Today’s lockdown challenge: ride a unicycle down 36 steps

This took me two hours to make
#flipbook #lockdown #magician #animalcruelty
I decided to set myself a little lockdown challenge. To string up my slackline in the garden and try stay on it without touching the ground for an entire hour. This would be my daily exercise.
Normally I would get on for five minutes, try some tricks, maybe try juggle on the line, lay on it, get down... just mess about. I would never ordinarily commit to just balancing on it for a full hour. But then I guess when most people go for a run they just go for a run, but every now and again sometimes, some of them run a marathon. I think that’s what this was for me.
It requires a lot of concentration and it’s quite physically demanding on my legs and my core. At the same time, it’s very zen and relaxing. I find I can allow my mind to wander.
Inevitably I end up thinking about one of my heroes, Phillipe Petite, the french magician, juggler and circus artist who illegally tightrope walked between the twin towers in what I think was the artistic crime of the century. His book To Reach the Clouds which chronicles how he pulled it off is one of my favourites. The documentary Man On Wire about his experience is something I wholeheartedly recommend. It plays out like a heist film and shows footage from the actual walk that is terrifyingly beautiful.
