^ it's knee-jerk conditioning thing from early age to use the rear brake, they're afraid that hard braking to the front will lift the rear wheel and they'll lose traction, and fall face first. When I first added a front brake to my fixed gear track bike, it took some getting used to. (I never ride sans brake after dropping a chain on a FAST descent)
