John, Thankyou very much for your reply.. I'm pretty sure I saw the
picture you are reffering to at the JIS picture gallery.. The next time
our juggling group meets at our campus's recreational facility.. I'll
see if I can arrange something.. I think I could carry 2*140 pound
dumbells without too much difficulty.. and then I could work at carrying
a brave soul on my shoulders at the same time.. anyways.. once I try it
I'll let you know how it goes.. later

  O      very hard to to idle and next to impossible to coast!
\/Y\/    On the plus side, the wheel was very stable and
  >>     made tricks like wheel hopping relatively easy.
  []     Quickly lost favor due to severe saddle soreness!
