I've been riding fixed for about a year now and still not managed a skid. Shameful. I just like the simplicity of it all though.
Re: brakeless above - I'm sure more experienced riders than me may suggest otherwise, but I thought it was just a bit of safety redundancy - if your chain snaps, you're fucked, so it's good to have a brake just in case.
