I have a friend who just started riding fixed. He is ****ing amazing on everything he touches, be it bmx, skateboarding, you name it. being as he is just starting out fixed, he found it a good idea to use 2 brakes. im all for what ever gets him riding fixed. will he be amazing at it in 6 months? yea for sure and im glad he is doing what he needs to to make it work for him...
