This implies you can utilize the back wheel to skid if you push back on the pedals. Some fixie riders utilize this to help them slow down when riding downhill. Actually, a regulated application of the front brake combined with steady pedaling should be enough to bring you down that hill safely. However, some people find it fun to slide a little bit more. If you want to learn how to ride a fixie downhill then start by practicing on flat ground first. Once you are comfortable riding around on flat surfaces then try it out on a sloped surface. Finally, add in some jumps or other obstacles like curbs while you're riding along to make it more interesting and have fun! The most important thing to remember when riding a fixie downhill is to keep your weight off of the rear wheel as much as possible. This will help you control what happens next when you hit an obstacle. If you put all of your weight behind the front wheel when hitting something then you will likely go over it instead of under it. Also, don't forget to lean into turns, especially tight ones. This helps keep you balanced and avoid having too much weight on one side which might cause you to lose control. Finally, watch out for yourself and others. When riding down hills make sure that traffic comes before you so that you have time to stop if necessary.
