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.
I perplexed as well. If you're back pedaling to a stop aren't you are still moving forward until you stop? What about emergency stops when you're feet are spinning fast?
