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

It seemed easy today to ge the pattern going, but I'm experimenting with hand positioning at the moment, so haven't really solidified the pattern.

Good going with the 9club passing!

21 catches of 5clubs.

Progress is sooo sloowww.

Not been on here for aggggeeessssss but i mastered 441 with clubs and i'm pretty damn chuffed with myself

441 = brilliant for learning 4 clubs.


Today -

Qualified 5551 in triples back into a cleanly finished run of 4c.
Qualified 5551 in doubles and back into the fountain pattern.

(Not tried that siteswap before)

Can also juggle 4 clubs triples for approx 20 catches. That's 16 more than yesterday, it just clicked.

441 does indeed rock.

i also like 444044403 for four club warm up


cole. x

got 441 with balls looking neat at last instaead of a messy rush, and 441 with the 1 behind the back is getting there. 531 is pissing me off, i've got it but it doesn't feel right, my 5 is too high and the 31 too low maybe, more time, more time. any suggestions on 3b siteswaps to progress onto next?

522
55500
6411
5511
64203
51

Lemonkey yes 5 clubs does take ages

How are you with 5 clubs now?


Cleanly flashed a 4club shower from a cold start. Attempted to get into the shower using a 56 excited state (I think). That failed.

I also managed a 5551 in triples to a run of 4 club singles! Only once though. Had one round of 7333 too.

55500 being a 3 up thing yeah, with pirowets
6411 do you have the 11 as the same ball zipping back and forth? same for 5511?
64203? arrrg!
51 - yep, i follow.
am going to find a siteswap computor thingy now so i can figure these out, cheers hex.

i just got boston mess on a unicycle

I have recently got...

3 club shower, 3 club flash,
and learnt to pass crossing 3 count.

4stack prymids the wrong way, both hands.

T

running 5c most times i try now, getting some rather long runs.

Off swimming. catch ya later

It's been a while since I learnt much cos I've been distracted with poi, but today I sorted out cross-arm normal 3b cascade (as opposed to reverse cascade) - not exactly jedi but I'm happy with it all the same

Also, my 4 ball fountains and pistons are coming along most pleasingly.

nice k, gonna try that now, normal cascade, crossed arm, hmm.
i've managed to make the box a real box now, with a lid! its like the box, then straight into machine, and then change direction (hard bit)
err, lots of mess variations, going smoothly through 1/2 mess both sides, full mess, 1 hand claw mess, then other hand claw, then both hand claw, nice and clean. also the occasional penguin catch thrown in, and odd back of hand. just need to get it on the back of my hands then i'll be happy

Don't think I've actually seen all clawed mills mess, that's pretty sweet... But back of the hand mills mess? I look forward to seeing that at Fal6

The box is one of those tricks I really think I should have got round to nailing by now... that and 441...

*ambles off to put some effort in*

Clawed Mills Mess is fairly easy.

I managed 3 "flat fronts" out of a 4 club async cascade.

finnally learning some left hand sevens.....

4c is getting much better now too...

T

3clubs, put one between the legs, 2 clubs and one hat, throw the hat to the head and continue with three clubs.

3 clubs, hat on head -> 3 clubs and 1 hat all in the air... just have to catch them all now well, i can, but only just qualify it... back to practice....

T

woo hgoo! three posts in a row, where are all the jugglers at????

today in my thrid practice session i got 4444453444444 with clubs, for the first time ever, i thank you!

T

ok not for four then Tom

mmmm have i learnt anything new? Don't think so.

oh yes, doing crossing triples and quads and quints in 8 club passing.

more silliness with machine and box things, multiplex to cross arm catch with 1 hand penguin (both sides)
not new but a nice pick up thingy, three balls on floor, in a row, cartwheel, picking up 2 outside balls with hands and middle ball with teeth, cartwheel, picking 1st and 2nd balls and landing upright with barefoot on last ball, ready to flick it up
and i'm getting there with dropping a ball from behind my head mid cascade - inspired by double staff transfer.
sorry Nx will learn quicker in the future to avoid you multiple posting (runs out of lecture to practice)

doing a cartwheel with your face at ground level is hardcore by itself!



you sound like you'd enjoy this:

erm, i have learnt nothing new in ages
still not-really-working on headrolls and club balances with the occasional failed run of 3b backcrosses


cole. x

I qualified 8 clubs!





Oh wait, it was Gatto...

[evidence]

super bent arms!
just read the first few posts ever on this thread, yes, i have just learnt that my 3's are too high in 531, my trouble is, should the 5 be going like a normal cascade or reverse? i think it looks prettier in reverse but i cant get it consistent, sometimes reverse, sometimes normal.
also with 441, the siteswap computor thingy shows the 1 becoming 4 on the inside of the last 4, and i do it round the outside as it gives more time, am i cheating?
yeah cole, manu laude is sick, i've got the full vid if you want (to fat boy slim this time) yeah, i learnt handstand mouth pick ups from the snake thingy in breakdancing, my teacher loved it when he saw me doing that in performance

i have the fatboy slim howie edit of that act too

have you checked out manu's new(ish) website? i soooo need to see that 'flying wings' act

for 531 you can do it any way you like - that's why siteswap rocks

for learning 531 though, i'd recommend you aim for all normal (inside) throws until its fairly solid and then go for some simple variations with reverse throws and such.

as for 441, the throw type variations should be fairly quick to pick up once you have the basic trick down - and there's no such thing as cheating!

multiplex (2) in a vertical stack, turn somewhere between 90 and 180 degrees and catch them in vert stack behind back. i've only done this while messing around with 2 so far,
i've also satrted playing with 2 doing columns and umbrellas with weird arm crossing catc/throw combos, i think i've done this before but never upped it properly to 3, maybe i'll do that today...

woo, me and silvia did some ring passing the other night, foud we could do everything we could do with clubs but easier... too easy!!!!!!!!

I also juggled 4 rings for the first time.

T

double posting ahoy...

a few rounds of flat box, and three rotations of 441 with the 1 btb...
