Juggles

[shanmonster]

I'd like to teach myself how to juggle this summer. I'd also like to learn how to ride a unicycle (although not necessarily at the same time I'm learning to juggle), but I don't think unicycles come cheap. Ah well. Juggling seems like a good sport for a penniless pauper such as myself. And then, once I've figured out juggling, I can incorporate it into my fire dancing. Hmm....

Wow! Thanks for the pointers!

I'm hoping to practice during the summer. I did a lot of busking/training/practicing down in the historical part of town last year, and I expect I'll do the same this year, too. People can laugh at and support the struggling juggler, this year. Heh....

Nice. I can just picture you with a hat on the sidewalk, dancing, doing kung fu and juggling for the amusement/astonishment of the crowds. :)

When you get the juggling basics down i can probably manage to describe a few other basic patterns that look pretty cool without being too difficult. I can do most of the simpler tricks involving 3 balls, can do a few things with 4, and still dream about 5. So just drop me a line when you are ready for more and i'll shove some ideas your way.

I'm sure it's going to take me a while before I'm ready for that. I'm still trying to figure out combinations with my staff, and I started learning how to use that last year.

I need to learn how to use momentum to get the staff to spin around my torso and neck, and I also want to figure out how to roll it down one arm, across the back of my neck, and catch it in the other hand.

I have a busy summer ahead of me....
