They do it in Swindon.  The kids ride round the car park to warm up, which is a bit iffy with a freewheel and no brakes.

It looks like a fun & creative new way to get hurt ;D

But exciting to watch, I guess.

Doing this:

The local BMX kids seem to manage fine without brakes and freewheel; they jam their foot in between the rear tyre and the seat tube.  This makes quite an impressive skid if you want.
