all of a sudden, i'm throwing my chain

in five years of riding fixed, i've never really thrown my chain while riding (unless just screwing around while wrenching and something was way off).

in the last week, i've throw it three times. the first two times, i coasted to a stop with no problems, but tonight, it locked up my wheel and i almost went over.

i keep my bike in good shape have been riding it in its current configuration for three months with no problems. my chainline is pretty straight, so what could be going on here?

i ride my chain somewhat loose, but nowhere near too loose. maybe my chain is shot? i'll examine it closely tomorrow.

did you overcome a chain throwing problem?
