You step onto the board beside a quiet bike path outside Arras, the hum of the single wheel underfoot like a contained gust of wind. A guide steadies the board, gives a short explanation, and the first lean forward turns a hesitant breath into forward motion. Within half an hour most riders find their balance; after that the countryside opens up in new lines — tracks through copses, compacted gravel, and flat towpaths that dare you to carve clean arcs.
