Read post #4, and I'm not over thinking it. Instead of the board, you are using your foot, to depress the brake, just like the stick depresses the brake pedal. Instead of jacking the car up and turning the wheels by hand to feel the braking power, you are looking at skid marks.

I'm not seeing the difference between using the board and using your foot. I'm not seeing the difference between looking at skid marks or feeling brake drag. You can call it some mystical powers by people who are magical and can adjust brakes blindfolded by smell, but it's the same. The pedal has to be depressed and braking force has to be measured. If you're alone and don't feel like getting into trouble on the road, you use the board.
