I noticed it's a completely different set of muscles you utilize for crank-braking on a fixie.

I borrowed my friends GoPro and did a quick video of our little mountain in Phx..
I knew this would get some of my friends wanting to try out riding! :p
This video covers a 6.7mi 1215ft decent.
Couple of firsts..
Clipped pedal @ 4:14
Brake lock @ 9:32
My favorite corner of all is @ 12:12! :D

I rode your little mountain on a rented mountain bike awhile ago. Broke a chain right as I was starting the descent, then got a flat, then ran out of water on a 110+ degree day. Being used to the midwest, I really didn't prepare well... Looks like fun if you aren't riding a POS though haha.

I can't see riding on old tires or destroying an expensive set of NOS Panaracer's so modern tires are a must. And they're lighter. I'm thinking Schwalbe Racing Ralph EVO's...if I can find them in 1.9/2.0. Anything wider won't look right on this frame. I would however run a set of Tioga Psycho-K's on it.....had them on my 93 Trek 7000 bitd and had no complaints.
