i still have no clue why you felt so offended
you got constructive criticism
you were the only one that got personal ...

if you go back and look you might see it's cause you took the piss unnecessarily, and before anything johnny wrote to you (even though his response was not too good either) - fine for me, and all the people who know you, but not so fine for someone who you should be encouraging. And there is absolutely no constructive criticism in the 20 posts above this one, i'm afraid. just lots of 'you idiot, you can't actually do what you said you could'. How is that constructive?

i'm surprisingly angry about this. there are few enough good staff jugglers discussing technical stuff, so i don't see why several people want to be rude about somebody new who just posted that they learnt a new trick, and probably won't bother to post here anymore. 6 staff multiplex flash? no matter how it is done, its f@cking cool, and done once, i'd bet that it can be done again, and anyone who can do it can almost certainly do f@ck loads of other nice stuff. way to go guys. shrinking the community for positive effect! well done.

back to topic;
several borrowed club patterns tried yesterday, and occasionally succeeded, enough to make me think theyll be solid if i work on them:
423 (the 4 and 3 are both from a wall plane spun cascade) where the two is:
spun back over the shoulder like a nunchuck
neck rolled, horizontal
body rolled, fromt to back
fishtailed

for a very few, yes. but you shouldn't judge someone before you have found out a bit more. it lacks class and reflects more on the judger than the target.

appearances = important. Even on the internet!

but then by you and robs avatars meg you would both be a bit dull and I know you're really quite colourful

Oh and in an effort to backslide I have successfully turned the 3 staff cascade with behind the head flourishes into a very tidy double staff thowing pattern. works with 2 hands alternating or 1 hand alone... only 2 catches with 1 hand but thats a qualify isn't it? I mean both staffs end up in the same hand they started form

its weired how its gotten so personal all of a sudden

if i read in order

johnny claims to have nailed a nearly impossible move

well afterwards he explains himself and i guess the biggest problem was the terminology
how he described it later was changing quite the pattern
i thought he meant the shower but he didn´t

then i wrote something similarly impossible
just to show how that sounds

then he got personal (
I don't see what a video of the damn thing is going to do when it clearly isn't appreciated, at least not by benstix who seems to have lost his staffs up his a** or something. It's sad dude this thread has gone to )

through then i was actually still very amused about the whole discussion

to your point Mr Cat
I REALLY don´t understand why a simple ironic comment, gonna stop somebody to post here

One of my biggest problem with this community is that we are not critical enough

and lots of people like to crawl each others balls

I have NO clue why i should write well done
for things like this

i don´t think it helps anyone( at least not in pushing the skill level), because it would make people think they´re cool enough... so why put effort in longer practice sessions
to really nail down something

i know you want to be pushing the same scene further
(in a different way tho)
but i think there is still some work to do.
by just waking people up

there is a reason why lots of jugglers look down on the spinning scene

criticism we gave him heaps
he now knows much more about the terminology
used in juggling

and that actually a 6 staff shower requires a lot more effort

.....
back in the days i was also playing around with number multipexes (only 5 staffs tho) could hold it for like 2 rounds
its actually easy to flash but hard to continue
for me

because i cant really throw clean multiplex with out an extra spin
and that needs much more time , i have only six and a half meters in my training room
i hope that was constructive enough

i would say we can let the theme rest for now

i mean i´m German and sometimes i cant resist a bit of irony
