Put a strap on that other pedal, you’ll feel so much safer man. World of a difference when they’re both on.
I dont even have a fixed gear right now but just practice skidding. Practice on flat or slight downhill and practice making the longest skid you can possibly make. Put weight on the front and swing the back around and play around.
Shove your shoe between the tire and the seat stays like a rear brake but it’s your shoe. Can help you to slow more gradually or you can jam it in there to skid out the rear tire. Just be careful overusing it because it will ruin your show tread quickly.
