GRANVILLE ISLAND— A local street performer who has spent the last five years of his life putting in over 60 hours a week working at his juggling act is having a difficult time managing to keep that up and also juggle seven chainsaws.
Rodney Pipers, a 35-year old struggling juggling artist told The Peak that he has been caused great stress trying to maintain his career while also trying to keep up his newest challenging, extremely difficult stunt.
“It’s mostly just the ‘juggling seven chainsaws part’ that’s been really hard” Pipers explained, “The career part is fine, that’s pretty simple but I even struggle juggling seven balls and those won’t even decapitate me if I screw up.”
Pipers isn’t quite sure how he’s going to juggle everything he has going on right now and has said when you throw family into the mix it gets even more difficult.
“I’ve got three kids to support on top of all this” he complained clutching his forehead in stress, “If I make a mistake juggling them the court might take them away . . . and the three kids, two fireballs trick is the crown jewel of my act!”
While Pipers still doesn’t have a plan on how he’s going to maintain the delicate balance between spending time on his career, spending time with his family and juggling seven-running chainsaws, he say the problem isn’t really that complicated.
“Again, it’s pretty much just the chainsaw-thing that’s a problem, the other stuff is fairly straight-forward.”
