The Road to the X-Games comes to Boise this Friday and Saturday, June 15th and 16th. ESPN will be on site and it’ll be intense with some serious skateboarding and BMX skills on display as the competitors attempt to qualify for the X-games finals.
On Saturday morning at 9:30 AM I’m on the schedule to give a half hour juggling performance culminating in a Guinness World Record attempt. It is likely the most physically challenging attempt with an element of danger involved. The record is for “Most consecutive axe juggling catches”. The current record stands at 604 catches. I have been lifting weights and juggling bowling balls for months. The long lead-time on this one was the 2-year search for axes (I wanted the minimum weight allowed by Guinness. These are not hatches, they’re about 3 times as heavy).
I invite you to come out and watch the attempt and then stick around for the competition, the live music, and the great atmosphere. There will be roads closed so you’ll likely need to park and walk or park and shuttle. The event is free and open to the public.
June 16th also happens to be World Juggling Day and I can think of no better way to celebrate than by breaking a juggling Guinness World Record.
nice
