While i'm not saying that you should be unclipped when you trackstand, i gotta tell you from experience (and an experience that i am POSITIVE i am not the only one to experience) sometimes it's just not that easy. The slow trackstand fall is unavoidable sometimes. It doesn't matter that its slow. Sometimes you get the foot down, othertimes you don't. It's hilarious to watch, and though embarassing, it's pretty funnny when it happens to you too.
