I've seen riders with cleats who can stop without putting their feet down. This is even without a fixed gear.

A common skill for expert cyclists, but maybe not a good idea to rely on if you're going to fall 4 meters or more to the ground if you lose control of the track stand.

Not to mention it'd be a lot tougher from that high up in the first place. I can do that on a mountain bike pretty easily for a minute or so, but at broken-bone height? No way.

Why do you say it'd be tougher from that high up? I suspect it'd be easier. Inverse pendulums are more stable the longer they are.

I think you're talking about a track stand.
