Great flash but it's kinda like

a flying act selling a 2 & a half

as a triple when the bottom 2 don't

count & 2 other pairs are stacked

Sorta makes it a big 4 that move

...I don't think it can be done any other way.

There have been several rola bola

acts with alternating cylinders

with motion possible between them

All 8 cyliders do count no matter how they are stacked. He's over 12 feet up, and a mishap could cause serious injury.

No need to be so defensive Jimmy

It's an impressive well flashed

routine that I'm sure is received

very well by the crowds

So MR. Chic Silber you are saying the 2 bottom ones don't count? so on a 4 men high it's only a 3 men high? wouldn't that be calling the audience blind if we did that?

how do you stack 8 cylinders then? i mean with one rolla bolla way at the bottom and another one way at the top? with all cylinders in the midle? or wait you would call that a 3 stack then right?

Please don't take my silly poking

quite so seriously as mostly I'm

just here to have fun but since

your 2 bottom cylinders are stacked

verticaly they really count as part

of the pedestal & other pairs that

act as singles are good for flash

Since I haven't seen your routine

I'm not in a position to criticize

It is always good to see younger

generations continuing to perform

The majority of the audience looks

at performances differently from

some of us crusties thank goodness

In a rola bola act I only count the

parts that have mobile capability

Obviously the "Stack" got the act Booked...
8-High...
4-High...
Apples and oranges...
The only concern I would have at this point is that they get my name spelled right on the Check...

Zych,
When were you ever given more credit than deserved for being a 1/2 @ssed Rolly-Bolly Guy? That's news to me. It is your exploits on the wire that will immortalize you, pal. :)

Wade
When booking my Rolly-Bolly inevitably the Producer would show me a picture of someone doing a stack and would ask if I could do the same...
The Deal changer for me was "No, but I can set up the Marquee"...

u can only stack 2 rolla bollas in horizontal position one moving back and fowards and the other one moving side to side any rolla bolla guy know's this because im sure im not the only one who has tried adding more than 2 rolla bollas to high stacks.

but i still disagree with the bottom cylinders not counting on the stack and the "pairs" not counting as individual cylinders. because it does make a huge difference on how it feels it doesn't just add hight but it adds difficulty since the distance from feet to rolla bolla is greater it has to be alot smoother and precise corrections to keep balance. but thank goodness i only use 2 at the bottom i've seen 8 stacks that start with 3 even 4 at the bottom before a rolla bolla is placed on there leaving it incredibly easy for the guy attempting it. so i guess mine is fair enough

i prefer to equally separate the amount of cylinders on the stack that's why i do 2 cylinders rolla bolla 2 cylinders rolla bolla another 2 and then board leaving it looking evenly and still impressive but yet hard enough for me to show people what i'm doing is not easy at all.

and about getting the check and all that yes we all need the money. but to be honest i would stand on 20 cylinders for free just for the pride and glory of it but i think 20 is ridiculous unless they are like juggling rings thick! haha

Zych,
You the man. Two or more through and through. I am grateful for you insight. Everything I have learned from you over the years, I have been able to do absolutely nothing with it. :)

Jonathan,
As you get older and you realize pride and glory has no nutritional value, will will come to appreciate money.
