If you want to experience real stopping capability, try a tadpole (2

Subjectively the stopping power of the trike will seem less effective
than it really is, since the rider braces against deceleration with the
(much stronger) legs rather than the (much weaker) arms. It is also less
exciting, since locking up a wheel is not usually a problem as far as
balance or directional control is concerned.

You could make it quite exciting by locking your brakes and launching
yourself forwards into an upright position to continue on foot.
