Learning Curve

Alright, I just got my ** ***** and it had a flip flop hub.

I got it converted with cheap parts, SOMA. So now I have fixed. Riding it around, I almost died a million times.

I flipped over my bars in the parking lot of my dorm.
I flipped over my bars over the speed bumps near the soccer field. Twice.
I hit a stopped car.
I fell numerous times trying to get on.
I smashed my knee trying to coast. 1000 times.
I sacked my self learning how to skid. Enough times to not have children.
I smashed the back of my legs because my feet came off the pedals.

I can say that I think I'm getting better. But the learning curve seems to be very very long, and I just wanted to know if anyone had the same problems starting to ride fixed, and if there are any tips to follow when starting to ride fixed.

Thanks.
