Top 10 HARDEST Juggling World Records to Beat

[@Eivind_Dragsjo]

If you're interested in seeing what world records I consider the easiest to beat, I would recommend watching this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oWHYnneBeplnnrs

[@nicodisimone6428]

This is genuinely one of the most interesting KZbin videos I have ever seen

I was laughing watching all of the honorable mentions because I was expecting you to list your 9 club WR as the most difficult. You certainly could've done that as a joke (not that it isn't difficult but it's your list and you have the 9 club WR so it would be funny). Also, if anyone reading this comment has not seen Anthony Gatto's To Be The Best 3 DVD, I highly encourage you to watch it. At one point in the DVD he says that he gets 200 or 300 catches with 9 balls in practice EVERY DAY (it's during the 9 ball section of the video, I think)! It's too bad he didn't really challenge himself on some of the world records. He surely could have gone much longer on many of them. Anyway, thanks for the video Eivind.

[@Eivind_Dragsjo]

Hahaha!! It would be quite funny if I did so!

[@peterboneg]

Good video. The thumbnail really caught my attention as I scrolled through my feed! I do think that 9 clubs should be in there somewhere though. You're too humble.

[@Eivind_Dragsjo]

I personally put that at #16 out of 30!😅Thanks a lot!

[@juliuspreu4881]

I think Moritz Rosner might break the 9 Club WR...

This was a great watch! Thanks for putting in so much effort!

[@Eivind_Dragsjo]

Glad you liked it Zak! I think it agreed quite nicely with your 7 club world record progression video!

[@raulcanaz5616]

Thanks for do this Eivind! Juggling world deserve videos like this one.💯😀👌

[@ramseyjames]

I think Gatto’s ten ring record will be quite the challenge for a while, as the ten ball record only just passed it. (Great video btw)

[@Triathlonjuggler]

Gatto’s WRs are the GOAT of WRs. 7c WR was a fitting #1 choice. His 9b and 9 ring also.

[@benceonodi291]

Thank you for this awesome colection!!!

[@juggledave]

Nice video :) I would just like to add that maybe 6ish years ago I practiced with Alex and watched him make 17 throws with 13 in a catchable pattern at least 4 times. 13 could definitely be beaten if the right strength based juggler was practicing!

[@NinoWassmer]

Wow seeing that just reminded me how far Gatto was from all the other number jugglers. I personally think a lot of those records will be really hard to beat as juggling is opening to a lot more possibilities and ways of being seen/practiced. So less people practicing that kind of thing. But I'm pretty confident those records will be beaten one day. Especially by the fact that it is still something people love to do. Numbers will never get old.

[@Eivind_Dragsjo]

That's actually a really good point! I don't think high number juggling is as hard to motivate yourself into as "high, but not as high" numbers juggling, if that makes sense. Doing a flash of 11 balls makes it so that you can say to have juggled 11 balls. Doing 200 compared to 100 catches of 8 balls doesn't seem as impactful as one more ball, even though it should be.

[@hutchmusician]

The distance between Gatto and everyone else who ever lived is just mind-boggling. I've qualified eight balls on my best days, but there's a superhuman elite level of juggling that I cannot even dream of approaching. The people in that level must feel about Gatto the way I feel about all of them.

[@xavier5128]

Woww ! Great video ! Very humble to not have put yourself with your 9 clubs record 😆🔥

[@mathteacher1729]

Thank you Eivind! Your videos are always engaging and thoughtful and clearly presented. Personal reflection -- I remember watching those Gatto videos from the early 2000s. If I recall, he did not specifically train to break any world records. Paraphrasing: Gatto was somewhat frustrated by young people posting videos of one single impressive trick, that they tried to do 100x, and filmed once. His claim was that you couldn't "do" a trick unless you had it rock solid. And so he went ahead and posted these insanely long runs as a means of demonstrating what he meant. The absolutely mind-blowing thing is, Gatto could so effortlessly put records out of reach for an entire generation (and counting) across all three classical props: balls, rings, and clubs. Request - I think it would be interesting to chart record progression for high-level numbers jugglers relative to their age. Gatto was 32 in 2005. My hypothesis (unfounded, just thinking out loud) is that numbers jugglers reach their record peaks in their early 20s because that's when those fast-twitch muscles are at their absolute prime. After that technique makes up for wear and tear and age-related muscle degradation (relative to absolute physical peak).

[@Eivind_Dragsjo]

Interesting thought! One could probably get some cool data from looking into that!

[@ИванБурков-с4ч]

Gatto - still the best in the world even after almost 30 years when I got into the world of juggling!!!

[@sirojottag2570]

Very good vidéo. You have done a great Job i think you are totaly right 👍 Gatto it's untuchable 👍 Thanks you very much.

Eivind: These records are incredibly difficult to beat Some guy's uncle who can juggle 25 balls: Hold my beer

[@mathteacher1729]

"The guy who resurfaced my concrete can juggle better than you." 😁

There's always that uncle!

[@hughsymons95]

Love these videos Eivind! Out of curiosity where did you rank Ofek's 5 ball world record?

[@Eivind_Dragsjo]

I ranked it as #19 out of 30. I think that is quite fair. If anything a bit higher up.

[@alexpi7511]

that was interesting, thank you! do you know why Ofek stopped juggling?

[@Eivind_Dragsjo]

Yes, I do know. There are multiple reasons. If you want to hear specifics about it you can watch this documentary. A great watch!

[@steveyo1]

Sorry so late to seeing this. I would love to see the entirety of your list.

[@juggledave]

@@charlesjuggler I think the Barron and Gatto WRs all have that mystical feeling to them; both set by huge outliers who were clearly talented and also had insane conditioning through life to achieve what they did. I don't know Gatto but at least Alex's upbringing seems pretty perfect to be strong and it shows when you look at his juggling vs even other top jugglers like Tom. I do agree with Evind though, I think we are more likely to get a genetic freak that breaks Alex's records than someone who is talented and can grinded out Gatto's (and even then that person will surely never hold all the records like Gatto did).

[@benspencer8783]

[@nicodisimone6428]

Everyone can learn a lesson in life from the Alex Barron part

[@apolloreinard7737]

Humbling and fascinating at the same time. At least I can juggle a few patterns with three balls of various weights. I'm maybe ahead of 80% of the world population.. that's a good enough record for me. :) and the focus calms me plenty. Gatto must be so chill.

[@jackthejuggler]

What about the 8 ring record?

[@Eivind_Dragsjo]

The 8 ring record is really good, but I don't think it qualifies for the top 10

[@филос]

Records Broken as of March 26 2023: 11 balls

[@ts214121]

Is this true that a cycle refers to a flash? I thought the minimal qualifying run was a cycle because the balls are back in the hands were they started.

[@Eivind_Dragsjo]

Yes, a cycle refers to a flash. I understand the confusion though, since with 3, 5, 7… balls they have to go back and forth to be in their starting position. But with 4, 6, 8… they don’t go back and forth. So technically you could argue that a cycle with odd numbers is a qualify and a cycle with even numbers is a flash. But for the sake of making it easy, both a flash with even and odd numbers is refered to as a cycle. The word cycle is also better understood by non-jugglers, which were some of the people that I tried to reach this video with. I hope that made sense. Eivind

[@tartiflettefontaine2473]

5 balls should have been on the list...

Gatto is probably 30% better than the second-best numbers juggling who ever lived. Whoever that is.
