I've juggled clubs on and off for the last 10 years.

My parents got me them for Christmas because I couldn't stop figgiting with things. Turned out great!

It also helps me to clear my mind and reduce stress...

I haven't juggled much since I started unicycling, but at one time I could do five reasonably well, qualify six most of the time, and seven about one in twenty times. I've even flashed eight a few times. My best achievments with clubs were about sixty catches with four, and forty solid backcrosses with three. I used to do a lot of diabolo, also. I've juggled knives, but not torches.

I can juggle on the unicycle pretty well. I've qualified five while idling one-footed, and even briefly juggled clubs during stand-up wheel walk.

Juggling is great, just not as much fun as unicycling.

i can juggle 4-ball, and some of those 3-ball patterns that cause mild annoyance when not given their due superiority to 4-ball by non-jugglers (box, shuffle etc). recently learned 3-club juggling, but not too confident yet.

i can juggle while unicycling forwards, but am yet to get good enough at idling to combine them. in fact, could anyone tell me how long they were idling before they could juggle with it?

I'm kind of wondering the same thing myself as I have been able to juggle for 2 years (mostly 2 & 3 balls/bags with lots of tricks) and I can Idle pretty good but I can't get the hang of doing the two together either.

It takes you about as long as it'll take you to learn to seperate what your hands and legs are doing.
They need to be entirely independant and you must not try to juggle in time with your idling.
Using mini-stillstands while juggling-idling helps.
Practising idling with your arms folded in front of your chest is a good way to practise the idle without having your arms to wave around for balance.

Juggling while idling is one that will pay off if you put your time in. You may want to wear some pads.

I have not been able to achieve this, but since idling is basically a 1-foot activity, you could lift a leg and throw a club under that leg while idling.

You could also try throwing a club under that leg while riding forward 1-footed. It's quite impressive.

I know you (probably) won't listen but I have to ask:
Please stop with the fire-breathing.
You're causing irreperable damage to your teeth and your lungs.
According to this article,

Quote:
fire breathers also risk several other immediate and long-term health effects, including:
  • Skin irritation
  • Dry mouth
  • Gum disease
  • Stomach ulcers
  • Poisoning
  • Chemical pneumonia or acute respiratory distress
Everybody I've ever known who have done it for a long time have lost a lot of their teeth.
It's just not worth it.
