well now, that is certainly interesting. I can certainly see that as a test of your ability to properly and deftly use your pedals, however a "ballance" test I dunno. Still looks like it would be a fun challenge to take on. Def one you could make a contest out of to see who could get it the quickest.

Yeah, they blew it when they called it a "balance test".

We could certainly make a set of those for the next 101.

A real balance test is a full size teeter totter!
There was one at a GAJR years ago. Was comical watch people struggle on it. :lol:

That seems nearly impossible as once you realize you need to go in the other direction, it's too late. :doh:

Think of the possibilities of combining both videos balance tests into one!

We are hoping to add a teeter totter in the next year or so. Hoping to add a lot actually. :)

I like this one. Adds the throttle control, clutch control, and braking modulation while also allowing for success!

I'd be inclined to suggest flat spotting the log so that it's at least possible to achieve and maintain a balance - especially at a 101.

There was a teeter totter at the first ever Jeep 101. It was a trailer that was set up on a couple of triangular metal stands - no flat spots. I saw maybe 2 or 3 % of the peeps who tried it succeed.
