Forums > Other Toys > The official HOP juggling "I just learnt a new move" thread

Been practicing my contact and can now do the following with varying degrees of success

Angel rolls (lovely move with a single club)
behind the back entry and exit to halos (can be done with 3 clubs but you need to catch the contact club using the other 2 pincer style)
Continuous conveyor / conveyor halo - best so far is round twice
I knew spending 4 years learning staff would have juggling bonuses.

and best of all ran 60 catches with 5 balls (been very lax with my 5 ball practice lately and to get that in my first session for over a month was definite boon)

A couple of balls short of a full cascade... or maybe a few cards short of a deck... we'll see how this all fans out.

Backcrosses is one of those tricks that takes a lot of work

We managed a couple of rounds of a 4-person PassPassSelf feast last night. Theres more decent club jugglers joined the club this year and its really fun working on the more complicated passing patterns.

Yay! Got access to a camera. We still doing a "spinning sucks" video?

I will easily be the worst juggler, but it sounds like fun.

Also it is exams, so I need reasonable excuses to procrastinate.

I'll have a blast at something this weekend

Whatever people want to do is fine, filling 2mins is quite a few tricks...

So, shall we say next week Friday (26th) is deadline? (Mostly because I need to leave good bandwidth on the 5th, so would be nice to get it done before then....)

PM for an e-mail address if you are interested in doing something for this. Around 1.5-2 minutes of anything but spinning (so juggling of some sort).

Flashed five a few more times, and actually putting some effort into it now. Getting started with 50505, but not able to run that yet. Getting regular flashes of 55550, so going to start trying to run that as well.

Otherwise, got four ball fountain solid, and am still playing lots with three. Trying to throw a 6 out of a cascade is hard. The 6 keeps coming down at the same time as one of my 3s.

Pretty. At least on a simulator/in my head.

I am currently torn between my new clubs and continuing my progress with five.

Wow, it's been ages since I've posted here. For the passers, I recently learned pass pzip self pass pass self, what a monster of a mission that was. Working on 5 clubs, 22/23 catches is where I'm at on good runs. Trying to nail 100 backcrosses with singles, getting to the 85 - 90 mark before losing my flow
Almost have the head balance to blind kick sorted.

In the meantime, check out this spot of me performing in Circus Aotearoa
