tried some passing between me idling on the giraffe and an earthbound partner and managed six passes with six clubs
(clean finish and stylish dismount)
and 4 passes passing seven clubs (severely lacking a clean finish and a stylish dismount)
following some advice i read on a thread quite a while ago, i’ve been practising idling with my arms folded to get used to idling without using my arms for balance
thanx to whoever posted that
it works
solo juggling on the raffie is up to a best of 28 throws with three clubs
Since anything can happen I’m not nearly ready to concede the race to 100 catches while idling. Nevertheless I must say that I’ve been spending way too much time twirling hats and too little working on my crappy idling.
my juggling getting better on the uni.
now i’m trying to ride around whilst juggling. the change from idling to riding and back is the bit that always gets me.
and now i seek the holy grail of doing a kick up mount whilst juggling.
its not happening yet.
i did it while passing last week, the easy way,
my passing partner just doest a couple of throws in four club and i kickup during the gap.
we managed to do it in 4 count with the other guy doing a geld so we go down to 5 club for a beat.
There’s a video of my first attempt at giraffe juggling. I was really really
pleased with it.
Hey and don’t listen to my dad’s claims that he managed 5 club catches on
his unicycle: it was only 4 catches, and then 5 objects hit the ground!!
Sorry dad, the truth had to be said.!
at the public show of last years swiss juggling convention there was a guy balancing a table spoon on his forehead while juggling 5 balls.
While doing so, he approached his unicycle, did a kickup mount and continued his juggling and his balancing.
That was really impressive!
… and yes, even Joe Public noticed that this must have been really difficult

and when u manipulate three hats around your head while idling your raffie, my juggling next door is going to pale in comparison
i’m jealous, gotta get back to doing contact on the uni…
