*My 10 fav tips for Skill Boarding...* 1. Mini is harder, Standard is more versitile. 2. Smooth for barefoot, Grip for shoes. 3. Start with a small ball on carpet, holding a chair. 4. Clear 4-5 feet of space and remove sharp objects. 5. Begin with 2-3 psi and work up to 6-9 psi. 6. Practice mounting and dismounting. 7. Practice rocking back/forth and left/right. 8. Get creative and invent some tricks. 9. Deflate to 5 psi when done to protect the ball. 10. Have some damn fun!

I don't know if I like the concept of rolling for training board sport balance because it seems like it would teach you to overcompensate. In a board sport, you mostly need to learn to compensate for changes in speed/vector only. When you compensate on a rolling board like this, you have to compensate much more aggressively, because the fulcrum always changes simultaneously with the speed. In a sport, your fulcrum is typically stable.

Interesting theory! Can't say I've experienced any ill effects, but it has definitely improved my reaction time, because of how unpredictable it is.

[@DavidSinanan]

In the same vein of body weight and stability exercises, the balance board would partner nicely with a TRX Suspension Training System. They're pretty cool. Dynamic adjustments, stabilizer engagement, could be right up your alley.

[@AndrewFolts]

Yea, definitely! It's the same kind of minimalist yet involve-the-whole-body type of gear that I love.

Hi Bro... I started Barefoot because of you .... Now please help me find best barefoot shoes for sports... I play lot of Cricket on muddy ground and sometimes on grass ground... If you don't know what Cricket is you can easily found on Internet... Thanks in advance bro

[@AndrewFolts]

TerraFlex from XeroShoes might be a good option. Has a pretty aggressive tread for mud, but still decently flexible: bit.ly/3W4wycC

Impressive!

[@AndrewFolts]

Ha, thank you. Was one heck of a challenge trying to balance and film myself at the same time. (:

Can this be used at a standing desk while working, along the lines of a treadmill desk minus the walking?

[@AndrewFolts]

It's probably too unstable/challenging for that with the regular balls, but you could get one of those half-dome balance balls to put it on, which would be better for longer standing sessions. amzn.to/3hXunck I generally prefer to sit, get a lot of work done quickly, then get up and do some Skill Boarding or other exercise. Although one of those curved treadmills would be cool!

You should listen to Xxv by broke for free it reminds me of you and your videos 😃

[@AndrewFolts]

Nice, sounds like a chill track!

[@panexplosivoh3113]

theres actually evidnence that shows that balance boards dont strengthen the ankles and thus the foot

[@AndrewFolts]

I can assure you that's not the case, ha. My calves were burning after spending fifteen minutes whizzing around on the Mini board. It's physically impossible to exercise and not build some sort of strength.

@@AndrewFolts he said evidnence and thats a new word we’ll hopefully understand some day 😂 Im a ball rider and i say da feet buuuurn!
