sassnetguy50 Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 Warning: do not try this at home. Doing so may result in a broken hip. This is done by a professional in a controlled environment after eating the morning Wheaties. https://youtu.be/9iF9P5MPR8k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cypress Sun Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 Balance, not too good. Work destroyed knees don't help. Perhaps, I should become a Weeble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irish ike, SASS #43615 Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 I couldn't do that even when I was young and in shape! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. R. Hugh Kidnme Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 Not too good. While watching, I fell out of my desk chair 8 seconds in. Good time for bull riding, not so good for a balance exercise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Shoer 27979 Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 When I was young, and working as a carpenter. I could run on the second floor top plates with no worries. Now I barley trust myself walking lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackwater 53393 Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 When I was a kid I could walk on a split rail fence and I used to be able to stop my motorcycle at a red light and not put my feet down! Now, I mostly walk with the aid of a cane or a staff to keep from flopping over!! In retrospect, I HAVE BECOME UNBALANCED!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to see you flop over Blackwater, I can sell ticket and we will split the profit. Then for extra money they can watch you struggle to get up like a turtle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The officer claimed it is impossible to stop without putting a foot down therefore I must have done a California stop. If only we knew it would turn into a sport.

That explains why I don’t bounce as good as I once did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I usually get up (fairly) stylishly, if a little slowly! 49 minutes ago, sassnetguy50 said: I got a ticket for that here.

I thought I was good at it until I entered a contest at a local biker bar that my band used to entertain at. I had gone one round and was watching some of the other contestants. An old guy on a ridgid knucklehead pulled up and stopped. He then shifted his old chopper into reverse and backed into a parking space without ever dropping a foot off the pegs!! It had an old bias ply tire on the rear and a 3spd transmission out of a bike with a sidecar! Three forwards and a reverse!! Gnarly old dude and a really gnarly old scooter!! He won the contest, hands down!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sixgun Sheridan Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 I can't even put my pants on in the morning without falling over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 My balance is near perfect. I almost can't fall down....as long as I'm flat on my back spread eagled on the floor. I've fallen more in the last five or six years than I did my entire life before that. (Not counting some skiing, boxing, climbing, and other macho activities accidents when I was younger and trying to prove how good I was. It's been a long time since I was 30 and pretty much gave all that up). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
