needing good brakes

[android11]

Hi guys, new to the forum and trials in general, saw road bike party and was just hooked then 'n there, went out to get some video's and view some basic techniques, only got as far a stopie-with-a-45degree-twist and the brakes were gone, no stopping power what so ever just a mushy squish, now i need 100 meters to stop. To be fair they were never there. If any of you have a good pair lying around that you are willing to hand me down that would be greatly appreciated, i am currently using -brakes but the bike has disc mounting points, have a pretty much none existing budget for everything the perks of being a zombie uni student. Below is the pic of the bike i am using, it was handed down to me in 2007 been commuting on it since 2011 only replaced the tires and the bottom bracket bearing retainer, it kept getting mangled(thunder thighs, i think) every fortnight decided to no longer buy bearings, (started using the left over balls,i had something like 54 balls, i put in 11 instead of the 8 when they have the retainer, its a bloody mission to put them in but it runs super smooth); gaaat won't upload via mobile but its a M650 raleigh

Hey, if you set V-brakes up correctly it will do the job. Try putting Coca cola on a cloth and wiping the rip with it, will make it nice and sticky and give you a bit of extra power
