tried for 1 : 30, failed. my arms are shot, gonna give standstills a 4-5 day rest and then give it some more goes.

but i did get 1 min! :smiley:

42

did just one try and got a 1:40 one foot stillstand :wink:

43

where should the pedal be that your foot is on when your doing one? at like 6 oclock?

44

I have my cranks horisontal when Iā€™m doing onefoot stillstands

I find slightly above horizontal with the front foot off to be the easiest. So if at horizontal the back pedal is at 3 oā€™clock than my best balance is with that pedal at about 2:30 or 2:45.

The idea is that there is always a little pressure on that leg. With the waist slightly bent, the frame and upper body are both cantilevered out to the front, and the wheel wants to roll forward even when you are perfectly balanced. So the back leg adjusts pressure on the pedal being forced up, to keep the wheel relatively stable while the upper body is moving to maintain balance and consequently changing the level of force on the wheel.

iā€™m going to join this, i need to seriously improve my stillstands if i ever want to ride railings! :stuck_out_tongue:

I think stand still-dominoes would make good use of these made skillsā€¦

49

Nice Job! I remember when you had problems on skinnies, and then you learned to let go of the seatā€¦ wowā€¦ youā€™ve come a long way!

Excellent challenge fellow gunslingerā€¦Me thinks I can rise to the challengeā€¦Should we establish an ā€œageā€ class just like in professional motorcycle racing? If agreedā€¦Iā€™m IN !! Suggest 10 year increments.
LOL

57

I just got 3mins and then the neighbours stopped and watched me.I felt awkward ignoring them so i got off.Ill try and film something longer

58

wow Josh, Iā€™m really impressed. Iā€™ve never really timed my still stands but I donā€™t imagine they last very longā€¦

Maybe next time I go out itā€™ll tyre me out less than the big rocks by the seaā€¦

59

Iā€™ll try to film meā€¦ I just need to find a Tripod to hold my camera:p The longest I have on film is 1 minute, I know I can do longer though.
