GA2G - i know your first reaction is going to be you cant spin but i would advise shifting to an easier gearing when learning to ride fixed, possibly low 60s.
will mean easier acceleration and much easier braking although it will result in a reduced top speed - know its kind of obvious but it will help!
plus getting in clips and strap is bloody impossible in my opinion on fixed, although im sure everyone who uses them will say its a matter of practice.
