I went for a bike ride last weekend and met Tony Flowers aka Ynot @ Oak street Beach. Tony has been juggling for somewhere in the neighborhood of 30 years. He got his start in high school playing baseball when one of his buddies taught him the basics. Juggling has taken him from Louisiana to Hawaii and back to Chicago. If you see Tony stop by and say hello; he might even teach you a few tricks.

You can see some videos of Tony here.
