In case you don't know (I just found out today), track standing is a term used when you are at a standstill on a bicycle. It is used when track cyclists are about to begin a race and are getting into position.

No, if you master the technique (I haven't) you can do a track stand anywhere. It's not only to start a race, but if you do road and have to wait for a red light, or down a trail and want to decide wich lines to take.

If you are learning to do a track-stand it is easier to learn how on a hill. Then as you get better progress to flatter spots.
Now go out and practice.

no, but it helps a little, track stands are very difficult to perfect, it takes a LOT of persistence...start practicing in short grass...
