Whoa, stop right there (no pun intended)!

You DO NOT want to pump the brakes on an ABS-equipped car. The ABS does the "pumping" for you. And about your technique of locking up the brakes...that is also a no-no. When you lock up the brakes, you are sliding. And if you are sliding you do not have control. Try locking up the brakes and then turning (actually, don't try it). You won't be able to turn. That's why ABS was invented. I would suggest finding an empty parking lot and doing some full stomps on the brake pedal to get used to the ABS activating.
