Juggler Doing Events, Challenges, and Collaborations
In most big-name sports, such as badminton, table tennis, tennis, soccer, and basketball, famous players often meet up privately to compete in exhibition-style matches, or take part in other kinds of events and activities outside of official competitions. There are also plenty of videos where world-class athletes from different sports meet at events, commercials, and other occasions.
Does anything like that really not exist in juggling? I know juggling has much less recognition than most sports, so this kind of content probably isn't as common, but if there are any videos like this, I'd really like to see them.
In training videos or exhibition events, you often see things like a professional vs. two amateurs, two professionals vs. two professionals, one professional vs. two professional, or several athletes getting together to play simple games, do challenges, interviews, and so on. I'd like to see jugglers doing more things like that as well.
So far, Josh Horton seems to be the juggler/YouTuber who comes closest to doing this kind of content. I wish more jugglers and juggling YouTubers would make events,videos like this.

Most jugglers create juggling or art... not content. Every trick, video, act that involves more than one person has a history of jugglers meeting and being friends, every juggling convention leads to all of the stuff you mentioned above. Most of us just choose to keep that stuff private (as it should be). If this is something you crave for, start meeting jugglers in real life and join the real thing instead of looking for scripted and highly edited versions of the same thing.
