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

Ok, so no where as near as impressive as everyone elses new tricks but...

I got Flourishes with clubs the other day

534 on double singles (my god it has wierd timing: wimpy, normal, wimpy the other way normal, etcetc)

Wimpy... So you're going sync?

My 5 rings feels much nicer to run now, my no means solid. 40pb. Also managed 744744744drop.

well, not quite sync. more like..er..

duh-duh....duh-duh.....duh-duh... instead of the usual duh, duh, duh, duh, etcetc.

I got some new balls this weekend. They're much smaller than the 110g babache i used to use. Had some nice runs of 7b and 753 still looks good, as for 97531, i might need some more practice before i get that one going!

Attempting to get 534633 in 4clubs, and 642 (triple/double/single)

I wish I could do 753...:(


I forgot to mention, I can do 534 with rings.

5 ball update: 239 catches last night at 9:18pm gmt. Not too shabby. Consistently getting 75+ catches.

On an unrelated note, its my birthday in 4 days (mark your calenders!) and I'll be able to use my DXs. Do you think they will improve my five ball cascade?

it'll probably get worse before getting better, but yes it probably will.

53 triple single. Four rounds.

4 clubs async doubles, approx 60 catches.

Compleatly pathetic compared to what all you guys are doing but this weekend I learned how to kick the ball up and start juggling immediately.

I'm pleased with myself anyway

humm

LOADS of hat tricks, (ive got a hat)
staff antispins.
outside elbow to straight outside elbow to that elbow ballance wher your hand is by your neck (long time comming)
idling
atomic inversions

not bad for a couple of days.

I practiced;

some backcrosses on doubles

infinity I used to call it with balls and now I do it with clubs
doubles above my head
3 up half pirouette

JHONNNNYYYYY!!!!!!!!

hellohellohello!

forgot to mention that I passed 8 clubs at the weekend...

Bwahah! A co-worker here has some juggling bags that were just layin around so I decided to give them a whirl... yet another toy I'm addicted to! So, for the last week with three ball juggling I got fountain (? i dunno juggling names, inside to out), shower (outside to in.. sketchy), mills mess (? i think that's it, arm crosses under the other for the tosses), behind the back to front toss, and various others...

Gah, I get addicted to this stuff too easy :P. I need to go buy some glow juggling toys...

I learned a shower.

And ball passing with my lovely Amelie

And Club passing!!!

What fun!

Toommeee Indeeeedddyyyy

Well done on backcrosses, but I would have left out the acrylic

Passing is great. Some people just turned up to pass with here, then I got sick for the last two days, but tomorrow....

I also been solidizing wall plane showers which are only good on doubles so far (bit of left-hand-throwing-the-double action though...)

And tried half shower with over the top throw wall plane single. This is harder than I planned, but should be quite easy in the end, and will look good on fire

Also tryin to learn flowers still, but not in this thread

Wallplane hates me, I cannot do it.

I got all the wallplane DOWN!

shower, singles, double, highlow....

try the toby walker flat shower thingy, thats my favriot.

tomahawk throw to foot (with hat)

you in brasil or sommit johny?

T

I been tryin Toby Walker jobby but oooh it's a bit naughty.

Also tried highlow a bit.

Really want solid wallplane shower the other way from normal (throwin wit the left hand for me.) Cos if both hands were solid wall plane I'm sure that'd be good for tricks.

I is indeed in India and they got some good spinnyjuggle peeps here. They call it Banethi, but this only includes stick and meteor. Very good at it though, the teacher was originally taught by his grand-daddy.

So I may learn more meteor but it's blimmin hard and there's not enough time cos did someone say 'tabla'

lol cole, you know the two ronnies joke about the swedish chemists?

I learnt a new 4 yesterday, under the opposite shouder and over the back... looks cute, and is not too hard.

johnny, go tabla! thats what id be learnin too!

4 potatoes mills mess

Hey all!
Haven't posted for a week or so (blame the comp) my 4b mills mess is coming on now; bout 30 catches consistently now. Going to fundango convention tomorrow, at Notts Uni. Lookin forward to it!

@ hexagonic: your right, the DXs are making my 5b a bit dodgey, but ive managed 130 odd once. I can still do it well with beanbags though.

Oooo... also managed to do 441mm for about 30 catches, so I'm dead chuffed.

If anyone here's going to the convention tomorrow (doubt it), see you there.

T'ra

Edit: @ Hexagonic: how old were you when you managed 5b for 400 catches. I know you were fourteen, but how many months. Just wondered if you had an age advantage over me for that bet!

108catches with 4 clubs, async doubles. Out of that into triple single (one round), and back into doubles. Wonderous.

14 yrs, 8 months MTG

Most exciting thing for me in juggling recently has been that i can now catch three clubs in my left hand

Im baaaack! Did you miss me?

Convention was good, but my 5b was really, really bad (my best was summit like 87; meh) but on the brightside, learnt 4b shower (i think I could have learnt it before, but the roof was high enough there for sevens) and also hi-low shower(?)(7131).

Oh yeh, realised I've been juggling five balls for 5 months now, not 6 (started in sept) so I've got an extra month to beat you, Hexagonic! Also, I'm 14yrs 4 days old, so you kinda had a big age advantage.

In other news, I'm going to the Notts international juggling convention on 4th March. Anyone going (again, doubt it).
