Hey NS, I thought it would be helpful to make a thread about some solid off-mountain exercises to do to to improve your balance. What helps you guys the most? Thanks and happy shredding!
 
i had one of these during my physio after having an acl reconstruction operation. it was great, and they are not expensive.

Just got a few-do board for Christmas from EMS. It's so fun to fool around on. When I watch TV in my basement, I'm always on this thing. Tis the shiz
 
My Indo board. I love it, but haven't used it in a LONG time now. I used to watch TV and play PS3 while standing on it, and could do all kinds of tricks. Now, I don't have enough room for it.

slackline, and its super easy to make a homemade balance board. just take a skate deck and a 2 liter bottle, fill the bottle and tape the cap shut. they can be pretty fun cause you can do tricks and massive presses.
 
For physio they got me to stand one foot on a semi-dense foam pad that at home I substituted with a pillow. Then I would throw and catch heavy things, bounce something on a wall and catch it, or close my eyes and hold a heavy object away from my body and move it around in different places.
 
Skate deck and two liter bottle of water. One legged squats and one legged Good mornings. Then move into balanced one legged weight training with dumbbells. Its all about the one legged shit. Get a BOSU ball, turn it upside, and do one legged bulgarian squats, good mornings, deadlifts, and squats on it with weight. I can get up to 60 on one leg, but its hard as hell to keep good balance for productive lifts. Practice without weight on a balance board first. If you can do 10 one legged squats in a row without falling, then your ready to move to weight. Anymore questions, pm me. I got all kinds of ideas.
