I reckon I look like a lunatic most of the time. I trackstand until the absolute bitter end, so that when I put my foot down, it's as a last ditch attempt to avoid falling off. Which I'm guessing doesn't exactly look graceful.
I've also developed a nasty tendency to stop trackstanding just as the lights go green, resulting in an annoyed grunt which startles pedestrians and cyclists, and probably makes me look even more unhinged.
