Very sloppy technique, and downright dangerous! Any brake left on in flight can prevent spin recovery by limiting the available rudder travel - especially in a fully developed flattish Chippy spin where recovery isn't instant anyway!
SSD-We were specifically discussing crosswind techniques, where the pilots notes are clear in selecting brake differential for x winds.
