Ever wondered how to move fast from one end of a fully manned Viking ship to the other?
Here’s how!
See, nothing to it. Good balance – and perhaps a tiny bit of practice – is all you need. Probably also helps if you can swim and aren’t afraid to get wet.

Now, here’s a dare for you: Balance like a true Viking.
No, no, you don’t have to run from oar to oar off the side of a longship. I mean, who has a longship handy?
Find something to test you in a similar way. It could be a felled tree that you run along on, or the back of park bench. I’m sure you get the idea.
Go on! I dare you 🙂
