I was on the morning ride to work today and pulled up beside someone I had never seen before and I did my usual thing; pulled up, trackstand, "Morning, how you doing?" We exchanged small talk and I took to noticing his track standing style.
I'm probably not doing it 'right' but I kick the front wheel to one side(which often depends on how I stop, maybe left, maybe right) and use plenty of brake, both front and back. I'm standing over the center of the BB.
But - this guy this morning was up over the front no brakes, just hips forward, up against the handlebars, front wheel kicked, no brakes that I could see, looked strange.
I know that trackstanding would be whatever works is what works, but I've seen fixies pedal back and forth to do it.
How many different 'ways' are there to trackstand.
