Because rollers spin down much faster than you do when coasting on an actual road, and how the F is gyroscopic action supposed to keep you up when the wheels are stationary? Trackstands are a combination of the very same dynamics that keep a moving bicycle up (only the bike is rolled both forwards and backwards) and pure balance.

1. Don't call me "bro." 2. Gyroscopic resistance is a less-silly explanation than angels, but only marginally so. It's so obviously false, and has been debunked for so long, that it sounds very nearly as foolish.
