Fun times, but I would STRONGLY recommend a front brake on that - don't rely solely on that coaster. Chain brake or jump and you'll be turnin heads for all the wrong reasons.

Gobi is right about that. And even if you never lose braking because of some kind of chain failure, the fact is that that coaster brake could use a bit of help.
Also, have you reinforced the fender mounts? If the front fender, in particular, should break off and get caught in the tire/wheel at speed, you can do a face plant before you know it. Literally.
This might well be the biggest danger facing the newbie who doesn't know any better.
