You could try using one of those large exercise balls. I dont know if you can do cruches on them but you can do other various exercises for your stomach/abs area.

You don;t necessarily HAVE to do crunchies, there are alternatives, lifting weights. A good one also is to lie down flat on your back and slowly raise your loeges without bending them, this helps tone your stomach muscles in the same way.
