The official HOP juggling "I just learnt a new move" thread

4's as a backcross?

hi pre

yeah, dunno what they are called, i call them 3hands trick, cos antonio tre-mani taught me.

its a 4, but the throw is under the opposite arm from the front, so it arches across your back in a single rotation. cool lookin.

getting uverhead 3c going on


T

is it possible that you can find a video of the move somewhere by any chance, Is it similar to the UTB that Joe Showers does? I think I know what you're talking about but I want to know for sure.

3 club flash managed loads tonight even threw a few claps in as well and 2 runs of continuous flashes (about 4 flashes per run

I'm feeling the juggling again.

takeouts

and other maner of (4x,2)

6 catches over the head.

pre - i cant wtch all his stuff to find it, if ou point out a video, ill look.

whooo backcrosses

Been really getting into clubs recently, yesterday i managed underarm, underarm, backcross, backcross (is that a 4 way?) twice, a good few catches of 531 (triple, single and zip) and a few tap backs. Im trying to work on continuous backcrosses but i think they might take a while to get solid.

i think 4 way is underarm, backcross, albert, trebla...

i can do two of thoes

7531 with rings

Sil-X balls make juggling fun.

I bought a few more, and am moving up in numbers...

Ran a four ball fountain for the first time today.

552 with rings (finger spin for the two)

can now juggle clubs balls and rings overhead

relatively consistent backcrosses for three throws, starting left or right, no more than three though, singla and double spins. 10 throws with balls.
consistant 50 throws with five
hi lo, 423 (multiplex 4s, would this be[6,4][2,2]3?), cascade, rev cascade run with 5 balls.
441 penguin catches on 4s and 1s btb
5313 clubs 5s backcross, 3s flat, 1s btb. can't run531
65252? or to that effect
flats mess - is it really worth learning some of these tricks?
wrist trap angel roll wrist traps now on 4/10!

nose to forehead hop
working on drop back to kick, can get the kick but it stays behind me, straight up instead of forwards.
5 balls while hulaing 15ish throws, i want to try this on a rola bola.
pick up a ball while hulaing (lots of practice with this one )
does anyone else find chin balances a lot harder with a beard? i find it slippery.
tips on albert's and s'trebla please?

hmmm not to great at juggling, working on 4 balls right now aka just started practicing 4 balls yesterday so still not able to get it consistant

Any tips for starting 5 balls? ;-\

chuck em all in the air and then catch them...

then repeat step one

Oh right, wow, now I totally got it!!!

LOTS and LOTS and LOTS of practice with 4 balls. Get yourself a siteswap simluator (JugglingLab is a good online one) and try all of these:
552
5551 (starting with either hand)
534 (not so important but cool and it'll help)
55550 (I actually think this is harder than 5 but nobody has ever agreed with me)

Then start by flashing them all and catching cleanly, when you feel comfortable go for 7 throws, then 9 etc.

Its hard and you won't get it overnight but keep trying!

try learning the 3 ball shower both ways, ie. left handed and right handed

I got 531 with clubs the other day on both sides but not continuous... yet. And my runs of 4 are getting better =D

5 Ball qualify 10 catches, best run is only about 15 catches though.

3 in right hand 18 catches
3 in left hand 14 catches

(had a go at six but only manged 6 catches all together. think I may get 6 quicker than 5)
