Anybody got some loops or seen some sites with footage of balance.

I have got some great juggling and unicycle stuff and I am now on the hunt for some tightrope acts or if you really really want to make my day, some Harold Lloyd.

We might be able to trade some loops or something

Any tips for sites would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

The Edison Archive gets mentioned on here all the time, but one entitled "Caicido with Pole" is particularly fitting. Sort of a tightrope thing with a guy bouncing around on a rope and using a pole to keep balance. You'll find some other stuff on there as well, but that's a good "balance" loop. I think there's a Chinese acrobat loop as well, but I don't remember the title of it.

The movie "Siesta" has a good scene where someone walks across a clothesline as a tightrope.

Lot's of balancing in Cirque du Soleil. Also, you could try and order a tape with some "acro-balancing" on it... which is sort of like complicated Yoga positioning. I have a friend that has a book on it, but I don't have any loops.
