Walking on stilts is really fun once you learn how to!  You just have to be patient and confident in yourself.  While you're doing it you may fall, but keep on trying no matter what!  Anyone can do it.  I'm thirteen and I can do all sorts of tricks on them!  It's simple! Read and follow these steps carefully so you don't get hurt!

  1. 1
    Put your arms through and around, then you grab.  This helps you keep your control over those big poles.
  2. 2
    Start on the stairs.  The second step is the best step to start on.  You don't just jump on them.  You need to go one foot at a time.  You will fall, but since you are already typically standing up, you'll just fall right on you feet!
  3. 3
    Walk one foot at a time, and never EVER stop walking, or you'll just lose your balance and fall. Once you've got the hang of it, try getting on them without the stairs, one foot at a time, and then hop on them!
