unicycling and juggling question

I am an accomplished unicyclist (34 years) but a beginner at juggling clubs
(34 days).

How good should I get at juggling three clubs before I attempt to juggle while
unicycling?

Steps:

  1. All black eyes from the initial learning of the clubs should be healed.

  2. Juggle the clubs while walking.

  3. Make turns and move around while walking.

  4. Do it while riding forward.

  5. Learn to turn.

  6. Juggle in a bunch of parades (find out how the crowd reacts more when
    you pick one up from the ground without a dismount, than they do when
    you juggle).

  7. With lots more practice, jugggle while rocking.

No time like the present! You might find that trying to juggle while on the uni
speeds up the juggling learning curve.

I think about 7.

In other words, think about the question you’re asking… :slight_smile:

Re: unicycling and juggling question

Sorry, I cant really answer your problem as i have a question of my own
:slight_smile:

I can juggle, but how good should I be at unicycling before i attempt
unicycling while juggling.

I guess the answer is when you discover you >can< do it.

It’s not as if I’m any kind of expert, but it depends how comfortable the
juggling part is. If juggling part is at a “barely hanging on” stage, you
probably won’t do much more than satisfy your curiosity concerning whether
unicycling makes juggling more difficult.

As far as the juggling is concerned, it should be at the point that you don’t
have to maintain complete and total attention over it in order to keep it going,
but if you can unicycle in your sleep, then maybe it doesn’t matter.

Personally, I’m at the “wave my arms and twist my butt to keep my balance while
idling” stage of unicycling. I can juggle while unicycling forwards in a
straight line, but I’m really more interested in idling in place and juggling.

Isn’t that a far more difficult trick than juggling?

Actually, the audience realizes that it’s the perfect opportunity to show their
admiration- in the break between the action. The same thing often happens in
practically any performance. Of course, as a juggler, it’s not the greatest
feeling to be picking up a dropped club while the audience is applauding.
