1) Don't use straps/clips (I still suck at doing them handless with my egg beaters/road shoe combo, but that's because I'm paranoid about breaking the cleats)

2) I've found that doing the "The Track Stand Zen" moment is one of the key elements to staying up. When you get to the stop in your proper position, focus on one FIXED point. I like telephone poles, or corners of buildings. Waving your eyes around doesn't help and it ****s with your head I think. If you're looking for a light, use your perepherial vision.

3) Learn how to sit down and trackstand before you do one handers.

4) Fall over a lot.
