Advanced staff juggling ... let´s go mad !!

so, if you are doing 42 take the hand that is doing the 2 and pass the staff between your legs, let it drop down onto your foot... then you are in a lovely position for a kick up back into three. my left is chronically sketchy at this, so currently i'm a bit one sided.

got a few more, but this is one of the more spinning friendly ones rather than just another juggling trick transferred.

the reason for the new thread is explained in the first post, bastl - it was in the wrong place, not that there was anything different. noticed the separation in HOP?

why the new staffs?

right, i just thought you can move whole threads to the new part... anyway.

yo tim:
i am mostly wearing a kilt -male clothing
but anyway i love skirts, since ever, they are so compftable to wear, specially in summer times -you should take a look at my golden dress

hey rob:
new staff: hm my old ones are not suitable for stage anymore. i still can´t find a propper solution, so the staff doesn´t push through the soft-cover-ends....so i had to tape them for 531 festival -looked a bit [censored]

could you afix a round stopper to the end which is wider than the staff seb? like a drawing (push) pin? would reduce the pressure on the end, even a ping pong ball may work.

mmm. i've gone through mine already, but am about to fix up with plugs and neoprene..... hopefully this'll work. but to be honest it deosn't affect them at all... so why was it so bad that you needed to fix them up?

hmmm first i don´t like half way working design -i studied product design so i should find a solution

anyway, first the staff breaks through, than the "head" gets loose, and than lego-techniques are so much harder to play...

in the moment i am on similar trip: plugs and a kind of plastic the internettranslator doesn´t find an english word for
lets see how lond it will last

mynci: good idea, i am searching since ages for such a rubber-push-pin-thing, couldn´t find it so far...any ideas where to look ?

mmm. except i made mine attach very securely with innovative tape cutting techniques

so the end is crap, but its not going anywhere. i did got the other end wrong, so need to buy some more poles for lego work. i can't wait to play. can we make a juggly-legoey-geeky show, bastl?

try a furniture or hardware store, you can find things like rubber feet for tables etc for wood floors
OR take a craft knife to a rubber ball

cheers mynci,
that are good ideas, i haven´t tried the rubberball-knife version

but i have been to every toolshop/furniture accessories in vienna
nothing which fits...

If I find any I'll post them

wicked dude
that would be great!
how is your mills going on ?

painfully I'm doing a lot more stuff with clubs too I'm planning on spending the next year on juggling I need to tidy my planes a bit but am getting 2 staffs in 1 hand slowly, switching between left and right dunno the sitswap but its something like 423

what is lego-techniques?

you know "lego" with clubs ?
basicly the same just with staffs.
quite hard to descripe with words,

hm: you don´t throw all objects continiously like sitwswaps.
you most of the time trap one staff with the 2nd one (or a body parts) and than throw/drop/lock the 3rd one, and repeat pattern in mirrored way.

any idea what i am talking about ?

Like making and A shape by holding 2 staffs into a V and locking the 3rd across?

äh kind of, in order to make it a „lego“ you have to loop it into a repetative pattern. Most of the time the objects swop positions. Most legos have this „stop & go ryhthm“ -feel to them.
I played a playfestival one simple lego pattern, the last figure in the 1st song, if you can remember..
more clear now ?

All my props have been nicked so any advice on size and weight for making new juggling staffs will be appreciated :cry:

I'm not sure if I should just make some practice ones for now, lights and soft my fire ones were nice if a little awkward. I'm gonna give it some thought

Just use CLUBS.

See, now that's what I call spinning and juggling. Pwoar!

or smaller sticks... must make the 5 cascade easier...

Haha that was special!

cheers dude I think I'll go with that.

hey, Lee - just thinking about your bad back - you should make some uber light ones. Mine have done wonders for my shoulders and back, and actually make me want to practise more.

i'll put the design on when i'm not on my way out the door.

Cheers dude although my back has been much better since the chiropractor

Aaah, so this is why I haven't seen anything on the staff juggling thread for ages.

Mynci, much sympathy about the staves, left mine on the tube last year, still recovering

i had a nice juggle yesterday after watching the VIDEO OF DOOM!



no really new tricks, but a lot more comfort with some patterns, and i've some nice ideas to play on when a bit more back into it (a month of aerial , poi, and angle grinding has kept me busy...)

but i have a camera now! so more interesting stuff soon.

wooo! meg and i had an awesome play yesterday, and learnt loads of new stuff... but i didn't take the camera...

however.

loads of 4 staff patterns. and runarounds. and stuff. bastl, it's going to be awesome.

a heap of 3 staff (1 person) starts, including some nice kickups.

mills mess.

anttis funny cascade with the poncey arms.

dips.

total random juggling. aaaaaaaahahahahahaha

double pirouettes

2up pirouettes. and caught 2 of three in a 3 up (tried it loads badly too, though)

the 3 staff millsmess was great want to see a 5staff version soon though
