It looks like he's falling over to me though. Maybe he just trackstands weird.
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.

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

They kinda made us use it. Besides, the whole reason for doing stuff like this naked is so that you don't have to wear/carry wet clothes.
