Indo Board Handstand

Playing around with the Indo Board, a fun toy that was given to me by my good friend Shawn Mozen.
Good balance is specific! There is no general development of your sense of balance after the age of 12-13. All that you do after that age is acquire new skills, but success in performing new feats of balance DO NOT represent substantial development of your general balance.

Having said that, its a lot of fun!

@portaIdo I didn't understand the balance explanation in the description. So you're saying that if I didn't work on my balance before I was 13, I'm screwed for life? =/

[portaldo]

@3runMX No, you can learn everything, but through skill acquisition. You cannot become better at everything-balance by training one skill like you could, to a degree, when you were younger. (if you are not under 13....)

What makes you say that training on unstable surfaces doesn't improve your balance on stable surfaces? As far as I see it, every surface is more or less unstable. Even if you're balancing on something very solid, there's still the parts of your body that are equally unstable as the surfaces you try to coordinate alongside the parts of you body.

@catsarewaytoocool Looks can be misleading. Actually, it is a completely different skill set. Moving your center of mass above a fixed point of support and moving the point of support below a fixed center of mass are two different beasts. Coordination development follows the SAID principle. It is VERY specific.

Ido, great video, glad to see new content from you, as you're probably busy.

I also appreciate you sharing your view on unstable surfaces and discussing your statements in the video comments. This youtube channel is a valuable resource, keep up the good work!

I never thought to myself to go try that. That's for u to boast about

[mainentz]

the same thing is valid for rings handstand?

[HeyHaneul]

you are my role model !

[r2Facts]

WOW.. I love the way your mind thinks. “What kind of muscles are your abs? They are STABILIZERS and the only way to train stability is through INSTABILITY you need a unstable surface" but you say no.. I am very interested in knowing why you think this way please.. like an airplane on the runway the stabilizer’s have NO function, it must be in the air for them to work efficiently.

Props! How long did it take you to acquire that?

cool～

Brilliant!! I think this is the first person I have seen do this. I have a hard time with indo board standing up.
