This reminds me of the first time I tried fixed (outside of the track). I live on a hill. I rode down it, stopped at the bottom, flipped my wheel back to SS, and didn't ride fixed again for about a year, lol.
Legs to slow down helps if your legs aren't dead-liftedly dead, or similar. But it still puts me off doing proper fixed-road rides - city rides and group laps aren't so bad.
On the 2 brakes point - I prefer it to as I worry if the front fails on a descent. Using legs to slow down isn't going to work.
