Can you guys Trackstand?

It's an indication of trackstanding skill. While it does require some balance and co-ordination, I've seen plenty of trackstanders who ride like dicks.

No, just means that they either haven't mastered the technique of trackstaning or have (like me) no sense of balance.

Is trackstanding actually an indication of manliness and social standing? Does the ability to trackstand make you more attractive to women and does it indicate that you have larger genitals than other people?

Yes.

Medical science tells us that the best way to determine the dominant or 'boss' leg is to stand with feet together and get a 'mate' to shove a tent peg or other sharp implement into your kidney (either) from behind. The foot you put forward first, before the pain makes you black out and collapse, is on your 'boss' leg.

An inferior method is to put yourself into a situation where people threaten to cut one of your legs off (genuinely or as part of an act, which you must nevertheless believe). The leg you choose to keep, if you are given the choice, is your 'boss' leg.

Or you can get yourself a skateboard and see which foot you will use to push off the ground.
My daughter is a goofy for example (resting left foot on the board).

Your daughter skates?

At 3yo?

Milk teeth?

EEi doesn't have any, all fake.

he tried to adjust the mudguards last year, coming from Wests, etc, etc, etc.....

Look mum, no teeth.

track stand is for hippyes!

i trackstand for year in a row! even while sleeping! at work, on the shower...during sex! i crap on my frame godamned it! now i do something even more difficult! i do kerbstand! cos allows me to dig my nose, and scratch my groin while im stopped! i became a multitask machine! and realised how much you can do when you dont track stand! and i cant fart when i do trackstand.

The instructor on my MTB course said "always learn to trackstand with one hand, so that you may give motorists the finger with the other."

I got an applause from tourists around trafalgar sq today for trackstanding. Loved it.

That's 'regular'. Unless she pushes 'mongo' (pushes with front foot instead of rear)

SS yes can track stand but not indefinitely.

Normally used for waiting for buses etc to get moving again.

I am not worthy *** bows in respect ***

Note to Editors: Author Bagheera remembers falling off learning to ride fixed in Traflagar Square in front of a group of tourists....

I was track standing today like a badass, during my 3 mile journey. Totally rocked like solid horse shit.

Yeap..Can everyone do it?

Depends on the dominant foot.

I practised in the dark in my back garden for a while (fixed, standing, right foot forward wheel to the right).
After about 15 mins I was sort-of getting it.

Then I tried on the street and found that I never ended up stopped exactly in the "right" spot.
In other words, where I wanted to end up stopped for a decent road position meant that I would have the cranks vertical say rather than horizontal. And I would promptly fall over when attempting to trackstand.

Alternatively, I could position where I wanted and unclip, endo the bike to get the cranks in the right position and hop back on, clip in and trackstand. Like a boss.

So you weave in the road a bit so the spot you want to stop at you cranks are more horizontal.

Or hop your back wheel up and whilst it's midair turn your cranks. Bit like a skip-stop. This is easier than you think.

Another great tip for track-standing is to run your tyres at a much lower pressure than normal. This increases the size of your contact patch with the road making track stands easier.

I've seen this comment before, and I still don't believe it. The wobbliness makes track stands harder, not easier, because every time you make an adjustment the contact patch takes a while to settle. The extreme condition would be proper uber-stiff track bike with 200psi in the tubulars versus long travel DH bike with 3" tyres at 20psi. Which do you really think will be easier to trackstand?

A skateboard?
