psycholist Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 Staying balanced on a trials bike is about tuning the feedback loop between your body position/balance point and the position of the tyres (If your centre of gravity is always on the line between the contact patches of the tyres you can't fall over). Other sports require balance, but the specific feedback loop needed to stay balanced is different for every sport, so other sports requiring balance will not make you instantly better balanced on a trials bike... If you do a few different sports you will develop better coordination overall though, which is very important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psycholist Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 You could also try super modified shovel racing... Not great for balance - standard shovel racing is better, but the best named sport possibly ever... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ti-mig-guy Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Wire walking, and trapeze. If you don't belong to a circus just practice your trackstand everyday for a month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
