I know this is a bit off the subject… but it involves something else
which requires balance, and is at least sold by semcycle
Does anyone know where to find some info on freestanding laddres? I am
considering purchasing one that I might learn to use it, but don’t know
what’s out there.
thanks, jeff lutkus

try the aussie company Juggleart for ladders:
but i’d like to know: will ordinary ladders do? can you just use one that you get from a regular hardware store?

Besides at Semcycle you can also find Balance Ladders at
http://www.showtimejuggling.net/ (click Circus Equipment) in the
Netherlands, also the home country of Semcycle BTW. Last year I ordered a
20" unicycle from Showtime; delivery was prompt (in the Netherlands) and
quality OK.
“To trigger/fool/saturate/overload Echelon, the following has been picked
automagically from a database:” “cocaine, gun, Grigori Tomtsjin”
On my 20" or 24", it’s sidewalk if one’s available.
On the coker, it depends on pedestrian traffic. If the sidewalk is empty,
I ride on it. If I am in an area where I am likley to encounter
pedestrians, I’ll ride on the road.
In general, though, the places I ride are either cycle/foot paths with no
nearby road, or on a road with no accompanying sidewalk. Of coures, I tend
to try to ride on the less-traveled country roads, even if that takes
longer than the more direct, but heavily traveled city street.
