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

Just about got Rubenstein's Revenge going, need to be able to do it for longer and make it look a hell of a lot smoother now. Clockwise shower. 441. Adding slams into stuff, not quite ready to try shuffles yet though.

Really must do a lot more work on my 1-up 2-up stuff though, getting the throws at a consistent height is slow progress.

hahaha!

and you wonder why you're not feeling inspired by poi right now...?

jugglerx - has a nice ring to it

*puts hands over ears*

Lalala! I can't hear you!

*removes hands*

Ahem Well, it's nice to be doing something where I can learn a new trick every day rather than every month... and I've missed every big meetup this summer and now have very little idea about what anyone is talking about!

'lo

grumble grumble grumble 744

seems to fall apart at the fourth 7 not b4 and not after, it's pretty consistant like that. any tips?

on a better note got 5b 3up half pirrotte the other day, it's very messy but still was pretty happy with that.

anyhow 744 grumble grumble grumble

"keep the 7's high and narrow" was the advice i got recently

mine falls apart before that so i can offer no more help.

a description of *how* it falls apart might help though...

3 club cascade

A few double spins in there for good measure

744 keep practising 744744 i guess starting with each hand.

I've just started doing 55557777700 from both sides.

5 clubs is looking nice tho

5 clubs...

That's a long way away for me... I'm going to try to beat my four club flash when I return to Uni.

I passed eight clubs (barly) at the ejc. I also learnt roll to outer elbow and im begining to get the btn roll at last!

word up will, hows england?

Tom

Cold, but am in France next week

I got a 3up piro today in 3b. twice. The last time i got one of them was in 1993! yay!

england will never win the ashes!

534 really clicked last night, and i learnt some atom wstuff today (or is that poi)

show was good, found out in public that i cant juggle 5 balls ballanced on two auidence members.

lol,

highly thinking about it, flights a bit pricy at the mo
maybe...

good plan, I recon we might have a chance

3ball shower *dances*

57 catches of 3club cascade i hurt my finger tho

clubs are bastards, balls are so much easier but for some reason, clubs are addictive, i cant put mine down! i'm still getting my cascade solid, working on 100+ catches, before going onto doubles/triples or silly things like columns or mills.

also, can you penguin catch clubs? i tried but i cant catch them in a way that would allow me to easily throw them again.

I cannot penguin catch balls, let alone clubs... therefore cannot help you with that query!

hey colin,

good to see you on hop

good luck with 6 ball - i gave up after i started passing the 20 catch mark as i could never see myself doing tricks with it.

see ya around,

Cheers coleman, and I'll need all the luck I can get with the 6. That or Gattos left hand. I wouldn't say no to his right hand either.

do siteswap combo's count as learning?
it definitely felt like learning so i'll tell you all about it

last night i found and juggled the best siteswap combo i've ever discovered: 55517333 which is right good
for non-siteswappers its a 4 ball trick that works out as a a 3 ball cascade followed by a 3 ball flash with three of the balls with the fourth ball going around that pattern all in a big circle

it was tricky to get it to fit properly but when it clicked, it really felt like my throw heights were right and i was more aware of the variation i could put on dwell time to adjust than i ever have been before.

juggling is good


cole. x

yes cole, you are correct juggling is good:-)

that sounds tasty, my 7333 has been gettin betta, might have at this 55517333 milarchy later on,

my 633s been getting proppa good

managed a tiney winey bit of 9151 the other day

and... it worked on both sides, a hahahahahahahaha

indeed.

juggling is lush,

especially when i do it

unless someone better is doing it

in which case i probably wouldn't be doing it

coz id be watching them:-)

I worked out the only part of my phone number that is juggleable is 930

nice one pat - 9151 is tasty.
my 4 ball hi-lo shower has been at a similar standard for *ages* now - can do 2 cycles solid but it may or may not fall to bits after that.
have improved getting out of it now though - i'm using the rule of "if it gets sketchy, collect and multiplex"

le monkey - general advice for 633 i got was "throw the 6's really high".
corresponding advice might be "keep the 3's low".
633 is definitely a tricky one - where best to look is the biggest problem.

Cheers.

I like 9151, but as you say, after a few rounds it just falls to bits.
