  2. This should be in JC.

    Repost this there and let's let it die hear.

    ...unless you are talking specifically about riding and juggling
    simultaneously. I probably could, but I have no interest in it. I
    like them as separate activites.

    Ride everywhere and never just ride anywhere. If you can ride where you
    are going within a hour, do it, and if you can do a trick 50-75% of the
    time do it along the way.

    get much better and maybee turn pro one day.

  3. Juggling is a lot easier than riding a unicycle. If you can ride a
    unicycle, you can learn to juggle while doing it.

    If you want.

    What's much harder is doing it while idling!

  4. Or side hopping! Or for that matter, street unicycling and juggling at
    the same time!

  5. I can juggle balls and a bit of clubs while riding. I still have to
    learn to idle properly, so I can juggle while idling🙂

    The trick is to synchronise your juggling and idling rhythms, so that
    each pedal stroke corresponds to a throw. I find it easier to fine
    tune my idling rhythm (easy to do by moving the pedals through a
    greater or smaller distance) than my juggling rhythm.

    That said, I prefer devil stick to juggling when I'm on a unicycle.

    Three ball flash -> crankflip -> continue juggling...I could see that.
    I think Kevin M is the best juggler and street rider both, let's get
    him to try it!

  9. Indeed!

    i dont like to juggle and ride at the same time it isn't very fun or
    hard,
    but can and did in my village carnival parade recently, as it being
    fairly easy to do i became bored so i did some tricks to spice it up.
    e.g one foot ww and mills (a nice combo 😎 ) and gliding with the
    machine😄.

  10. Well, I'm quite a competent juggler, and quite a competent unicyclist.

    But when I try to combine those skills... it's a complete and utter
    mess. Anyone watching would think it was my first day trying both of
    them.

    That said, however, I don't try the two together very often at all. I
    see them as very different passtimes. I know that both have 'circus'
    connetations, which I dislike associating myself with, so maybe I avoid
    jugging whilst unicycling because of the double emphasis on clowning.

  11. I do both but not at the same time. It is easy and it makes ppl think
    think that im trying to be a clown, which is defently the last thing i
    want ppl to think when they see me.

    3 - Mountain bikers don't do it.
    4 - Enough concentration required to see and ride over the roots,
    stones and other things on the ground that turn road riding into muni
    riding.

    That reminds me of something I try every few years, when I think about
    it. I guess it's time for me to start trying again.

    I'm quite a competent face balancer and quite a competent unicyclist.
    But when I try to balance a club on my nose (or even something longer,
    like a devil stick) and ride a unicycle at the same time, I just can't
    do it.

    Balancing a club on a finger while riding a unicycle is no problem.
    The real difficulty is the fear that kicks in when I try to lean my
    head far enough back, while on a unicycle, to balance something on my
    nose.

  15. I can do it with balls and a little with clubs but I don't see the
    point, really. It's only good if you're performing and even so, while
    interesting a sight for the first 20 seconds, it gets tired (and
    tiring) fast.
