comparing methods of stopping

I've been searching youtube for a comparison video and haven't had any luck. I'd like to see a side by side road test of someone with freewheel and front & rear brake, a fixie skidding, and a fixie backpedaling with a front brake. Have all three side by side going 15-20mph, then all hit their respective "brakes" at the same time.

I would guess that the skid stop would take the longest, but the other two would be about the same. Anyone know of such a comparison or willing to do the test?
