Default Braking issue

This issue RARELY ever happens. What happens is, if im trying to break too hard i suppose, the chain starts to skip, i dont know how else to explain this. It just sounds really bad, and the chain basically skips until i stop, and then everything is fine again. Could this if i used too much rear break? or do u think my chain is too loose?

your chain won't skip unless it's too loose. check the tension.
if it's a chattering from the front like the chain is loose, it's somewhat normal. you just need to do your suspension.

so i really don't think it's your chain mang...

You should have about an inch of play in it...

You should have an inch of play in the middle of the chain.

In addition, you should also check the teeth on your sprockets to make sure they aren't worn. This can happen over a long period of having a loose chain.
