if you don't use too much force and do it at decent speeds it should be ok, if you're just doing donuts and sharp 180's in a parking lot there shouldn't be a problem, you'll wear down the pads a bit and if you slam it on you might streach the cable (speaking of which i have to adjust mine)

have fun

I only do them in the snow so there isn't as much friction on my car. Instead of working against the pavement I just glide across the top of the snow.
