When you first step on the balance board, it will automatically detect your center of balance and set that as the neutral point in terms of steering and doing manuals. If you find it’s not working out for you, resetting is a simple matter of stepping off and getting right back on. When you’ve found a foot position that suits your needs, you can steer by leaning left or right. It’s not complicated, but at this stage, it’s a bit tough to balance between sharp and gradual turns. We’re told that Black Box is hard at work tuning this aspect of the controls and is attempting to find that ideal point of compromise such that the board delivers responsive turns but doesn’t react to every incidental shift in movement you might make whenever your legs get a little sore.
