how do some riders just stand in one spot without putting a foot down and not fall over? does anyone know of any good practice techniques or videos that might help?



Thanks.....

See it isn't practice, or technique or all that other stuff, it's better than that. it's how much you play on your bike. Find out how slow you can go without falling over. Eventually you get to a dead stop.

The other guys had real info for you. I'll just encourage you to goof around on the bike until you get good at it.

it just takes practice. remember: you're always moving while doing a trackstand (moving your body, rolling forward or backward, etc).

You can, you will.

Like the other guy pointed out, it's a dynamic thing. You will be moving, just not a lot. It really is one of the essential skills and you'll pick it up.

Have fun and good luck.
