It does look cool though.
I have to disagree. I know plenty of folks who learned the skill claiming they have no sense of balance. Heck, I learned it, so can you. Just practice, practice, practice.
The first wrong impression I had when learning to track stand is to keep the bike as steady as possible. This is simply not true. As others have stated here, there are miniscule movements involved to keep your balance.
