My understanding of track stand after some research is to keep a constant pressure on the front feet against the bike’s tendency to roll back. I just don’t get how to make the bike roll back when doing track stand.
You don't necessarily have to be rolling back, I often find that stopping and engaging my back brake (or both), then keeping pressure against the braking of your bike works well!
It's the angle of the wheel and how you position your weight, try tilting the frame until it makes contact with your leg in the same direction you turn the wheel, experiment how much weight you hang over your bars or behind
I have no idea how the mechanics of it work or how to explain it but out of never wanting to touch the ground while at stop lights I've managed to do perfect track stands for quite some minutes so far
You don't need to, but to roll back you load your body to the front, then move to the back and just when you reach the "end" you Ou let off the brake. It's like doing a stoppy and right at the landing you let off the brake, but not earlier. This pushes you backwards for a few meters.
Another piece of advice from a fellow trackstander (mainly on fixed, but also on bikes that can freewheel) : A good place to begin practising trackstands is somewhere with a very slight gradient. Have your front wheel towards the gradient. This is what I find to be the easiest way to find that 'sense of balance' while rolling back. Of course, relying on this method isn't the best; practising trackstands in a variety of places that are safe for trackstanding is ideal. Also, having your master leg forward should help.
I’ve managed to learn trackstands without a tutorial. It’s all about weight balance on the feet and not much on the hands. After a while, you’ll be able to pull off one handed trackstands with ease and impress your friends. Here is a bonus tip: if you are looking into trials riding from dirt bikes to bicycles, this is a very good tip for nailing the sport!
I'm a track stand guru. The trick is to point your wheel up the slope of the road so you can roll back or pedal forward. The slightest incline is enough to hold perfectly still. If it is really flat or you're going downhill, the front brake and solid balance is key.
Would be very interesting to see if you could man, I think the weight would make it a lot harder, and you can't move the bike as quick as needed might be another issue. but let me know if you get it right?
I learn a bike very late in my life since I dont have the money and I was traumatized when I was a kid when we bough one and I fell quite deep in a hole and broke my arm... learn it again when I was 17 because my dad bought me one and let me tell you I finally can join with my friends on a off road bike trip🎉, now just need to learn motorcycle
Weird to me that this is something that needs to be taught. I haven’t rode a bike in years, but when I was a kid I knew how to do that just from riding my bike every day and not being brain dead.
I (until repair is done) rode a triathlon everywhere and one day I was doing a track stand at a light in the city where I normally don’t traverse. Spaced somewhat out I did and fell on my side without trying to stop it. Must’ve looked hella funny for those behind me.
Haha damn man, those lapse In concentrations will get ya😅 Hope you are all good? And to be honest I've had my fair share of trackstand fails, but failing is learning😎👌
Nice man, good job for still practicing and trying! Hopefully this video can help a bit, but it takes some time and dedicated practice🙌🏼 Keep trying, you will get it!
For me this trick was hard to learn, but easy to master once I got it figured out, wheelieing is the opposite, pretty easy to get and hold the wheel up but holding it for miles and mastering it is hard
I’m glad my country thaught me how to ride a bike in 4th grade. Thanks to the internet I’m always shocked by how much my country teaches kids things the outside world schools does not.
@@a2bbiking Norway. From my understanding all Norwegian schools at 4th grade at one point undergo learning about traffic rules, how to ride a bike safely in traffic and what to do. As well as having practice on a bike trough various different routes and test. Especially the 60 second stand.
No ways man, that's actually incredible, I wish more places would start teaching kids that from a young age, it will avoid a lot of problems at a later stage👌
@@a2bbiking thanks a lot man! Well yeah, of course I got back on the bike again. It was a silly accident after all. The broken collar bone after 6 months though..😂😂.. Almost lost my motivation after this.. At least for the harder trail lines.
I can pretty nuch track stabd to the point where my legs will give out from holding the same position before i loose my balance but i still cant wheelie for more then twenty feet, idk why I can't master the balance for that.
Well done on the trackstand man! That's awesome! I will be doing a more in depth video to better understand the wheelie, but for now all I can say intentional practice is your friend, it takes some time🙌🏼
track standing also helps a ton when adjusting and navigating some sketch tech lines. I gotta use it alot for north shore type features since im tall and i ride a massive bike, some of the turns just dont work with my frame geometry and i end up having to track stand and then scoot and hop the bike into position.
Absolutely, it's one of those skills that ends up being super valuable in so many other areas of your riding. Point in case riding north shore stuff, it's great incentive to not fall off the side of anything up in the air😅👌
I don’t know what the advantage of those weird clippy shoes is, but I just got regular pedals that got grippy metal bits to grab my boots. I also don’t really get what’s wrong with using a foot to prop yourself up when stopped for a solid duration
Clips are just a different option, very much a personal preference for most people🙌🏼 Nothing wrong with using your foot to prop yourself either, this is more about being stable and learning balance so when you climb technical climbs later on you can improve your balance😎
I personally wouldn’t use your breaks when practicing because if you mess it up you can just instantly start rolling off to save it. But that’s my opinion
The other day at the lights (red) on my hardtail Ragley Big Al, I balanced for 10-15secs waiting for the lights and got a round of applause from passers-by 😅 The more balanced the bike the easier it is to do and as the man says practice practice practice
Absolutely an option🙌🏼 It's just a nice skill to have in the pocket, cause it is valuable for balancing while out mountain biking, eg steep switchback climbs where you might be going slow. Just good to practice in a parking lot
I just don't use clips 👀 and track standing has been around forever. Trial bike riders do it flawlessly 👌easiest way to learn is up against a wall so you can just lean the bars up if you go off balance and keep your feel in the pedals then do a recovery jolt back to upright
Nice work & learning, I think it's best to learn on flats and then you know how to correct if you transfer to clips at some stage🙌🏼 But trials guys have some crazy skills too haha
Funny, I’ve been trying to do this since I was a kid just for fun, not knowing it was a thing people actually do. And for some reason I never considered turning the front wheel to be the answer
I always do this since i was in middle school until second year of HighSchool ...i am pro at it . Now i am using motorcycle its even easyer because it have bigger surface area at the tire... I always try to not put my foot down on red light haha😅😅
Also track standing can help performance 😂 Like i sometimes when i use used to ride my bike I never had the balls to curve while doing a big turn like on a curve... It gave me the chills always when i had to go onto a scenario with a curve on a trail that needed you to either slow down like a old grandma or to literally tilt almost like motorbike racist- Racers**** So the tiny movement usually was so hard to control after a turn to get back straight So practising to counter push the weight/controlling the bike kinda helps
Learned it track stands on a fixie although I can only do it with the wheel turned towards the foot that is forward, this is party due to toe overlapping
@@a2bbiking I think it’s way easier since you can pedal backwards to counter that side otherwise I need to be on a upward hill with a standard bike, so props to those guys like yourself
@a2bbiking as an ex motorcyclist I had an experience where my shoe lace from my boot was stuck on the peg and I couldn't remove my foot so I went to move the other foot instead just to find out that shoe lace had also got stuck! I had to just sit there and watch myself fall over when I had to brake because I lost the momentum to stay up right to fix it and after almost getting my skull crushed by oncoming traffic the thought of strapping my feet in is terrifying 😂

Mtn Biking in Cape Town is amazing
Without a doubt some of the absolute best trails😎
Wow, didn’t know they had trails in south africa for mtb!
And some good ones too😎
Stellies is better for enduro and sightseeing I think.
@@ELIGOHUMBLE South Africa is a big country you know
It's true, track standing on most technical routes is a very useful skill
Absolutely, as soon as it gets technical and slow, it's so good to have the bike balance🙌

Hell yeah the bums under the bridge are always tryna steal my bike when im taking advantage of their prime gradient 🤣
We just not gonna talk about the way he was holding the cup. OOOOKAAAY
Which cup are you referring to my friend??😅
Tbh thats the skill i got unintentionally as when i was a kid i was trying to not fall if i stop so that was it
Awesome man! Good skill to learn by accident😎

Dude you have a mtb park build around you im jealous
I live in Cape Town, South Africa, and we are very lucky with some amazing places and things to ride!
That actually makes your overall balance better
Absolutely, such a good skill all around on the bike😎👌
That felt very relatable
Yeah man😅
1980s BMXing is glad you've caught up.
Haha, made me smile😅👌
I just bought a bike yesterday and I'm so happy.
Ayyy, let's go! Love it man, enjoy the new bike!
"Green Green Grass, Blue Blue Sky"
Haha yes sir, Cape Town really is a beautiful place to produce videos!🌄
I used to track stand every stop light on road bikes, the brakes are your enemy, use the natural resistance and rock the wheel as needed
For sure, once you get it locked in, it becomes so versatile and you get proper comfortable doing it🙌🏼
That outro is legendary
Thanks mate😎
taught myself to trackstand on my fixed gear, never felt more proud of myself 😊
Ayyyy, what a legend, well done man😎
@@a2bbiking appreciate it💯 although doing it fixed gear is significantly easier than single speed for sure
Me who’s never mountain biked a day in my life
“write that down! write that down!

"Oh shit!" Kabam! Right in front of everyone
Yup, "Ego destroyed"😂
Why unclip when you can just fall over, that’s my preferred way to stop!
This made me smile😅😂 Only mountain bikers will understand
unscheduled dismounts are the best kind
Do a Barrel Roll!
@@Fausto_4841 A barrel roll🤣🤣 Love it
I recommend practicing using the curb
For sure, just make sure you can do the technique first, then use the curb for timing
Lovely stuff dave
Appreciate the kind words😎🙌 Cheers
Dave is an amazing actor.
Haha thanks so much😅 Honestly having more fun making these videos than I should be😎
Worse is when you don’t unclip and still mess up the track stand
Indeed, but at least that means you are learning and progressing, I struggled with it on flat pedals for quite some time🙌🏼
I did this on my fixie, tried to go backwards and ate it in front of 20 people.
Thank you Dave!
Absolute pleasure my friend😎
Just PRACTICE thats the best thing you can do
Fully agree man, nothing beats getting the time and reps In👌
This is the best CZcamsr
Ayyyyy! Appreciate that bro😎 Day made
I've done this since I was a kid 🙈 I always do it when I reach a red light for fun 😅
Ayyyyy! Let's go! That's awesome man, I also can't even remember when I learnt it, but it's such a fun skill I end up using so often nowadays👌
I didn't practise this not even one day and i can still do it
Nice man! That's awesome, you must have some great balance🙌🏼
after driving to school by bike everyday for 12 years, I developed this skill naturally without even knowing what I'm really doing lol
What? That's epic man, what a cool skull to just come by😎👌
Wish I could actually ride a bike to make usage of this knowledge
Ah man, any plans of getting a bike in the near future?
Great fun and informative, thank you.
It's an absolute pleasure, and thank you for the kind words! Hope you get it right😎🙌
Awesome! I learn track stand on a fixie!
Awesome, well done my friend!
Easier on a Fixie than a freewheel friend :)
Huh, wonder if I can replicate this on a motorcycle
Would be very interesting to see if you could man, I think the weight would make it a lot harder, and you can't move the bike as quick as needed might be another issue. but let me know if you get it right?
I like the cut of your vibe

as the friend passing by, I didn't even know that was a flex but nice.
Ayy, glad to have friends passing by! Thanks man😎
Probably most helpful for those riding fixed. Always a fun time when I was doing that.
Absolutely, just a great all round skill to have in the arsenal👌 Do you still ride?
@@a2bbiking I wish I still had my bike. Sold it to get into cars. Debating if I should get another fixed bike and start over again.
Nice man! Also a fun hobby👌 Maybe get a bike down the line and you can do both? Best of both worlds😎
I didn't know that was a trick I just figured I was really good at balancing
Oh nice man haha! Awesome skill to accidentally learn! How long did it take you to learn it?🙌
Thank you I'm gonna try biking
Ayyy, this is the kinda energy we need😎👊 let's goooo
I do it all the time at stop lights, I ride flat pedals but I do it just for fun, i've seen quite a few people do it, specifically those on fixed gear
Awesome man! Glad you've got it locked down, such a nice skill once you dont have to think about it too much🙌
Yeah I ride a tiny ass hard tail so I prefer to be standing so I got straight wheel track stands pretty much down
Don't have my own bike but still watching.....
Haha maybe this is your sign to give it a go?😎
@@a2bbiking nah , I realy don't have mine 😔
Sorry to hear bro, I hope that you get a bike to try one day my friend👊🙌

Weird to me that this is something that needs to be taught. I haven’t rode a bike in years, but when I was a kid I knew how to do that just from riding my bike every day and not being brain dead.
Well done for learning man, I also learned via just riding a bunch as a kid🙌🏼
I've been riding bikes since I could remember...i didn't even know this was a problem, I've never seen anyone do this before
Not necessarily a problem, just a useful skill to have in the arsenal for riding technical trails🙌
The fact that I’m both great at track standing and an Irish dancer Lmfao 😂😂😂😂😂
Let's gooo! What a rad combination man😎😅
Awesome ❤
Thank you so much man❤️
Wear shinguards when I go out in my hand with my mountain bike pedals shit my shit hurts
Damn man, at least you have some sort of shin protection, hopefully you wont need them soon😎👌
I do track stands but since I don’t have clips I place my foot in the front tire and manipulate the wheel to keep myself upright.
Oh Nice man, that's quite advanced! Well done💥

For me this trick was hard to learn, but easy to master once I got it figured out, wheelieing is the opposite, pretty easy to get and hold the wheel up but holding it for miles and mastering it is hard

Aweh Dave!
Aweeeeh😎
"nooooooooo!!!"

It’s even easier when there’s a small rock or tree root to lean your wheel against
Interesting, I've never even thought about that man! I like having the bike able to move around underneath me🙌👌
@a2bbiking yeah it’s probably a good thing to let it move underneath you
Yeah, keeping the body nice and stable🙌👌
I didn’t know this was possible
Nice man, glad you know now, its such a useful skill to have in the bag😎🙌
I got crashed with motorcycle 💀
Noooo, bro I'm sorry man, I hope you heal up soon my brother🙌
Also track standing can help performance 😂
Like i sometimes when i use used to ride my bike
I never had the balls to curve while doing a big turn like on a curve...
It gave me the chills always when i had to go onto a scenario with a curve on a trail that needed you to either slow down like a old grandma or to literally tilt almost like motorbike racist- Racers****
So the tiny movement usually was so hard to control after a turn to get back straight
So practising to counter push the weight/controlling the bike kinda helps
Absolutely man, that's super interesting 🙌 really appreciate the feedback.
Amazing how the little tips & tricks make such a big difference👍
I have a fall of shame. No unclip here
This made me have a good giggle😅🤣
If I accidentally let go of the front brake when tilting
I tend to favor my back brake while tarckstanding if I'm honest👌 Do you lose your balance when you let go of the front brake?
Learned it track stands on a fixie although I can only do it with the wheel turned towards the foot that is forward, this is party due to toe overlapping
How is it on a fixie? To be honest I've never tried, but I am sure it adds a whole other dynamic to the technique.
@@a2bbiking I think it’s way easier since you can pedal backwards to counter that side otherwise I need to be on a upward hill with a standard bike, so props to those guys like yourself

i dont have friends :(
i mean i do, but the most they know about bikes is the fact you pedal
Have you got a mountain bike park near you my friend?🙌🏼 Might be a great place to start to hang out with some other riders😄
I can track stand but I would never use the shoe clips 😂
You would be surprised my friend, once you get comfortable with them, you might really like them😅🙌
@a2bbiking as an ex motorcyclist I had an experience where my shoe lace from my boot was stuck on the peg and I couldn't remove my foot so I went to move the other foot instead just to find out that shoe lace had also got stuck! I had to just sit there and watch myself fall over when I had to brake because I lost the momentum to stay up right to fix it and after almost getting my skull crushed by oncoming traffic the thought of strapping my feet in is terrifying 😂

I still don't understand what trackstand is. Is it a bike stand or not?
A track stand is when you stop and balance on your bike while stationary my friend
