I thought i would start a thread for people interested in fire staff juggling,i am really interested to see any videos of people throwing two or more staffs,and in particular anyone taking it in new direction.
I am currently working on routines with two and three staffs and contemplating a serious attempt at the four staff shower,

Hi guys I almost collected every footage, with a usable format
now I'm working on the edition so it won't take too long. 
don't expect anything before the end of March though, and don't eat anything more of your body unless you do it as a trik, prepare for the next internationnal video theme : contact staff with eating body parts contortion

this quotes from staffgoal dicussion today...
Hi tim, good to hear from you
71 should be sidewap for 4 staff shower...
basiclly we agree
your throwing shoulder is starting to complain, i guess your catching hand/wrist will soon also... you give a lot of pressure on different parts of your body and don´t train it symetrical (i guess you guys don´t train everythig in both directions?)
that means you
your body up in a couble of years, even it is much more exausting to throw shower (71) than fountains (4444)= less hight, less effort, less pain if you catch it with your head, and symmetrical training for your body...
by the way: do you do some training/bodytreatment to give your body back what 4 staffs takes away? massage!
and yeah give me some time to work on the backcross idea, and next step...i don´t know i don´t do much staff juggling, 90% fishtailes
and alberts +... a real pain in the ass (yes i tried with tassilo;)
to darimoth
4444 it´s minute 6:07 or something, there you have fountain...
do you suggest 3 staff shower in backcrosses? if so, what is the problem? the pattern works the same. just with the body inbetween instead of in the backside of the pattern...;) this doesn´t mean that i can play it
but josh does a half shower in that way...
for backcross ...again, shower is unsymetric and very stressfull, just one typ of throwing (less space for variations & correction than within other patterns)
i go for mills mess behind the back in the moment...wait for imas/anttis video (
) might give you an basic idea what i mean...

bastl,thanks for the advise,i have a phyiso keeping an eye on my shoulder and have dramatically changed the way i train,some of my juggling is symetrical but as i am a huge fan of the shower pattern i will always perform it in my routine,however i know i will never reach a high level of cleanliness on fourwithout destroying my shoulder(not an option),
this is no bad thing the numbers part of my show is only a short section,and i have started work on a new style of one and two staff juggling which is a lot kinder on my body,
its wicked having other staffs jugglers to chat with and cant wait for the video

heyo tim
cool it´s really important to look after your body, even thou i am not the perfect example for that direction
but it´s much harder to cause major damage with fishtailes than with 3 staff
but don´t get me wrong, shower and asymetric patterns are wicked, and look awesome..but i belive that there is much more possibilites in symetrical throws...either way, shower in both direction would be nice, than you could turn under it contiously
sounds interesting..any more detailed explanation?
u are at uberparis or?

I do totally agree w/ seb on the symmetrical patterns, better for combos and better for your body
I just started working on 4 staffs fountain .. only 3 catches so far, but the throwing is getting tight
I don't like 4 staff shower .. find it pointless, fountain looks so much better
As I've always been working both my left & right hand ..
I manage to drill left-hand shower to right-hand shower .. looks/feels awesome
So I'll do my best to be able to turn w/ it for uberparis
and everybody should take a lot of care on warming up before 3/4 staffs juggling ... for me it's a neck killer !!
never had that much problem with my neck since I started juggling 3 staffs
btw> 4 staff throwing over concrete floor is also a killer ... for the staffs .. looking fwd to qualifying the fountain, so that I buy new ones

well,symmerical pattern is the new goal for 2007;)
i've always tryed it by instinct,so that mean NO left arm ,it just "catch" and maybe that0s the problem for a lot of mistakes even in twirling,and also in FIRED staff.
mumble mumble.
wowo the wig videos is very inspirating!
Olive i've never thank you to had explained me the crosses at paris convention so-->thnx a lot:)
About the 3:any variation?

"I don't like 4 staff shower .. find it pointless, fountain looks so much better"
olive you are mental and need serious professional help!?!?!?!?
the staff shower created by antti is my favourite pattern by far,to me it make perfect sense as a peice of FIREstaff juggling,it has also gone down well everytime ive performed it which means a lot in my eyes
bastl,i have tried reversing the shower but it breaks my heart because it is such as head wrecker,to reverse the pattern would be stunning but for me impoossible.
as for the new stuff,its throws and catches with my feet in a similar style to (although a much lower level)some of my favourite club jugglers,inside and outside catches,flick-ups,and a few two staff variations,i have set my trousers on fire and my shins are bruised but its good for my shoulder and should be a good crowd pleaser,
i will post a vid on here asap

yep!
you were training the outside cascade(hope the name is correct) and then i bored you with the question:"can you teach me how to.."
i want it all!
i would try the 2 crosses "simple"and then--->4shower or perheps 4444 ti hink it can work!
Tim i'm trying the same,catch with feet
now i can do just a feet throw to get from 2 shower staff to 3 shower but the catch itself ..hard!
Mstly(in my opinion) depends on:
-the staff(bamboo can be too elastic)
-the point you AIM to before catching.
Anyway i think that feet trhow and cach are more for street performance,shows and such events

I ve seen sebastian(fenfire)doing a lot qith feet..maybe he knows more about that:.
ok time to celebrate and get drunk,ciao!

Hi guys, I think this is in the right thread but pls forgive me if I'm wrong:
I want to go to the EJC this year in Athens but whether I go or not pretty much depends on how many staff jugglers are going / thinking of going so....
Hands up for the EJC 2007?

dunno if I'll be around yet .. I'll let you know soonish
but it's gonna be a hassle to juggle staff w/ 40/45°C .. I mean I tried it in portugal & italy and it was quasi impossible during daytime, so I hope they have good lighting indoor

Hmmm, Play / Paris are looking like more promising prospects at the moment (btw, the indoor hall IS air conditioned very nicely, saw a match there during the 2004 olympics Outside though, you have no chance).
Seb, we met at spitz and in Regent's Park. I'm Tommy (long black hair), you helped me out with my double fishtails (which are now down, working on variations) and I've known Dave for about 2ish years through his friend Liz.
Hope that helps

Hi,
I haven't registered for uber I don't know if it's too late already but it's still a possibility.
I'm just starting to get to grips with adding inverted and single propellors to my dual fishies.
I don't have a camera so I've missed THE vid (but I've got a lot of practice to do anyway!)
I think EJC is just after play, basically, I think I only have enough holiday to go to one big meeting this year and I want to pick the one with the most staff jugglers! Hence my question
I guess I should expand the question to:
Which meeting / convention are you guys going to this year ?

the world of juggling and spinning is coming closer and closer.. it will more and more inspire each other, it just takes time..maybe 3 more years...
