what am i doing its 3:04 AM and i cant even juggle 3 balls

[@snowfloofcathug]

You got this! I believe in you :) I can point you in the direction of kzbin.info/www/bejne/aIi1oqOsi72AZs0 or kzbin.info/www/bejne/mnS8dY16ociCbMk

[@Derekki]

its 02.54 but close enought id say.

[@evanpatterson6998]

Have you learned to juggle yet?

[@TerriProductions]

lmao. Its 3 AM for me

[@jamesbohnenkamp925]

it took me a week of total dedication and i only punched myself in the stomach about 100 times, try using hackey sacks to learn with, they wont roll away when you drop them, also kneel on the floor and try bouncing them off a wall, another good practice is to just hold 3 objects and continuously move them around in your hands, 1,2,3,1,2,3, utilizing the free space you have, it feels like braiding hair

[@n.w.aicecube5713]

Imagining to collect 14 balls in the ground ....these guys have a great reason to keep those balls in air

[@hutchmusician]

Gatto’s records will eventually be broken, but there has never been, and will never be, another juggler so far ahead of his generation, so far ahead of the rest that he makes it look like witchcraft even to other top-flight jugglers. He showed the rest of us what was possible for the whole of his career.

[@skeffmaestro]

Not only that, the stuff he did in private training was significantly better that what he did in public, and when he did make videos, he didn't do tons of takes. Never stopped improving either.

[@derekmaggard9235]

If only he'd given siteswaps a chance.

[@juha2031]

So few people actually juggle so i think there will be as awesome juggler someday :)

[@hutchmusician]

Derek Maggard Can you imagine what he might have achieved? Mind you like all of us he had blind spots: he famously couldn’t throw flats (ie clubs thrown without any spin, before anyone asks) which is pretty much a basic skill for most jugglers. But what he could do, he did better than anyone else could dream of.

[@ZachGatesHere]

What's funny is that Gatto was, early on, criticized for "artless" juggling. Because his routines focused on high numbers rather than the performance with them. A lot of his contemporaries and older performers disliked that he would put all this effort into gym efforts and numbers over crafting an intricate show. Now he's seen as a throwback to artistic juggling in contrast with the WJF.

[@carlalaporta8263]

The 2 hours straight juggling is very impressive!!!!!!

[@DanielSimu]

Great video! My favourite record is 7 rings 15 minutes. Casually done in front of a non circus audience, clean finish at exactly 15m after a perfect 5up pirouette. The longest run of 7 objects ever, and he showed (much better than in his ball record imo) that he could have gone so much longer if he wished...

[@furlisht]

The background for every record and the insight are really interesting! Thank you!

[@billbizolbrisch9365]

What a great video, Luke! Great context on some key events and I'm having trouble arguing with your list.

[@castlewood2215]

I’d drop as soon as I tried dropping a load in the diaper, if not squeezing it out having to stand and juggle in my own stank! Not a snowballs chance in hell a poopy nappy doesn’t make drop

[@satishtalnikar6397]

Truly amazing! Anthony Gatto is a name to reckon with. He has some extra ordinary skill of juggling. Tha nka for presenting such a nice collection!!!

What a brilliant. Simple and informative video. Thanks.

[@philippshipman6923]

Great video- thanks!

[@tomjuggles]

This summary is so good, I'd love to show that to any new juggler/interested person in order to make them understand how much of a sport juggling has become :)

Magnificent, as always.

[@kickmonlee3390]

Juggling 11 for 33 was my most impressive one, but the marathon ones are amazing in an endurance manner. Please do feet juggling world records!

I was gonna make a juggling joke... but I dropped the ball.

[@panimbryk]

Great video!!

[@kcvetterli4136]

I like the clean finish at the end of Gatto's 7 clubs. Just in case it's ever broken, there will always be an asterisk by the record knowing Gatto could have continued for lord knows how long.

[@jiogcyihsugyiocjfdoivhphvw6821]

no there wont be an asterisk, drunkard

[@sathearn]

Gatto's five clubs for forty five minutes in 1989, during the same two day period during which he set half a dozen records in total, and also ending with a priouette and clean finish (after Nick's instruction, "Okay, bring 'em in") also should be mentioned. I was there. Was it not recorded on video?

[@gthourne]

Great video! How did it take YT a year to recommend it? Was still a blast. Good choices for the list and loved the comments too!

[@juggletiff125]

very nice round up, thanks for making it. i wonder if we have seen the start of a split where people are now choosing to concentrate on either the sprint or the marathon, making it more like the track events at the olypmics where its normal to compete in one or two races, rather than in swimming where its easier to compete in many different lengths. and people are concentrating more on one stroke in swimming (one prop) rather than all 3 props like his lordship gatto of juggleton.

[@plowestv]

Wonderful Luke :-)

[@cramreiensch]

great great great video!

[@CDTaRo]

I have never searched for this video

[@jontiruell1934]

7 clubs for 4:24 with another clean finish, I wouldn't be surprised if Gatto could go quite a bit longer if there had been someone close to him to push him

[@alexeim1966]

In that training session Gatto broke several records. In the 1950s the experts said no one could run a 4 minute mile. Then a racer did. After that, many more runners ran a 4 minute mile. Enrico Rastelli started a new style in the 1920s. Then jugglers like Francis Brunn carried on that tradition. Anthony Gatto bounced a ball on his head during his most difficult tricks. Just like Rastelli.

[@thejugglingriotguy]

0:56 there is actually one other person that has beaten Alex’s record twice... Alex Barron

[@JamesGowan]

Gatto’s 7 clubs is tops! I met him a couple of times. I was selling shirts at IJA in 1995 and asked him “how much to sign 2 dozen shirts?” And just asked to have one of each kind I had (3 shirts). Afterward when I had to reduce my shirts to cost to sell them ($5), the signed ones went for $25! He helped me break even!

[@Mizar88]

[@thomasleifseth5201]

realy so well made like a pro documentary

Great selection and commentary. I was there for the 6 ring record and had no idea it would last so long. Bruce Tiemann is pronounced Teeman not Tyeman btw.

Anthony Gatto is the boy born with juggling clubs in his hands.

Well, he was indeed pushed from an early age. I once saw an MC (falsely) assert "I'd be as good as Anthony, too, if I could get my father to pick up my drops"

[@chandir7752]

6:33 that right there is a record that I don't think will be broken by anybody within the next 100 years - except maybe by Alex himself.

[@OUTSIDER40]

This was interesting 🤹

[@francescoboni4655]

Thanks for the video, I got a question: why sometimes it's good to talk about catches and other times it's good to talk about temporal duration? Thanks in advance 😉

[@lukeburrage]

At lower catch counts, the height of the throws has a huge impact, so to get a longer record with, say 12 balls, you could just throw the last ball way higher. The the record could be broken by fractions of a second. It's better to have a discrete event to count, and catches works better. Once records get past a minute, the chances are they will be broken by more time than the length of a single throw and catch. for long endurance records, it's better to let jugglers juggle at their natural pace, rather than juggle faster to get more throws in. And nobody wants to count the throws in an hour-long record, just like nobody wants to count the steps in a marathon.

[@francescoboni4655]

@@lukeburrage Thanks for the explanations, have a nice day ;)

[@moonlight5050]

Has Anthony Gatto ever been interviewed about retiring...? He's an absolite legend and just stopped and vanished from juggling. I understand stopping after so long as anybody could get bored if you've dedicated youself to one skill for so long, but he just vanished 🤔🤔

[@jontiruell1934]

He took up concreting full time I think. My impression is that he didn't really have the greatest relationship with the rest of the juggling community being disdainful of what he views as ugly tricks and records which were a 'lucky' run after thousands of attempts. He also disliked that his skill level was under appreciated by non jugglers who tend to view juggling as a circus activity and can't really understand or appreciate the immense skill and training that goes into the stuff top level jugglers can do. This and I think neck pain from juggling meant he just decided to retire and distance himself from juggling all at once I think

[@cooperstacey9899]

I think the 6 club WR should be included in this. Anthony Gatto's record of 7 minutes and 38 seconds.

[@lukeburrage]

It's too similar to his 7 club record. Also, someone broke an earlier 6 club record of Gatto's and he reclaimed the record shortly after. Nobody managed to improve on any of Gatto's 7 club records before him.

@@lukeburrage How many of the other WRs you mentioned were broken by more than one person? And the 7 ball record was Anthony's then Thorsten Borucha broke it, Anthony reclaimed it and then Ofek Snir broke it.
