This is called "threshold braking" (though it's often incorrectly called "pumping the brakes") and was/is standard practice for vehicles without ABS.

- jabl 3y agoI learned that 'pumping' is what you do to counteract the brakes overheating when going down a mountain and engine braking isn't sufficient.
