well pumping your foot in any case is ghey...without abs and u pump your foot you're not effectively braking the car, its about threshhold braking, braking just to before lock up and if lock up occurs let off and so forth...then with abs pumpin the brakes doesnt allow the system to engage which leads to sub par braking situations

pumping your brakes with any system leads to longer stopping distances and an uncontrolled car
