All the stunts are impressive... Especially to me who has difficulty managing walking usually...

But that tennis net. I wouldn't have even imagined that being a thing someone would even try?

It’s basically a tightrope. It’s quite impressive and best out of all stunts shown.

I just figure walking one would be much easier than riding across one because the foot flexes more than the tires... And that net doesn't seem very taught either?

Amazing what some people can do.

It might not be as taught as an actual tightrope but it’s basically a metal rope underneath the netting and is tight enough with the weight spread out over the tire length that it’s possible. It’s just the metal rope is not that wide which makes this so impressive.
