braking on big mountains...

that depends, in a semi, fixed wing aircraft or helicopter?

 

Or a set of planks.

 

Skateboard?

 

Roller blades?

 

This should give you a rough idea on how it's done:

You need to be more specific when you post.
Otherwise A Smart Acre like me might say:
"I like going up and down in a Star Ship"
Instead of taking you seriously.

 

On the road.

Now if ya really want to go off road... well, be warned. The wild wolf packs are really hungry this time of year, and the bears are chowin' down to get their weight up.

 

hmmm, this sounds like an earlier thread with a similar smart ### comment from Injun

 

both of these would be on hell of a ride

 

Careful now... ya don't want to get the tribe riled!

 

I also drive for STEVENS.I have used and taught both methods of braking down major grades.The best is the constant pressure.Never so much as a hot brake.Where as the snub method tends to heat the brakes due to the element of air to the linings being added.I.E. oxygen to heat creates mor e heat.Simple physics.But to each his own.Both methods work.Whatever floats your boat.
