Pro tip: stop using the parking brake on your ATV after every ride

I was at a ride in southern Ohio last month and watched a guy spend 2 hours trying to free up his rear brakes because they were seized from rust. He told me he always set the parking brake after parking his quad in his damp shed. I never use mine unless I'm parked on a steep hill, and my 2015 model still has original brake pads. Anyone else seen this happen or just me?

Gotta say, leaving the parking brake on in a damp shed is asking for trouble, but not using it at all on flat ground is fine unless your quad's got a weak transmission that could roll.
