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

Playing around with claw catches. Need to get new balls though.

Any cheap suggestions?

Balloons with rice in em.

Use two different balloons. Use the second balloon to hide the part where you tied it off, cut the bit you blow up and cut a few circles out of it and you'll have juggling balls with spots on them!

Hahah, my only other recommendation isnt cheap. I use hybrid balls. Mmmm...

That is what I have, but the constant droppage has 'em getting manky. I need to replace the outer cover at least....

Cover em in baby powder.

5 balls 7/8 catches.

Nice going.

Early days but getting there.

Heheh. I think that I am going to stick with three. Really need to practice again though....

Every time someone says,

"I think that I am going to stick with three"

God kills a kitten.

I've been sticking with three a while. I had a go with 4 and didn't like it...

I never really liked cats anyhow.

Mike7: I never said permanently. I just want to get three balls solid before I move on. So does that mean that a kitten is resurrected?

Pft, 3 balls is blatently the most fun though!

Five cats! now that would be a chalange.

4 balls is the most fun, for the reason that you can throw one higher than the rest and still do whatever three ball tricks you want underneath which allows for about a zillion more things than are possible with just three.

And no, the kitten is still dead. He'll probably come back when you learn 4 balls (but he might become a zombie or something like in pet cematary, so you better hurry).

I agree, 4 is fun... though the other day I saw someone (Matt Hall) do a 5 ball 97333 I think with a Machine instead of normal 3's. It was awesome.

I have moved back to learning some 3 ball tricks that I avoided in my quest for the 5 ball cascade, and I'm enjoying some 'clay-motion-esque' moves.

I was messing around with 711 and figured out 73171131 then went on to 83383133 and (just now) 94493344.

I briefly tried to do a 4 ball rubensteins using something like 952233 - but failed.

the 83383133 is interesting, but it seems like alot of effort for a 633 =P
I'm only half aware of how high an 8 is from doing 8040 or 1 handed 3 ball high-low shower (fountain).

Just because I'm not sure, and I'm an a$$ for Siteswap, is 711 like a 7(2x,2x)(2x,2x)?

Yeah, 83383133 seems to fit well into a run of 633.

711 isn't ground state, you have to throw a 5 to get into it. It's basically a high three ball cascade but with two quick passes (1's) between every throw. (Not the same as 73131.)

I also had a little go at b444b333444 but it seems pretty nuts. I managed some b444444's to warm up though.

On a side note....

I know it's not ME in the video, but I'm mentioned! I'm famous now! lol
