heres one little tip I used to use before every motocross race, do 1 legged squats to warm up your quads, but also to hold your balance, it kind of triggers your brain to think of balance, you may look like a bit of a yoga dork but it helps heaps. I actually do this at the beach before surfing, standing in the soft sand, I slowly squat down on one leg, hold the postion for a few seconds, get rid of all the wobbles, then do your other leg, give it a go. Like any gymnast, athlete, tradesman working on ladders, crane riggers etc, African woman carrying water jug on her head, you can train your brain to find better balance.

May the balance be with you.

Serious question: Is the other leg sticking forward or backward?

oh I just remembered, a buddy of mine races pro mx in Japan for Honda, he does his warm ups by standing on an excercise ball!

He said it took him a few months to master it!

Now he does slow 2 leg squats standing on the ball, I guess when his mx career is done he could do street performing in Surfers! Or roll logs down rivers in Canada..
