    Hi Pias, congrats on starting juggling. Keep at it. It's like riding a bike...takes a lot of practice to get the basics down, but once they come, you will really start to enjoy it. 20 years will go by and you will still be learning new stuff.

    Fellow New Englander here, from the beatiful flatlands of MA. Good luck with the balls. Before you know it, it will be clubs, fire, etc. :)

      Hey Guys, thanks alot for your helpful input, ive gone back to the one ball to get that down and then will pick up the two, so i dont get any bad habbits..... its all fun and worth all the time having a blast practicing......Yeah.. ive been looking at some clubs already ...... nothing like going for it.......
      Its always nice to see another fellow New Englander,,, thats cool.....
      I think ill practice for a bit longer before i go tearing up the fruit section of the grocery store... LOL id hate to have to buy a bunch of brused apples or oranges.. ;-) ill have to give it a try though when i can keep the balls in the air....... if i get cought,, ill tell them you told me to do it.......

        limes... they don't bruise. Trust me they are your friends... or get a set of hackey sacks or sacks full of beans (like the ones included in that book set) they are great they don't bruise or bounce... and they will last you for a good long time... through many a drop (voice of experience here) without breaking. Good luck and welcome to the addiction!

          Are you tryingto get me in trouble the next time i grocery shop?.... LOL ill definately check out the limes....maybe a couple of tomatoes too.....
          it sure is an addiction this juggling...... even the practicing and dropping of the balls.... its a really cool process and im finding it good for the mind as well... pretty calming and like meditation....
          how long have you been juggling?

    If I can make a suggestion... you say you are starting with two... you may be building bad habits all ready... you should look for this book...

    www.amazon.com/Juggling-C...339-2323605

    It's what got me started and now I can get thrown out of a the fruit section of just about any market...

    Enjoy and my god have mercy on your apples,

    J.

      That's the book I started on too! I must have used it back in 1983???? I remember it came with 3 solid bean bags. Plus dope illustrations as well
      :)

      I second that recommendation.
