Got balance?
Can you ride a bike? How about a unicycle (all you Mudders out there)? Ever tried doing a trackstand-- balancing on a bicycle while at a standstill? Granted, that's a lot easier to do when you have a "fixie", a bicycle with a fixed rear axle that lets you pedal both forwards and backwards, but means you have no gears and no freewheel (no ability to coast while holding the pedals still).
Once you have mastered a trackstand, try it on a trampoline.
While jumping.
These guys have waaay too much practice:
I am in awe. Awe.
Kudos to Car Free Days and Bike Commuters for posting this video, and to the performers for giving me another reason for deepest humility as I behold, and enjoy, their mastery.
