Mine, I believe, didn't have a hand break....so we had to stomp on the pedal in reverse while leaning left, and moving your ass quickly to the right, in order to get a spin out...so the brake must have come later.....unless mine broke, and I can't remember. Or they came in both models. we lived on a hill, so brakes were fairly important.
Like the time we talked our youngest brother into trying to ride the wagon down the hill. LOL!
Ethan....meet telephone pole. LOL!
