Helene Multiball Contact Juggling
Flickr doesn’t have a contact juggling pool (yet…hint, hint), but it does have an Acrylic balls pool started by Mikaaaa. where we found this great shot of French multiballer LN/Helene by Thoùm from Bordeaux.
Google, as ever is pretty terrible for images, but searching Flickr for Contact Juggling Images yields more results.

Play Juggling – New Sil-X 100mm Contact balls

Saturday, March 29th, 2008

0028.jpgNews Flash:
Play Juggling just phoned us to announce that the new Sil-X 100mm is now in production.

The Ministry are super excited about these as we were involved in their development, and had the first 2 pre-production prototypes in November.
Drew developed his dream ball, then handed it over to J9 and Ed for testing and refinement.*

Review coming soon, but the pre-review says: Buy one. If you are into 1 ball contact juggling especially body rolling, this thing can double your consistency!

*Nope, we don’t get any money for it, but, like you we do get to play contact with a lovely ball.
