- Learn how to balance anywhere on your bike with this track stand tutorial video. I'll show you how I learned to track stand in the Wisconsin winters using some space inside to keep warm - and then we'll go to the Shred Spot and dig deep into all of the tricks and track stand techniques to balance anywhere on your bike.
This trackstand video was inspired by another video that I did about the Five Parking Lot tricks to Practice, which you can check out here: • What To Practice On Yo...
I also made another trackstand video last year, which you can watch here: • How To Trackstand Fore...

I think this video deserves more views, the ultimate guide to learn track stand.
Thanks so much!! 🙏
Nice video. I'll try track standing again.
Practice makes progress! There's a newer trackstand video on this channel, definitely check that one out!
I only watched all the way though to see Mrs. Super Rider see you track standing with the couch.
Hahaha she is extremely supportive! :)
Awesome video. U explained it well. I am a roadie. I actually do my trackstand in a seated position. I do ok but I need some improvement. I cannot hold it for as long as I want like I see some guys do.
Thank you! I hope this is helpful!
I’ve been biking a long time. Up to this point, when I attempted to track stand, I just locked the brakes and tried to balance as best I could. Thanks for showing me a better method. I plan to practice a lot this winter, and hopefully be decent at it in time for spring.
Perfect! I'm sure you'll make some great progress this winter - please keep me posted as you do! If you ever have questions, feel free to pop into the Twitch livestream and I'll be happy to answer them on the spot.
what I found helped me a lot was practicing on the 3 bikes I had at the time- MTB, trials bike AND my road bike. I found once I did that it became easier real fast. I think it was just learning how the dynamic (I know, weird to say dynamic about a move meant to hold you in place) transferred to the different geometries of the bikes. Sadly, my trials bike was stolen, I have since sold off the road bike but just use my mountain bike for everything now. ALSO- practice riding really slow. It helps with balance. I also like to stop and start- just roll, stop, roll, stop, etc. If you do not have a immovable object then find a small incline and point your front wheel up that. Pedal pressure is then used to keep you from rolling backward.
Great! Thank you. There is three feet of snow outside my door so inside the house stuff is greatly appreciated!
I know that feeling all too well! Working on another indoor bike control video, hoping to have it out in the next few weeks as well. Stay warm!
It is a great video. While the basic skill we need to learn from the very very beginning is how to balance a bike when standing on it, which is the start of the start to learn track stand.
Thank you so much!
Thanks, Aaron. This is a great tutorial. That did clear up the question that I asked you on Twitch Tv yesterday about pedal pressure. I would recommend to anyone who would like to share a great back and forth chat with a great guy and a super rider to subscribe to your Twitch Tv channel. Have a good week and see you on Tuesday.
Awesome, thanks Martin! Glad this was useful and pumped to have you in the Twitch channel with us - see you Tuesday!
Again another top tutorial. My respect.
Thank you!! 🙏
This is the best trackstand tutorial I've seen, very easy to follow, many thanks!!! maybe similar (step by step) for back wheel hopping?
Thank you! There are two step by step videos for back wheel hops on this channel, have you seen them? I can add a link here if not, happy to help!
I watched a million bike videos, and yours are the most professional with the least views, how does that happen? Road cyclist here looking to learn some bike handling, good luck and thanks for all the free tips. 👍
Thanks so much, this made my day! Hope there are some useful tips in my videos - thanks for watching!
This is totally my New Years resolution.
That’s perfect! It’s going to happen in 2022, I know it! 🙌
Thank you for your bike tutorial!
Thanks so much for watching!
@@SuperRiderTV You are welcome!
This has made me realise I roll forward when trackstanding because I'm not using the front brake early enough or often enough!
Practice makes progress! Good that you caught that, I’m sure you’ll have it dialed in no time!
@@SuperRiderTV yep, I assumed I just needed to practice a lot more. I mean I still do, but I need to practice correct technique if I want to improve!
Agreed - you got this!
Great vid, as alwaya. May I've a question? When my front wheel directed left, I feel comfi when my left foot is in front. When I turn the wheel to the right, should I put my right feet in front? Obviously my left foot is the chocolate one, when it comes to Trackstand and anyway it much easier for me to Trackstand when wheel directed to the right.
Thanks! When you trackstand, keep you chocolate foot forward, no need to switch your stance. Most people trackstand with their front wheel pointing away from their front foot - but if you have more confidence and balance doing it the opposite way, it’s totally fine. As long as you can do the rest of the technique, you’re good to go!
Just asked the same Question bud lol I should have read the comments first Yip to the left ,left foot b to the right, Right foot he said if it feels fine .THEN ITS COOL 🤟🤟
@@SuperRiderTV Thank you for taking the time to reply me, cheers!
Of course! If you ever want to chat with me (and some other trials guys), come join the Twitch chat! We go every Tuesday and Thursday..
@@SuperRiderTV Fantastic, have just started to follow you there (SunnyBiking that's me) see you!
Hi bud. I noticed your Right foot forward going left. I can use NO BRAKES Slight incline to help but I use left foot forward and Steer left FEELS FINE! If to the right Right foot forward. WHAT'S CORRECT??
Whatever works best for you, if you’re comfortable and it’s working flawlessly, definitely don’t change it up. But…if you are having any struggles getting it and need to try a different approach to get it, then I’d suggest switching your front wheel direction. The reason I teach that way is having your front foot so close to the front wheel helps make the connection in your mind (and muscle memory) of how the pedals and wheels are closely connected for this technique. Hope that helps!
I didn't know such training exists. I want to do it at my balcony, but this damn heat is unbearable. Can't do it inside my home cuz no space for my bike.
I have an issue with the wombling. Every time I try that on the road, either my balance is off and I lean either left or right, or my bike is wombling itself. Any tips on those? I have seen others do that with the foot on the front tire, or others do 90 degrees turn for the front tire for the perfect balance.
Plus, my new bike might not have the back pedal, like few bikes do. So what to do in this case?
Check out this video, I think it might be even more helpful: ruclips.net/video/ApBWhctf_j8/видео.html
Hi does gear choice matter too? Thank you
I usually run about the fourth gear, just so it’s easy to put pressure on the pedals - but has a little movement. Too light of a gear and the pedal pressure won’t do anything.
@@SuperRiderTV thanks
I still dun get it how to let it roll back and fourth. Haiz
The part that makes the biggest difference is pulling your body weight from the front of the bike to the back. Using the momentum from that movement will get the bike moving back (and then you just push on the pedals to get it to roll forward). Hope that helps!
on my first attempts it took so much energy it's not even funny :}
not being tense helps a lot keeping the balance but it takes a while to get comfortable and relax.. should pressure on the handlebars be minimal?
It gets easier once your muscle memory kicks in for sure! I try to keep my weight over the center of the bike (maybe even a little back from there) - that helps when you’re rolling back, too.
@@SuperRiderTV thanks, wish you the best
Its so hard to move it backwards
It definitely takes a bit of practice - try to exaggerate that movement back and use your hips to pull the bike backward.
Does your bike goes backwards when pedaling backwards? Mine doesn't.
It doesn’t - when you backpedal, it releases the pressure on the rear hub. Your body’s movement from front to back creates the momentum for everything to roll backwards.
Why'd you change the name of the Channel?
A couple reasons - but mainly because I’m driving toward bringing the original Super Rider concept back to life (it’s an old trials show from the 90s that I loved). Additionally, I realized no one could pronounce my last name correctly 🤣🤷🏻♂️
Is it pronounced Loo-tzee?
Yeah!
trackstand inside my room for more than 11 minutes and I was sweating massively. And I have to stop to wipe all the sweats, forgot to mention I am on my pajama and slippers....
Hahaha YES!!
I know what you mean. Ten minutes of practicing to trackstand and I sweat more than an hour of mountain biking.
Once the muscle memory kicks in, it gets easier! Practice makes progress! :)
I will probably sweat less once I lose weight. I am 6"4" and 320lbs. I gained a lot of weight this year after I broke my bike. It took months to get a new one and I became a couch potato. I need to get the weight off this winter. At this weight, it is hard to do any trials.
You got this!
