Trying trackstands tonight, (gotta learn sometime), I found it made my back hurt? and I couldn't do it at all, (that's where a lot of my spills came from, losing balance and not getting feet out to catch myself.)

Any tips, suggestions, advice, well wishes, ANYTHING, for the noobie would be great. Already love cycling, now I love it more with a fixed.
