That's good. I could make only 5 or 6 steps on those. Logging chains are even harder. Taught cables are easy.
Here's one to try: do your stances and circle walking on a sheet of plywood supported on the shoulders of 4 to 6 slaves (or students/training partners if you have them). As they get tired they'll shift around a bit.
When I was doing lion dance in San Fran my sifu had the head player jump up onto a carpeted sheet of 4'X4' plywood held by 4 students. The lion would continue to dance while the platform was carried through the park over uneven ground. It was harder to coordinate steps under the platform than it was to balance on top.
