I have to say after watching this video, I love the guy. He is number one in my book. Wonder how shows he does each day. I am still laughing at some of his antics. Maybe he can do the Kansas State Fair or even Missouri State Fair some time.

Hey.....that is me doing a show and thinking about control line)))))
I do 2 to 3 shows a day. And announce the Parade.
Did 5 days at the MO State Fair last year and ate BBQ every night. Never done the KS State Fair but did a show in Hugoton, KS this Summer.
Thanks ya'll.

That gives a whole new meaning to the term "sharp props"!

Shug.

You are DA MAN!! Winning the Walker Cup shug....ooops....should be like falling off a log for somebody that can do all that stuff! Borrow Brett's Infinite. practice a couple of patterns and it'll be like juggling carpenters' tools...a piece of cake. Who needs appearance points when you can put "stuff" in the right place like you do every day!

Can't remember ever being so thoroughly entertained by something on the internet.

Ted

On the other hand, somebody as quick as you shouldn't be serving chopped finger tips for hors d'oeuvres. Pay attention, man!!!!!

New and heavy juggling props sometimes bite. I was surprised it cut me so quickly and on the back of my finger...to the bone. Glad to say that I did not drop when sliced and finished the whole show. Gruesome fun it were.
Had CA in the car. Keep it there for all my crashing this Summer working on the pattern.
Flying the pattern and juggling have a connection to each other to me. Placement and focus. Though, I get applause for juggling.
Thanks Ted.

Hey, if you fly CL Stunt with the kind of dexterity you show juggling, you'll get lots of applause there too.

A really great show and you seem like a great and funny guy on top of it.

Hope to meet you in person someday!

Paul: Thanks for posting the video...one of a kind!

Wish I had seen you. Saw Glen Peterson there. He played with the big band at the Farmers Union. They are really great.
It was a mighty fine Saturday.
Thank you.

No plans for the NATS...but I do hope to go to Brodaks. Looks fun and seems it is only another year or two.
Thanks Larry. Hope to meet you as well.

Sore and tired today as the MN State Fair ended yesterday. Of for some R&R with my wife.
Then....back to the handle for some practice and fun.
Thanks for the kind words Jason.

Always an outstanding performance. You take a physical beating. How long can you keep it up?

That is a very good question and I get asked that all the time. I think as long as my parts stay physically good and my heart stay strong and happy I'll be able to do it for a long time though as I age I may have to modify some. But I want to go hard and bring it on as long as I can! Thanks a lot.

First time I saw a film of Shug he was flying his new Control line plane. He's a natural... I wonder how many C/L ships he can fly at one time!

Love your show, Shug...Wild and crazy is right. Enjoy your appreciation of Mose Allison, too. Perfect blend, Shug & Mose...

I do say just one plane at a time right now. Love to try two someday way down the line.
Thanks....Mose just came on once during a practice working hats. It made me move differently. Been Me and Mose ever since. Love that kind of fate.

Tom Niebuhr · « **Reply #24 on:** September 05, 2014, 06:41:48 AM »

I am naturally right handed. I did the two airplane bit a long time ago. I planned to have the potentially faster plane in my right hand. I was wrong. The one in my left hand was faster, so I had to keep looping it. I got through it .

BTW, my 10 year old Slob has had it. I will not build another one. I have something NEW in the works. Stay tuned.

Shug:

If you are coming to Brodaks - practice flying a Bi-slob so we can see you and Banjock in the circle at the same time! And don't forget the saber-dancing with a Ringmaster...

Where's Ed Sullivan when you need him??

Year's ago did you ever go into Luigi's in Butte?

Oh....I got me a Bi-Slob.....Dan with his Gargantuan Slob and me on a Unicycle flying a Slob. That would be fun!
Never been to Luigis in Butte I don't think.

Looking forward to that.
I need to re-set my Bi-Slob engine for more off-set!

Shug your a crazy clown.

Can't wait to see this live!
And yes I think this is a first.

How did you ever come up with that crazy idea to mix the two?

john e. holliday · « **Reply #29 on:** September 06, 2014, 10:16:19 AM »

Sean, again you are the man. I have trouble flying my Bi-Slob while standing on two feet. My Brother-in-Law loves the Bi-Slob because it flies so slow.

It was a one off....or so I thought. Need to try it on hard surface so I can ride in a small circle to see if that works.
Idea......just for a lark and to see if I could.
Thanks Paul.

For that reason I thought it could be possible on a unicycle. I'll have to try it some more but need to re-set my engine on the Slob. Re-did the motor mounts and the off-set need adjusting.
Thank you Doc.

Shug:

Luigi's was a bar in Butte Montana run by a retired carnival barker. An absolutely unique and fabulous place, but now long gone. If you ever meet anyone from Butte, ask them about Luigi's.
