There’s two parts to learning Cyr wheel: spins and manipulations. I still can’t spin worth a damn, but I love doing manipulations with the wheel. It’s the most interesting flow toy/juggling prop I’ve ever played with. It’s got so much weight and momentum. Super fun to play with.
Some photos of my grandfather in the 1940s from a family album. First pic, he’s the guy in black leather fixing the bike. Second pic, he’s riding with his cousin & lifelong best friend on the back. Third pic is with my grandma, American Motorcycle Association patch on her jacket. #vintagecool
Cyr wheel definitely has a learning curve! But the manipulation skills transfer a little easier from other circus stuff. Been really fun to play with, but I probably need a wheel better sized for my hobbit-self! 🤣
