Jugglers?
I can get abbot 15 passes before I lose a ball. I have been practicing on and off for a year and I enjoy it.
Any one else juggle?

My favourite juggler scene is from Steve Martin's L.A. Story, where we see the juggler tossing several items, including a chainsaw. Every time he catches the chainsaw he gives the saw a rev. Seconds after the camera has panned past the juggler, we hear a scream in the background.

I'd rather be atop the foothills than beneath them.

-On getaway to the Olympic peninsula decades back we stayed across the road from the Flying Karamazov Brothers' compound. It looked like a great place to practice away from public attention. Their front entry featured an etched glass lintel bearing their slogan "Juglito Ergo Sum". Very nice.
Sums it up.

I can juggle three, including behind the back, under the leg, bouncing off walls and passing back and forth with another juggler. But I've never been able to juggle more than three, nor can I juggle pins.

I can do a few 3-ball routines, have managed to juggle clubs for a few passes, and have managed to juggle 4 clumsily.
When I lived in Alexandria, there was a local runner who did ALL the local races, including marathons, juggling 5 beanbags the whole way. He came to the track workouts I did, and juggled while doing repeats. He was pretty quick, too!

I used to be a pretty good juggler. A girlfriend I had in college taught me; we had a whole repertoire of partner tricks. Totally dysfunctional relationship, but man, we were the life of every party.

I got up to 4 balls and 3 clubs. I tried for a long time to get a 5-ball cascade
down, but never got very far. I just couldn't get the high throws accurate
enough. It's like riding a bike, though, I can pick up 3 balls and go right into
a cascade even after 2 years out of practice (though I probably couldn't
handle Mill's Mess until I practiced for a few weeks). I never got the hang of
passing.

He was in the race Sunday. I saw this guy juggling, maybe around mile 3, and thought that's interesting. Then I blurted out, "Holy sh!t, he's juggling five!" The other amazing thing is, with 20k+ people running, you really have to watch where you're going and you're getting bumped all the time. To run, juggle, and navigate your way through all those people for 4-6 hours is just amazing.MandoMark wrote:I can do a few 3-ball routines, have managed to juggle clubs for a few passes, and have managed to juggle 4 clumsily.

- Tell us something.: I used to be a regular then I took up the bassoon. Bassoons don't have a lot of chiff. Not really, I have always been a drummer, and my C&F years were when I was a little tired of the drums. Now I'm back playing drums. I mist the C&F years, though.

i learned form the Juggling for the Complete Klutz book. I can do three then two then three again. At least I could when I was in practice. I could also do a basketball, a softball and a tennis ball at the same time, which impressed my kids for about a year.
Coincidentally I tried the other day and I was awful. Gotta keep up the chops it seems.

I'm a pretty OK basic juggler - have been for about 25 years.
That's about the same as me.fearfaoin wrote:I got up to 4 balls and 3 clubs. I tried for a long time to get a 5-ball cascade
