Juggle bug anyone? Footbaggers?

[Flanny]

Any jugglers, poi enthusiasts, foot baggers, etc. abounding around?

wow no jugglers, foot baggers or otherwise eh? This is discouraging. Guess I'm going to have to try to get some straight razor kits together to sell to my juggling friends across the world so I won't be alone :p

Anyone interested in learning how to juggle or footbag or body hoop or poi or even yo-yo (serious yo-yo that is)?

Learned to do a basic 3-ball juggle in Phys Ed in H.S. I was really proud of myself afterward. Not sure how I could ever be coordinated enough to do anything other than that. Footbaggin', haven't done it in a long time but used to love it. I'll be teaching my son in a couple of years when he's old enough.

I taught myself 3 ball cascade at age 14. Didn't know that is what it was called. Taught myself an incorrect 2 ball pattern also and learned to switch between left 2 ball, 3 ball cascade, right 2 ball, enough to do a street performance then forgot about it for years. We didn't call it footbagging when I got into it but I guess it's an official sport now. My oldest son wanted a hobby so I showed him my limited juggling and next thing I know he's showing me everything I did wrong and telling me about the IJA, and now we do our own shows periodically, attend different juggling conventions, and my wife sells juggling bags to customers around the world. If we could make a decent profit from it that would be great. I'm a disabled veteran but I'm fabricating a belt/girdle contraption that should give me the strength I need to add in a few extra tricks, then I'm going to go street perform at different places and see if I can earn a few hundred dollars each month from street performances. :)

My oldest son is the serious juggler, having gotten to 12 balls before switching to artistic juggling. My oldest daughter seems to be the one to do the poi. My 2nd son is the yo-yo wiz and all of them seem to do body hooping to one degree or another.
