be careful with clips on a fixie. its very easy to get knee blowouts. and if by toeclips you mean the old plastic cage that goes over your shoes, they are not hte way to go. look for some shimano spd pedals or any other brands, they are much better and safer. for trackstand , keep your head about your handlebars then stay balanced? lol. but head above handlebars makes it so much easier. you have to move your handlebars to keep your balance as well and dont be afraid to lean the bike if you need to. oh and if you want to be a real fixie rider, ditch the rear brake if you havent already.
