Advice

Went to Wal-mart today, couldn't find the shopping carts balance point to save my life...any help? It was 9 degrees today and the wind chill right now is -15 to -20, so I figured I'd try stuntin indoors... This blows, I couldn't wait to ski and now its too cold to even do that!! Well I guess it's back to Wal-mart tomorrow for more practice!!

The real question of balance is did you have the little seat open or closed in the cart? That throws your whole balance off if it's open.

Sadly enough I have some shopping cart wheelieing advice. Keep your feet positioned so that the toes are on the bar, and you heels are touching the rear wheels. This is your rear brake. Now leam back past the balance point and use the brake like real stunta.

Of course I'm kinda cheating. I have my very own Wal-Mart shopping cart at home to practice on anytime I want.
