I wanna say to paul74, bombing down hills with one (or even two) brakes on a fix is a LOT more controlled than just relying on brake on rim to stop whilst freewheeling. wanting to feel in control down hills is the main reason why I flipped over to fixed-wheel 18 short months ago. Never looked back. Freewheels are just not as safe-feeling as fixed.
