MTGjumper member Registered: 11/12/05 Loc: Notts	once again lemonkey comes to the rescue! thanks! shower explosions look really hard, but I'll have a go. The convention was really good; i got to meet ben beever (is that how you spell his name?) and their were loads of people juggling five and were willing to give me tips! I was more consistent though, getting 40 catches on almost every try! Nobody knew if the Romeos Revenge I was doing was right. They said they'd heard of it, but nobody I asked knew how to do it. Therefore, they thought it was 'insane'. Not bad for a days juggling, but my arms kill (i guess thats what you get for juggling 5 balls two hours straight!) _________________________ Build a man a fire, keep him warm for a day.

spiralx veteran Registered: 01/05/02 Loc: London, UK	Written by: MTGjumper I havent been yet hexagonic; its between 2 and 10 at notts university, and im going at three. Also, back on the topic of romeos revenge, is it meant to look like a chop to the right before throwing from the chop in claw, then chopping on the right again and doing a little flourishy thing similar to burkes barrage, then you repeat it on the other side? I've got an hour to find out! The thing that I listed above ive got solid, well over 100 catches. Not bad to say I learnt it yesterday. But is it even right!? Edit: did the pattern I just desribed make sense to anyone? EditEdit: does anyone know wher i can find a video for a shower explosions? Romeo's for me is underarm throw upwards, overarm backtoss and an underarm throw to the middle and then an orbit back to the start. _________________________ "Moo," said the happy cow.

Beth Miss Whippy Registered: 03/06/03 Loc: Cornwall & Oxford	I got a bit tired of practicing 4b mills so i went onto jugglewiki, found a fun pattern and learnt it, i think it was called taylors tangle, it has a really nice rhythmn, good for juggling to music. _________________________ Aim high and you'll know your limits, aim low and you'll never know how high you could have climbed.

MTGjumper member Registered: 11/12/05 Loc: Notts	hexagonic, Ive been juggling five for bout three months, so ive got till march to beat 1min 40. At the moment im getting bout ten more catches evry week (last week I was at 74... that was just a massive jump for me). Since I reached 30 cathces the pattern just clicked! btw. approximately how many catches do you think you did in that 1 min 40? it depends on how high you were throwin. _________________________ Build a man a fire, keep him warm for a day.

MTGjumper member Registered: 11/12/05 Loc: Notts	what do you think are the best warm ups before doin five balls. Normally, i start with two, doing 5, pass, 5 pass. Three: showers, snake, high cascade, flashes. Four: 55550, or 555pass555pass. 5: flashes. Edit- is a 1 in siteswap a pass, and a 0 a mimed throw?

Lemonkey Stalking amidst the desert, carrying an oversized scalpel... Registered: 01/08/05 Loc: Huddersfield + Hull Uni... UK.	Approximately 4 catches per second, if I recall correctly. 1min 40 = 400catches. My record of 2 min 15 ish = 540. _________________________ Willy - is bad for your health...

MTGjumper member Registered: 11/12/05 Loc: Notts	so ive gotta beat approximately 400 catches. 12 weeks= 120 more catches acording to my learning rate, equaling 210 catches after 6 months. looks like hexagonic has won.... but then again, he was a year older than me. Edit: how many catches would you class as having the patetrn solid? Edited by MTGjumper (19/12/05 02:14 AM) _________________________ Build a man a fire, keep him warm for a day.

Lemonkey Stalking amidst the desert, carrying an oversized scalpel... Registered: 01/08/05 Loc: Huddersfield + Hull Uni... UK.	That's what I like about juggling, the sense of trumph you feel when you learn a new trick. I don't feel that for any other object manipulation business... Anyway, regarding your question about warming up for five, my opinion is - all those siteswaps (5552, 55550, 5551 etc) are rubbish for helping with five. My advice = Don't practice long runs all the time;, practice your ability to start correctly, to keep the pattern nicely in the air, and then have a clean finish, for maybe 30/40/50 throws. I find that helps. Another method - Do 10 sets of flashs, 10 sets of 7 catches, 10 sets of 11 catches, 10 sets of 15 catches etc, builing up a base pattern with 5. All those four ball siteswaps which "help" with 5 should be easier once you're good with five. _________________________ Willy - is bad for your health...
