O amended my statement to be more clear.
