Does anyone actually track stand with their wheel facing away from their front foot? I just tried it, and it could be because I'm so used to the other way, but it threw my weight way off. Couldn't do it for the life of me.
Please explain how being able to do it four ways is any better than two.
at 1st it's the weirdest thing to do because you're going to reversing the feel of a regular track stand but after a lot of practice, you'll see how useful it is when you need to use it. try and make it to the point of it being as close to natural as the "regular" way.
btw learning this will also help you, if do don't know already, how to do reverse circles. trackstanding in all 4 will get you used to balancing yourself in reverse. here's a short clip of me
