Hiya all, has anyone tried juggling pixi-sticks? ie really short staves that burn at both ends?

lalalalalala

Ok give them to me at Synergy and I'll let you know...

Are they really that bad? Or just cheap?

But at 135g they must be better than samballs, but prlly not as good as globalls, heavy b@$t@rds...

U taking your red nose TomTom?

Well I've got the first half of a Mill's Mess going from left side to right, coming back the other way is a bit trickier lol. Probably because my left hand throwing from right to left still sucks

Working on a few more odds and sods, been a wee bit slack the last week though...

yes!

i haven't been online enough lately so can't remember what i've learnt. got a one handed three ball multiplex and catch last night tho. also been getting into club passing, five balls getting nicer, as are four. an cole, i'm finally gonna buy some new balls! gonna get 7 or 8 mr.babache but can't decide on colours still. may get some new clubs but dunno wether to get one or two more beard circus or go all out for some henry's classics.... hmmm...

i've also tried getting on a wheel but can't get very far at the moment...

Erm got my backcrosses solid on 3 clubs, alberts every now and then, and that one where you bat the thrown club into a reverse with a club before catching it. Also - flourishes with a 1/2 snake instead of the usual fingerspin.

hmm, been learning 4 balls, just the basic throws and catches, have almost got that now...

mmm another day of tasty 7ballness.
22 now.

and a couple of three up pirouettes with clubs....

been learning clubs for about 2 months now... have got double and tripple spins down, and have been working on under-the-leg throws... what are some other easy-ish three club tricks to master before moving on to trickier stuff?

I always get into double/triple spins from the same hand while throwing singles with the other.

Start learning 1/2 throws and then flats. then reverses.

2 in 1 hand while doing something with the other.

Learn to catch a club while holding a club in that hand. Then you can do multiplexes and other cool stuff.

HTH,

Josh

i somehow managed 30 catches of 5 ball. considering my previous record is 10, im not quite sure what happened....

Try mills mess if you can do it with balls.

If not....
Learn mills mess with balls, then come back to me.
Then I shall tell you what to do next

I almost got the mills the other night..just for a while, then when I stopped I couldn't remember how I was doing it!! Arg! and it seemed so easy while I was doing it!
*Eveish trundles off to find a juggler to show her how to do it AGAIN*

i got some weird multiplex variations, over the last couple of days. but nothing special. i have no jugglers around to teach me so i have to figure things out by myself. so most of this is really basic

my latest trick was 2 ball multiplex with chops inbetween. its pretty tricky to get it going continuosly and there are many variations to play around with..... involves a lot of big and fast arm movements. (again thats from my viewpoint, coleman probably could do that while balancing on a matchstick)

I like to dance around lots when I juggle (this is somwhat hampered by my lack juggling skills, but it is SLOWLY improving ), and this is a really nice poiish structure I have started to use when playing with 3balls:
The idea is to get throws going the same way each time ie left to right, left to to right, left to right this might be known as a windmill but I am not to sure... The catching hands move quickly back to the same place in order to throw again (this means everyother throw will have you with your arms crossed). If you learn this both ways and also get it going in front of you a bit like a buzzsaw sort of thing (ie always throws away from where you are facing or always back to you) , then you are free to run around in circles. So it is like the balls stay doing the same thing but you move around them always facing them. Still having a bit of trouble with the buzzsaw like bits but it is lots of fun .

i do that too kyle!

nice one

have spent a while trying to walk around a cascade but its a lot harder than this!

Black flouzies eh? Won't they be a tad difficile to see against the dark roof at Spitz?

I'd go for Mr. Babache anyday.

its cool - i got a load of lb beanbags instead.

ever tried flashing 11 will...?

What's the lb beanbag? Are those the barnsey bags as used by numbers geeks?

No i've never tried flashing 11, or 9.

Can't really see the point, i'd rather get 7 nice and clean, solid and get some tricks (my half shower is coming along, slowly). Last night I could have used you counting - i did quite a long 7b run.

Have you ever tried flashing/juggling eleven?

I got 5ball double boucing shower today. It's real nice 2 balls are always bouncing at the same time...

Must announce something to all who might be excited about such an event...

I GOT THREE FIRE CLUB-LETTS FOR MY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!


as you can maybe tell, I'm very excited about this!! *Eve does a happy dance around her room for the twentieth time today*

for eve's new toys

will - lb bags

i've never tried throwing more than 7 things at any one time.
i've tried flashing 4 in one hand and can just about do that.

i'll be at highgate next week with my counting hat on for ya

woohoohoo, that juggling pattern where the hands flip over and one ball gets scooped between the hands, think it might be called grace, whatever it is called, it is now mine :-)

k i just learnt a new move 4 devils sticks....its where you do the normal click clack or tick tick, throw the center sick up, move 1 hand stick under 1 leg, catch the center stick, do the click clack/tick tock then throw the center stick up again jump to the other leg and put the other handstick under ur leg and catch the center stick again. if u can get this fast enough u can walk whilst doing it.

i no that sounded very confusing but still some of u who have more mind power than me might be able to understand it!!

hey just a random question,
does anyone own those coiled fire juggling balls? the ones you can hold in ur hand without gloves. i was thinking about getting some but i dont know anyone who owns them, so i would like some feedback on them.....
thanks

konsti - speak to jonnny dreadlikely cos he has a set of fyrefly's.

i warn ya - they do get hot...

Cheers Cole.

Last night i discovered Mike's Mess in 3 Rings.


And came VERY close to landing 5 ring pancakes, but I only managed 4 catches


Alas I won't be at Highgate tonight - maybe see you Tuesday?
