I ride fixed off-road quite a bit, everything from buff singletrack to rock gardens and log piles. Bunny hopping is a little tricky, jumping is a blast (keep pedaling in the air) and big logs are a crap shoot. You'll clip your cranks in the rock gardens a lot more but it usually isn't a problem. It really helps you sharpen your skills. Go for it and have fun.
