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

after wes pedens workshops I have some nice new club manipulation down now
can be done with 1 club or with one club holding 1 or 2 others

wrist catches (whatever they are called)
single club contact conveyor roll
single club steve
club halos
getting there on tap-backs with right hand 5 taps is best so far with a catch at the end, left needs some more work

throwing clubs is so 19-yesterday contact club fits in nicely with my staffing.

Wes Peden is so dreamy.

... I mean... inspiring... yeah.

Right on both counts... erm. I mean.... yes, very inspiring.


Also, Good work Mynci, I tend to agree that contact clubbing is nifty and more fun (sometimes) than throwing them, but non-jugglers don't seem to appreciate it the same... sadly

That's not completely true. we had quite a few non jugglers at southern lights this year who absolutely loved Wes's show to quote "That stuff where he wasn't throwing them was awsome"

It's just a pain re-learning tricks I can do with a prop with completely different weight distribution :loco:

nerds...

are tastey although probably lethal candy treats

I think all Jugglers are nerds, and I think you have to be to be any good. I just wish I was more Nerdy (note the capital N I think you need to qualify 7 or higher to get the capital )

to an "average" human being, these would look like random numbers...

I mean

NERDS!

Hippy

I have a capital N!

I'd LOVE a capital N

Sweet! finally some recognition for all the hours of practice that goes into juggling... my very own capital N!

You'll get your capital N too Mynci. keep at it!

"Nynci" and "N1LL"

do you juggle at all tom?

I know it's not a new 'move', nor have I 'learned' it really...

But in my quest for being silly, I have a pretty solid 'looking' pattern with 5 clubs.... lol

Ok, so seriously, I got 6 throws and 3 catches.... Not bad right? Considering I can't actually get more than 20 catches on a good day of 5 balls... lol

Back to practicing.

I qualified 8 balls.

Synchronous.

It was an ordeal.

Congratulations!

I just got my best run of 5 balls - 34 catches but it wasn't all cascade, needed to throw in a multiplex halfway through after a terribly slack throw gave me little time to maintain the pattern, but I got it back which made me feel good I shall nail 5 balls this year! all weekend teaching workshops gives me plenty of time.

man, ive been throwing up the 5 clubs for what must be nearly 3 years now, with a break of practically no juggling for a year there somewhere and ive only made it past 50 catches once. its gradually gettin better but it needs practice daily...i havent tried it in over 2 weeks.
ive learned loads of poi tho: cateyes, some new throw patterns, and lots of practice on stalls and flowers. thats the advantage with poi - you can keep advancing and still practice indoors at home (coz the weather is never stable here and proper indoor practice space is hard to find)

I did 18 catches of 6 synchronous kneeling in my living room, but I think that was because the height was exactly right, all the balls bounced off the roof back down so they all had the same height which kept the pattern relatively stable.

Is it technically bounce juggling if they hit the ceiling?

(Oooh, that's deep)

if you imagine yourself juggling on the opposite side of the world while you're doing it it kind of is
