"This is Sean from Expert Village. In this clip we're going to talk about a good easy way to practice your hang 5 balance without actually doing it yet.

The longer you can get that balance down. the better it will end up being. If you want to you can also get up there and hop a little bit, just like this. That will also help you kind of learn where your balance point is. Your balance point is where you are actually doing a trick is going to change a little bit forward and little bit backwards.
