As if juggling right-side up wasn’t hard enough, Erik Kloeker set a new world’s record for upside down juggling. The record now stands at five minutes, breaking his previous record of 4:05.
Here is a video of last year’s 4:05 second record breaker. I haven’t found video of today’s record breaker yet. Comment if you have a link, please.
Ok, it’s only one object in the air at a time, so it might technically be just tossing, not juggling, but it’s got to be a pretty good workout.
The kettle bell juggling blog says that bell weighs 16 kg/35 pounds.
As I’ve mentioned before, one of my reasons for blogging was to give myself a place to track progress. Which also gives other people learning someone to compare themsleves to. I have no idea whether I’m learning fast, or incredibly slowly. (Past experience suggests slowly).
Today, I’ve managed to do a three ball palmspin in both hands, in both directions. It’s not smooth, and I still tend to drop. It’s also very clicky, but I’m working on that.
I can palmspin two balls in either direction touching, in either hand. Both hands at once just worked after I got the individual hands. I can also palm spin two balss both directions, both hands, without letting the balls touch. But I’m nowhere near as good with that. They still click one time out of four, or so. Less if I’m really careful, so I’m trying to be really careful.
I tried a four ball pyramid a few times, but haven’t successfully completed even one step. (One step = 1/3 of a revolution, if the base is three balls).
