doesn't sound healthy. i ride fixed but with a front brake, in most cases i don't need the front brake except for in an emergency or 'too fast down hill' situation. that said, i was part of the early 2000's 'no brakes on your bmx' phase and that seems utterly ridiculous now, only way to stop was jam your foot in the back wheel haha.
