How would you back-pedal on a fixed-gear without first skidding? Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the "loss of traction" with a "longer stopping distance" by means of "back pedaling" equate to a type of skidding anyhow?
How about a video? If this is a new way to stop I'm sure the forums, including myself, would very much enjoy seeing some new techniques on the fixed.
