dann2707 Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 So me and a mate were riding last night on some pretty thin logs. I was wondering how you guys ride along them? At first I was riding along them whilst looking at my front wheel and kept slipping off (poor disc) However I changed my technique and simply looked ahead where I wanted to go and didn't even look at my tyre! And from this I went straight along it with no slippage and for the rest of the night I kept using this tekkers and didn't slip off. Is this normal to do, just don't look at the tyre slash wheel and just look where you wana go?! Confused to f**k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*gentlydoesit Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 You look at your feet while running? At the wheel while driving? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann2707 Posted April 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 That's a little bit different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Yoshi Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 You look at where your wanting to go. Not just right in front of you. Not that much different.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HippY Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 if it is a little bit like motorbiking, then you must look where you want to go, as on bikes you can get a nasty crash even looking at the other car, as you do go where you look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
persistant_itch Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 I tend to look about 3 feet ahead of the front wheel, I normally do ok. my technique could be flawed if I try to manual it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Anscombe Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 When slacklining-i look at the destination -its 10 times harder for me to walk the slackline if im looking at my feet ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callum199922 Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 I look just in front of my tire so i can see exactly where it is going and see ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Banks Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 Does anyone find it weird as soon as you introduce any kind of height to a log, your balance goes all to pot, I can ride along a line on the ground no bother, but raise it up six inches and I just fall of.
