TDO Cheddar Gorge

This is a short video from Track Dropouts. Cheddar Gorge is near the village of Cheddar near Somerset, England and attracts 500k visitors a year.

Three riders from TDO take on Cheddar Gorge. What interest me is their brake setup. They are riding fixed gears with front brakes only. The brake lever is on the left side, which is typically for the rear brake. I believe this is a common motocross setup. This would confuse me.
