• Take smaller steps outwards and inwards.

• Place a bean bag on your head while playing.
• When you hear "Up, up and away", try lifting both feet up at the same time and see how long you can balance for. Keep your knees bent and lifted upwards. Balance for as long as possible with the bike still stationary.
