I am here to tell you (by painful experience) that if you grab the front brake only and lock it up, you are going to find out what the ground directly in front of your tire looks like. Back brake first.
We do an exercise in our bike school with emergency brake procedures. You pedal, pedal, pedal (we do it down a hill to get enough speed) then enter a cone box and lock the brakes up and come to a stop (track stand). Inevitably, someone comes down and forgets back brake. Ugly.
