The stock blaster brakes suck big time. I had the same problem. Some of it has to do with the design. The release inside isn't very good and usually sticks. But for the most part, the problem is the parking brake. The cable that runs to your back brake also goes to the handle bars for the parking brake. It's this long cable that is most of the problem. Motion Pro makes a cable called the "shorty" blaster cable that eliminates the parking brake and makes it so you only have a cable that goes from the pedel to the caliper. It dosn't totally solve the problem, but it does help.

If you have the cash then you can always get a hydro brake set-up..They work really well.
