I never thought such a skill could be that popular worldwide. But I was proved wrong. Rock ballancing is not just a hobby, it’s an art or a discipline. Arranging the rocks to balance requires great attention and devotion. It might appear impossible but many people have managed to do it. There are 3 styles of balancing rocks: pure balance, where each rock is in near-point balance, balanced stacking, where the rocks sits flat one on the other to great height and free style, which is a combination of the two. Here is a demo of how rock balancing looks like.

By the way, Julio, its a better use of your time than wasting away your life on the internet or in front of a t.v. like so many people do today. Posted by B | May 19th, 2008 11:56 am The ‘artists’ listed are guys who balance rocks. big deal. Take a look at andy goldsworthy if you want to see a real artist doing this and so much more http://images.google.com/images?client=opera&rls=en&q=andy goldsworthy&sourceid=opera&ie=UTF-8&oe=utf-8&um=1&sa=N&tab=wi Posted by Dawson Colvert | May 19th, 2008 2:55 pm I think your rock balancing acts are great. These seem to be real masterpieces. Do you wear steel toe boots? I bet you have hit your foot many times while building it up. I am a professional Stone carver, I can appreciate the time it takes to build structures out of stone, Have you ever thought of topping it off with some carved stone faces or symbols carved into the rocks. Heres a fact , What makes a Rock into a Stone?= One saw cut. Once you saw a piece of Rock it becomes a stone.

But I was proved wrong. Spelling the word “balancing” correctly is not just a hobby, it’s an art or a discipline. Posted by Link Virus Top Ten « Cool Aggregator | May 19th, 2008 6:16 pm [...] 4.

There is one more style ( not mentioned in the introductory words) called Counter-Balancing, which uses the force of gravity not only to balance each rock but to keep all the rocks balanced in on single system of forces. It is probably the most difficult style and it comes natural with time as the artist practices along his works.
