> I taught myself in junior high

I had a class in junior high where we had time each day to mess around with juggling.

I got good at the balls and then got pretty good at the bowling pins things (not as heavy but same shape).

I could do 5 pins for a decent amount of time. It felt really good when I was in the groove of the flow, the arc, the spin and the sequence.

I tried 7 pins and was pretty excited to get a cycle or two successfully.
