Braking on a fixie

Hello guys,

I've recently acquired a fixed gear and while i can almost do a trackstand i simply can't brake enough with my rear wheel to lock up and skid. I am interested in this because with my front brake and the rear wheel brake in its current condition, i wouldn't be able to squeeze the most stopping power out of my bike.

Does it have to be a certain gear combination? I ride an 03' Fuji track bike with the front cog changed in to a 43 i think..

Thank you
