Wooden hand balance board - Play
By ordering this item, you receive a podium consisting of a wooden board, two canes, 2 bases, 2 wooden bricks and a storage bag .
Professional balance equipment:
It is a structure that folds completely flat to occupy minimal space and be easily transported.
The two low bases are fixed to the wooden base, which allows you to set a single distance between the canes. You can optionally purchase a compatible kit equipped with a ball bearing to achieve 360° rotating balances (not included in this kit).
Acrobat podium video:
Please note, the video illustrates the more sophisticated version of the podium (the difference lies in the number of bases). The product looks similar, so we thought it would be interesting to show you this video on this page despite the differences.

NetJuggler info:
This kit is a simple and basic version which does not allow the distance between the rods to be adjusted. We offer a more sophisticated but more expensive version which has more bases and therefore can be used for several sizes of tightrope walkers: the adjustable podium .
For what type of practice?
The total height of 58cm is a height commonly used in acrobatics. The distance between the rods of 34cm corresponds to a standard distance. This is an average corresponding to many adult tightrope walkers. If you want a custom distance between the rods, we invite you to create your own board and purchase our kits including rods, bases and bricks .
This kit uses the same canes and bricks used on the Gerris podium. Compatible rods can therefore be interchanged between these two kits.
Maintenance information
On the base where the rod is positioned, the whole thing is held in place thanks to a bolt that can be seen in the photos. If you are regularly assembling and disassembling this part, it is necessary to be perfectly straight when tightening and loosening, otherwise you risk damaging the female thread on the base.
This problem can actually occur if the screwing is not carried out perfectly straight, in particular because we use high-end aluminum for the manufacture of the bases. The combination of bolt steel and aluminum can be sensitive, especially if tightening is not done carefully.
In terms of maintenance, you may need to redo the female thread directly on the base from time to time. This repair can be carried out by yourself if you have the necessary equipment, or in a cycle repair shop or car garage. If you have a friend who does DIY, they might be able to help you too.
I would like to point out that this type of repair is not covered by the warranty. However, thread maintenance is a relatively simple procedure that you may need to perform from time to time.
