What? No, you unclip the LEFT foot, and flip the pedal so as to not accidently clip it back in just before you come to a stop. Let me tell you my (in)ability to do track stands has really shown up in the time since I switched to clipless pedals, which I absolutely love, in fact I even love them if I'm not wearing my shoes and I'm using the platform side instead, because it's easier than standing on the straps or using clipped pedals upside down. I also thought the adjustment was pretty easy, and although there have been numerous violent and awkward looking kick outs, I haven't fallen yet. But I did have years to get used to clipped pedals, so maybe that's practice.
