  1. I was wondering does anyone do any other high ballance activities, for
    cross-training purposes and do you think it helps.

    I was thinking about ballance boards, balls, etc.

  2. sometimes i lift weights sitting on a huge squishy ball. if anything
    unicycling helps that more than it helps unicycling.

  5. I have a rola bola that I practice now and then and I just got a
    slackline set. I haven't tried the slackline set because of all the
    snow, so I have to wait a few months for that, but I hope it helps.

  6. unicycling on a tightrope😎
    Slackrope is fun. I've tried it a year ago. But it's hard to get used
    to.

    Unicycling on a tightrope must be very difficult :eek: :eek: Especially
    since all your concentration has to focussed at all times. What is
    slackrope if you don't mind me asking??

    If you fail at unicycling or unicycle tricks, try again, when you try
    again. You will never fail.

    Watch Turtle's Youtube video, above to see what slacklining is. I've
    tried it and it's definitely something I'd like to do more. I find the
    balance aspect of slacklining to be pretty difficult since the line is
    moving kind of randomly under you. It's pretty fun and challenging.

  12. I can rola bola. I can sorta slackline, I never got an official one,
    just a long piece of webbing, but mine is really loose when I do it so
    it's pretty hard, but I could do it for a bit.

  20. I started slacklining in the summer last year, just before my exams
    which was a bad idea. I spent most of the summer in my garden on the
    line and I took it to the Crawley juggling convention as well. Its
    great fun although it took me a while to get the hang of. I got my line
    for free (someone on a slacklining forum gave it to me 🙂) and I spent
    about £20 or so on carabiners. Definetly worth the investment. I cant
    wait until summer for the garden to be dry enough.

    For those curious this is the only photo I have of me slackin'.

    PM if you want more details about slacklining. I'll happily witter on
    about it for ages.
