Ha! So true. I can only wheelie from a trackstand. Any time I try to do it while riding, I learn a new lesson about how to fall.

get good at flipping out of your clip while in trackstand, the motion will help when you're going to fall.

what i mean is moving the bike forward so you can pull your feet out of the clips but still have your stand.

i'm not that great a trackstander but i can do it without hands now in clips and i really think having the foot dexterity has helped a lot.
