Isn't it like a hand-stand but with the bike still fixed to your clip(less) pedals?

A trackstand is where you stand on the pedals while you're stopped and balance the bike. It's called a track stand because people who ride on the track (velodrome) do it.

Good job you were here - I might have got in all sorts of trouble ... hang on though, Wikipedia is my friend, here it is - got it now:

Pulling your front brake and getting your back wheel up in the air. Also known as a stoppie.

You are mine of information jaz; I don't know where we'd be without you.

I put my left down unless there is a curb on the right I want to use. Since we drive on the right side of the road here I feel the camber of the road makes me favor the left because it is not as far to touch the ground. I need a bit of work on my track standing technique as well as my stoppies. I think a combination of both (at once) at stops would be impressive. Maybe not as impressive as the girl pictured above but still wouldn't be too shabby.

unclip left first, clip in right first

Simple reason way, I used to have a serious drink problem, not touched the stuff since Nov 2011

I can relate to that. Same here, except I haven't touched it since Jan 2009 .

I unclip my left foot because it is my less dominant/weaker leg

balance stationary without putting feet on ground

sounds far too advanced for me. I might get around to taking my stabilisers off soon!!!

Ah, that little trick - yes, I mastered that some time ago

Nice one.
Just replaced it with this one, at least you get out with this one, and whats more you get use to the not so nice weather.

Same. Right handed if that makes a difference.
