And getting my bike off the stand at the track.....well that's a 2 person job (me on the bike, them on the stand).

Getting the bike on the stand takes practice.

Getting the bike off the stand should never take more than just the rider:

If you are tall enough you can straddle the bike and push yourself off the stand.

If you aren't tall enough, stand beside the bike and grab the bars. Push the bike forward leaving your back foot in front of the wheels on the stand. The stand will hit your foot and tip forward dropping the bike onto the ground.
