Guinness World Record #2 , For The Paddle Ball King
Ok,I know it's not juggling, but it is my blog, and if I want to mention something exciting in my life, I will do it here, even if it is just peripherally related to juggling.
As some of you may know, and even participated in, I organized an attempt for a Guinness World Record for "The Most People Controlling Paddle Balls At The Same Time" back in Sept. 3, 2011.

We set the record at 356, held it for almost 5 months and then they beat it with 412. Kind of sucks to find out about winning a record at the same time as finding out that you no longer hold it! Oh well, I guess that's life in the realm of World Records, I guess. The best thing I can do is attempt to beat it and reclaim my/our record. I have already put the wheels in motion for this to happen. I have applied for and received Guinness' approval for a certified attempt to beat the newly establishes record and reclaim it for its rightful owners. Here is a link to a news story on this...
