Ian Stewart in Vegas
I spent the last week in beautiful Las Vegas. I had time for a lot of fun, food, exercise and shows! My go to is Absinthe which I watched for the 3rd time. Always a great show, but was sad that Melody Sweets had moved onto other things (you can still find here here: http://www.melodysweets.com). If you’re ever in Vegas and looking for a fun show, this is a good show, Sweets or not! http://www.absinthevegas.com/
When I arrived home I checked the mail and found that Guinness World Records had sent me certificates for 2 more chainsaw juggling world records! I have a few more records I’ve broken awaiting approval from Guinness, but I’m getting closer to my goal of 12 records. They don’t list the 2 records on the website, but they are both records for chainsaw juggling. One is for a record while juggling one chainsaw and 2 balls, and the other is a record for juggling 3 chainsaws.
I have a few more chainsaw juggling records to break, however in my mind the only true world record with chainsaw juggling is the record for the most throws and catches while juggling 3 chainsaws. All others pale in comparison. Guinness has recently put on their site that they are accepting a record for the longest duration for juggling 3 saws. My record for most throws and catches took approximately 37 seconds. The longest duration must take at least a minute to qualify. But I do find this record appealing.
I recently acquired some new lighter saws from a friend overseas. Using his lightweight handles I have plans to break the time record, and smash my existing 3 chainsaw throws and catches record at the same time.
Even though I consider the most catches of a chainsaw and 2 balls to be the only record that matters, I still enjoy breaking other records, just for personal achievement.
Here is a link to my existing record with 3 chainsaws, the one that I’m most proud of: http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/most-chainsaw-juggling-catches
