I've been riding fixed for about 6 months now. I love it (mainly for the great things it's doing to my leg muscles).

I've never managed to skid on purpose, only as a last second emergency with the assistance of my front brake. As for trackstanding, I don't seem to have the balance.

Anyone got any tips?

Scatter broken glass on the floor either side of where you are practicing your track stands. Added motivation to not fall off.

Extra jeopardy. I like it. Maybe an upward-pointing spike on the frame too?

Did this it worked very well. Sadly couldn't do it on normal rides so now carry a bag full of glass bottles.

Be wary when skidding though, managed to burn out my tire in a matter of weeks when I tried at first.
