The very moment before launching into your most challenging ground-state, a challenging basic pattern that you haven't fully gotten down, and want to get it running, qualified or endured, what do you think, what do you intend, what do you try, what do you focus on?
Do you have a motto that you try to put into reality? Do you have a launching routine? Do you focus on a distinct #n.-th throw for the launch to succeed? Do you have a melody for your launch? Do you visualize the right height? Do you think of or visualize the crossing point? Do you prepare for your hands to do constant throwing in the right angle and-or scoop with the right amount of thrust from next moment on? Or do you relax and try to think nothing at all? Or do you do differently each time e.g. finetuning all the time?
Do you (also) think, those few milliseconds right before starting are crucial in a way? How do you get the start well?

This might seem odd, and I'll try to put it in as few words as possible, but I try to empty my head and mirror the mental state I am in when showing someone a trick I find easy like 3b Mills.It sounds a bit arrogant, but I just try to treat it mentally like I've already done it a hundred times before. Seems to help me :)
Mike Moore - - Vorredner #
When I practice, there's normally something I'm looking from in each of my attempts. Something like, "Avoid breaking plane with the second throw" or the like.
When going for performance, I normally focus on breathing and my starting hand/wrist position and visualizing the pattern I want to form.

Pirouettes! I can do 3up and 5 up pirouettes and a couple of variants, but would like to tidy up my technique. I already know that I will need to change the hand I start the throws with, I currently start right hand and spin left,trying to train my left hand starts and I can get the 3up from 5 so far. I'm not too bad at spotting them having had to train at it to stop spinning and throwing away the last ball.
My question is about feet! I currently set up right foot in front of left and spin on the heel of my left foot. Am I missing a trick here? Is it perhaps better to spin on the toes or even flat footed? I am looking to build up to 720s etc and would appreciate any advice you lovely edgers could give me on this!
Daniel Simu - - Vorredner #
Hi Lou,
I'm far from an expert, but here are my opinions and beliefs:
Don't change the starting hand. What you're saying makes sense, I myself start left and spin left. I've always recommended this order to others. However, the more I watch people who are actually really good at pirouettes, the more it seems that they start with their favorite hand, even if they have to spin the "wrong" way around!
For example Lauge Benjaminssen spins "wrong". In the time of the AGschool I talked with Gatto about this and he wished for me to switch spinning direction, and absolutely start with my dominant hand. I did not change my spinning direction, as I also need this direction for acrobatic moves.
As for the feet:
Definitely on the toe! By bending (minimally) both the ankle and the knee you can correct your balance mid-spin, which becomes very useful for double or especially triple spins. If you already remove the ankle joint from the range you have to work with the knee and the hip, which breaks the alignment of your upper body.
In general with pirouettes, body tension is key. Lock the second leg to the first after the push off.
Good luck :)
Brook Roberts - - Vorredner #
Interesting that you've said this. I've always gotten the impression that toe was easier, but heel was faster and potentially better if you were serious about doing lots of spins.
Patrik Elmnert and Ofek Snir both do heel, right? And Patrik has done 1440s at least, and Ofek all the things, and certainly Patrik strikes me as someone who thinks a bit about movement.
Little Paul - - Vorredner #
I thought it was the other way around, in that heel is easier but toe is more efficient.
Have you tried asking someone who knows a lot about pirouettes in general such as a dancer or ice skater?
Brook Roberts - - Vorredner #
I asked a bit about it with a dancer when I was learning a long time ago, although it was only a bit to do with technique of spins on the ball of the foot (I'm presuming that's what everyone here means when they are saying toe?!).
I've never been particularly keen doing spins with juggling, although I have started doing them more relatively recently. But I'm pretty sure I'm not keen enough to consider switching technique! (which I might consider if I was going to have serious goes at 720s).
Of course, toe feels easier for me currently because that's what I learnt!
As for dancers, it's all very well asking them for general technique tips but they don't just go for all out speed, they have to look good. They also tend to do the toe- heel acceleration theing, not just pushing off very hard at the start. I'd say the heel must be faster because the area of contact is smaller. Or rather, your speed lasts longer. And Ofek definitely has the fastest spin :P

Jugglers have to look good too. Otherwise what's the point?
Indeed, Anthony Gatto has said that he never bothered with more than one spin because audiences could rarely tell the difference between a single/double/triple etc.
When I was performing a diabolo act as a teenager I used to do a lot of pirouettes in my routine both singles & doubles, but in the end stopped doing doubles because I felt a slow controlled single looked much better than a fast double & the higher risk of stumbling out of a double wasn't worth the risk.
As a wannabe dancer I also recommend spinning on the ball of one foot, bend at the knees to lower your body & keep your core tight for a more controlled spin. Remember slowing down at the end of the spin is just as important as speeding up into the spin.
lukeburrage - - Vorredner #
I do a double pirouette in my diabolo act. It gets a big reaction because I do a series of single pirouettes before it, and then throw lower and spin way faster. Also, if I'm doing it as part of my theatre show, I tell people what I just did, which always helps people notice a hard trick.
Elsewhere someone said learn pirouettes without juggling. I say learn double pirouettes while throwing a single object. I find it really helps me spot where I should be stopping on the second spin. Without throwing a diabolo up, or any other object, I lose my balance when doing double pirouettes and fall over. While juggling clubs or with a diabolo? Way easier.
The art of spotting is much different for dancers than for jugglers; therefore Luke's advice on beginning with a single prop rather than practicing without any props. This is because dancers are trained to "spot" on a fixed point (I don't do pirouettes while juggling having trained to do them in ballet) but I'm reliably informed that this is not the done thing while juggling.
Mike Moore - - Vorredner #
"Jugglers have to look good too. Otherwise what's the point?"
I'd agree with you if you'd said performers, instead of jugglers. While aesthetics is on the list of things I value when coming up with new patterns (or learning existing ones), it's pretty low on the list.
mike.armstrong - - Vorredner #
Maybe we have a different idea of aesthetics for juggling. By "look good" I didn't necessarily mean pointy-toes and graceful movement - but juggling, like dance, is essential a visual art/sport/hobby. It should look as you intend it to look.
If you're not thinking about how it looks then, IMHO, you're doing it wrong. You can make it look grungy and clumsy if you like, but you need to make it look like something!
The start of this thread drew a contrast between juggling and dance. Dancers are not all performers.
Imagine the street dancer who simply wants to nail that next trick.
Imagine the salsa dancer who only goes to the club to chat to her friends at the bar, but has a couple of dances anyway.
Imagine the beginner ballroom who only starts taking classes when they retire.
Imagine the child's ballet class where most will give up before they're out of primary school.
None of them are performers, but they should all care about how they look. Just like the numbers/siteswap juggler, or the tea-drinker at the juggling club, or the struggling beginner at their first convention, or the enthusiastic kid who'll either quit or be doing 7 balls next time you see them.
Performers have a duty to their audience to "look good" by the standards of their stage character, but everyone else should aspire to look good by their own standards, otherwise they may as well not bother.
Mike Moore - - Vorredner #
Hmm, I'm still not convinced by this. When you say, "everyone else should aspire to look good by their own standards," why do you think that this is truly necessary? Would you say the same thing about a baseball player, practicing their swing? If we think about a context where juggling is being practiced solely as a sport, why shouldn't that numbers/siteswap/technical juggler ignore how they look?
Personally, I think it comes down to who one juggles for. If you're juggling to entertain, enthuse, or potentially even impress, then yes, I agree with you that aesthetics are important to consider. What if you're only juggling for fitness? Or because it feels good? Or because you have an irrational drive to juggle 10 balls? In those situations, I don't see the necessity of considering aesthetics.
In essence, while I understand that for many people, "juggling, like dance, is essential a visual art/sport/hobby," I don't see that as a completely necessary consideration.
Lou Duncan - - Vorredner #
Ball of the foot is more accurate yeah :) I have had similar chats with dancers about this and one of them flat out said that she could help me all the way down to my knees and below that I was on my own. Again their focus was more on posture and spotting and they stayed away from the topic of spinning quickly, the focus seeming to be on stability.
Lou Duncan - - Vorredner #
Hi Paul, I've asked a couple of dancers but now that you mention it, an ice skater would maybe have the greater insight.
I must go and seek some out!
Daniel Simu - - Vorredner #
I've never seen a dancer spin on their heel, which makes even more sense for them than for a juggler: Most jugglers put their push off feet in front of their standing leg, so they push backwards. This because you want to open your upper body upwards so you can spot props better. Most dancers start with their push off leg in the back, which would make it awkward to spin on your heel.
Lou Duncan - - Vorredner #
Wow! I didn't realise how split the opinions would be! I have a bit of a background in pirouettes as I have been a skateboarder over 15 years and I love freestyle/flatground tech. I can typically spin 5-10 rotations on the back wheels but the weight is directly over the arches of my feet to keep my weight centred relative to the board.
I have screws holding my left ankle together and really that's probably why I spin on the heel so far, as it has minimalised any tweaks whilst I was recovering.
I have definitely found heel spinning to be harder to stabilise if the spin goes off, but when I see some of the stuff ofek does it makes me wonder if I should maybe do some core strengthening. I think I am quite happy spinning 'wrong' although I would ideally like to be comfortable with both. I will definitely keep your comments in mind for practice tonight :)
It depends how much time you want to spent on them, if you work on them a LOT then spin on your heel- it's faster, but much harder. If you don't practice them a lot spin on your toe- it's easier but slower. As for which hand you start with, I'd change- errors are less likely in my opinion. Practice spinning on it's own a lot too- get your 720s solid before adding juggling (they are much harder, I can get loads of 5b three ups in a run, but 720s are killer).
Hope this helps.
Lou Duncan - - Vorredner #
Thanks man, I'm going to really try to experiment with them and find out which is better for me. I'm going to keep practicing both left and right hand though because I want back to back 5ups, in the distant, distant future:)
i´m not much of a 360 juggler, but here are some of my opinions and maybe other oppinons i know of. i can do shitloads of 1 devilstick 1 up connected 360s with horrible pirouette form (my non turning foot in front of the other before starting, spinning on my toes, not giving a shot about straight joints or body tension and using way to much power with is fine with me since i do this trick with a horrible form for so long and it´s super save. If i try to do harder pirouettes (2Devilstick or 3 Balls (yes i know a 3 ball 360 isn´t a super hard trick but i still struggle to do it) i prefer to start with my feet paralell turning to the right on my left foot starting the throw with my dominant (left) hand and focussing on "throw, look, spin, look, catch, keep juggling" and keeping my body tension. i feel like paralell feet + toes is the ideal way for me but i also think we should not forget that all bodys are different. If you like spinning a certain way maybe it´s because your body has a perfect psysique for this kind of spin.
When it comes to dancers i think if your goal is to just throw spin catch they can´t help. I mean they know a lot about turning on a spot and body stuff but having to keep track of several objects (look up instead of focussing a point in front of you as they like to do) as well as beeing forced in a certain arm position to keep juggling just makes all their pirouette theory pretty useless for "non dance jugglers". The other thing is that do use advise from dancers you need to train dance in order to be able to use it. A ballet teacher could propably tell you to relax this, tighten that, move your foot to this position, keep breathing, focus on your core etc but without ballettraining you won´t be able to actually follow or understand the instructions. On the other hand most jugglers who really learned to dance have so many movement options that you rarely see them working o 360s but instead they just dance all the time while juggling and if they want to do a 360s they rather choose how to move based on ästetics rather than efficency
Oscar Lindberg - - Vorredner #
I'm not an expert at all either, but today (after reading your thread) I tried spinning 720's on my heel instead of my toes.
I found it a lot easier. A 720 on my heel felt almost like a 360 on my toes (read almost...). I wasn't sure if I really had spun a 720 or if it was a 360.
Now, I didn't practice this for very long, but my first impression is that the heel is better than toes for fast 720+ spins. (At least for me.
And the toes are better for slower controlled 360's. (For me.)
Earlier today I watched some different techniques on YT. I found it very worthwhile/educational (don't know the right word).

Student Success!
I've been coaching a young juggler (recently turned 10) for a while now, and today he qualified 5 balls for the first time! He was having trouble stopping at the right time (kept getting 9 catches) so it was my job to say "stop" when it was time to start collecting. Clearly I did a poor job, as his first qualify was 12 catches clean.
Not only that, he was really looking like a good juggler today. Very few random drops, and showed me a ~90 second act he wanted to do in our group performance...and did it dropless. I couldn't be more proud.
Daniel Simu - - Vorredner #
Sounds great! I would have wished for a coach like you at that age :p
Lou Duncan - - Vorredner #
I dread to think how crazy your slam tricks would be today if you did:)
Hi guys!
I've just joined the edge and have been juggling for about ten months (I'm 14).
I guess I'm a little bit of a fanatic as I practice 2-3 hours a day, have a practice schedule for all three props and have a spreadsheet of my goals for anywhere in the next two years and how far I am from getting them as a percentage (Idea courtesy of Heydar).
I currently only practice technical/numbers juggling as I am not creative or patient whatsoever. Also, If anyone has any advice on 5 clubs It would be appreciated.
Austin
James Hennigan - - Vorredner #
Your records are really impressive for someone who's been juggling for ten months. Keep it up!
Hi Austin, welcome to the Edge.
I find it strange that you don't think technical juggling requires patience. I think that's probably an age thing.
Do you have a video of your 5 club juggling we could take a look at?
Not a recent one, only a two month old one of a horrible flash. I'll take one soon.
As for patience, I guess it's more that I don't feel much reward in learning for example, the upside-down box (I got bored at 4 rounds). I also get bored very quickly watching creative videos; so I end up only watching Insanely hard technical videos to inspire me.
Oscar Lindberg - - Vorredner #
Hi Austin, I'm also 14 :)
Practicing 5 clubs after 10 months... that is very impressive I must say. And upside down box too, I gotta learn that :D
I'm more of a ball juggler - as I don't really have space to juggle clubs (especially not numbers).
And to answer your question: No, I'm pretty sure you aren't, but you can always upload it somewhere else and post a link to it.
Welcome to the Edge!
Hey!
I've watched your videos and your balls stuff is really good! Yeah the upside down box... Is too hard to be worth learning it in my opinion. It looks amazing though.
Lou Duncan - - Vorredner #
Hey Austin welcome to the edge:) See, when you say that it looks amazing, is that not a good reason to do it? Or do you see juggling as more of a sporting challenge for yourself? I have a friend who is very like that!
I mean it looks amazing to the spectator, not the juggler. That's why I stopped practicing it.
Oscar Lindberg - - Vorredner #
WOOOOOW maaan!! Your records!!!!! I don't know what to say...
Oscar Lindberg - - Vorredner #
Well, I'm still very, very impressed :) I've juggled for 2 years and you do a lot of things much better than me. One thing I think I made ""wrong"" (not wrong, but could have done earlier) was that I never structured my practice sessions until recently. I always went out just to throw some balls. :D
Keep it up!! (although I'm a little jealous....c:)It's always fun to have people in the same age here in the community
This is correct you can't upload videos to the Edge. There's no way I will be able to do a better job than juggling.tv, Youtube or Vimeo.
In that case, how do you sign up to jtv? I tried but I don't know what the verification code is.
Thanks
The verification code is in the email you were sent by JTV. Check your spam folder if you can't immediately see it.
Hello, welcome to The Edge.
Glad to hear you've discovered and are enjoying juggling. Keep 'em up!
But just a quick note to say... There are more than 3 props. :-)
Cheers!
Now amended! (5 ball bounce)
Did this months ago, I hate bouncing.
As for other props... I tried diabolo and didn't like it and most other props you can't do 5-7 of :)
Little Paul - - Vorredner #
I've seen some lovely 5 cigar box tricks.
Don't let Void bully you into changing direction just yet. There's plenty of time for that later when you get bored with clubs/rings/balls :)
Stephen Meschke - - Vorredner #
Optimum training time is 90 minutes, wait minimum of 4 hours between training sessions.
Based on the records you have entered, I advise you train the following patterns:
Day A: 6 ball and 4 club focus
Day B: 7 ball and 5 club focus
Give 5 clubs a break while you increase your general skill level.
James Hennigan - - Vorredner #
'Optimum training time is 90 minutes'
Where does this come from?
Nice tips!
Although a couple of points/questions;
Why stop 5 clubs not 7 balls? My 5 clubs is better than my 7b.
Also, 'warmup, jumprope' I can't see how it would help- I used to practice pirouhettes a LOT, but I stopped because they were tiring me for the hardest part of the session, 6-7b, 5c and 5-6r. I now warmup with gentle, 3-4b and 3 clubs and rings and I always perform better near the end of the sesssion.
Thanks
Stephen Meschke - - Vorredner #
I started 5 clubs too soon and developed bad habits.
Jumprope helps me prepare for juggling both mentally and physically. My juggling sessions start much better if I warmup by jumping rope. I used to warmup with 3-4b, but it was time consuming and I don't like juggling <5 balls.
What do you think of varying 3c (high, wide, define doubles & triples well), doing 4c siteswaps with 5-es, and all of what you proposed, which is directly related to 5c, in order to push 5c groundstate first?
I know, that is why I spent a month working on that (5 club exercises) before starting to practice 5. I still spend more time on exercises for 5 clubs than 5 clubs itself, but I always do about 30 runs of 5 as well.
Also, when doing exercises fo 5c, I never try for endurance, I aim for perfect timing, height, spin and club angle.
On a side note, I read Laido Dittmar's book recently and found some really useful tips for maximum progress.
Lou Duncan - #
I filmed a bunch of more unusual tricks with 3 to 5 balls and thought I'd share it with the good people at the edge. http://juggling.tv/15683
Any questions or comments would be greatly appreciated, there are a couple of tricks I don't know the siteswap for, like the 4 ball Davids dilemma, so I'd be really grateful if someone could help me with that trick in particular. I can't seem to make it add up, because I'm stupid.
Cheers and hope you enjoy.
Oscar Lindberg - - Vorredner #
Oooowww man! Awesome stuff. Many tricks I have never seen before.
Very creative, inspiring stuff. I want to learn clawed 423 so badly.. And that start on the arm with 5 balls was really cool.
Oscar Lindberg - - Vorredner #
Could the 4 ball Davids dilemma be (8x,6)(0,2x)?
Lou Duncan - - Vorredner #
Cheers Oscar:) I've been obsessed with the 423 with false throws since I watched a Tim Kelly video with him doing a forked /clawed 423 combination, I still can't do it, and I seen the video about 7 or more years ago :) I thought it was that siteswap but I wasn't sure, I can't picture it well enough to say.
Oscar Lindberg - - Vorredner #
Haha that sounds cool
Check this out: https://juggle.wikia.com/wiki/David's_dilemma
But it looks like you have your own touch to it (?). Looks like you do it faster or something.
Lou Duncan - - Vorredner #
Actually I just checked the wiki page and there's an animation of that siteswap, it's not the same as mine as every ball in the shower is passed under the middle ball with the middle ball remaining the same throughout in the one I did in the video. The animation shows the middle ball changing every couple of throws.
Oscar Lindberg - - Vorredner #
Oh I didn't see you replied. Yeah that's true.
Oscar Lindberg - - Vorredner #
Seems like you do the 3 ball version but with 4?
noslowerdna - - Vorredner #
Yes or alternatively (ax,4)(0,2x)
Lou Duncan - - Vorredner #
I think you could be spot on there thanks again :)
Strong. Queer penguin-splits. Awesome [2T3456]-launch into cascade!
What's that 'rubenstein-weaver' at 2:14 to 2:21? I like that, its flow!
Liked the 5b split-variations towards end of vid!
Lou Duncan - - Vorredner #
Thanks very much for having a look, the penguin thing is just called pingu in my notebook, because it's claymotion with penguins, the rubinsteins one is the inverse, the u ball is thrown on top instead of underneath, if that makes sense to you :) I should really work on the actual video making part I realise, I tend to just shove a camera down and go..
Some juggling out in the snow! :) Please let me know what you think!
https://youtu.be/2gHsEp6tT_Y
Lou Duncan - - Vorredner #
Nice gentle style and smooth patterns, keep it up :)
Bet it was freezing on the hands though..
Oscar Lindberg - - Vorredner #
Thank you sir!
It was freezing cold. Probably under -6 for a while when I shot it ;) But I wasn't out for too long.. At least I wore gloves..In some clips
What brilliant colors, also, and nicely caught winter-atmosphere! Good, vivid filming with slowmo, perspective change, intro-outro, counter-sun, and all.
Oscar Lindberg - - Vorredner #
Thank you very much! It's much easier to make a good looking video when the days are beautiful. The snow makes good light too :)

Hey juggles:) I'm having trouble getting on to juggling.TV on my phone, I keep getting a message up saying; 'Could not connect to mysql! Please check your database settings' and I can't seem to find the problem, wondering if anyone is in the same boat or has an idea of how to sort it? I've tried uninstalling apps and redownloaded everything, no joy yet.
Was down last night due to webhost issues. It's been fixed since 01:00 today, you're getting a cached page. Just refresh, that should do it.
Lou Duncan - - Vorredner #
Thanks for that:) I haven't been back on in a bit so I didn't see you had answered me :)
Daniel Simu - - Vorredner #
Could you specify "best"?
Daniel Simu - - Vorredner #
Which aspects make a juggler good? I know this is an endless discussion, but some direction can make deciding who is "best" easier...
Are you good when you have an enjoyable act? Or when you are technically strong? Or when you have a big influence on the scene?
For me it would help to know what interests the topic starter most.
Lmao. People in this thread getting butthurt about the definition of "best".
-Falco
-Komei Aoki
-Masaki Hirano
-Kouta Ohashi
-Sean McKinney
-Gustaf Rosell
-Tim Kelly
-Chris Bliss
I know I'm forgetting someone, damnit.
Lou Duncan - - Vorredner #
I don't know about "best". I think it's pretty hard to find an objective way of defining that. I'd say my favourites are maybe:
1.Kohei Yamashita
2.Falco Scheffler (spelling?)
3.Masaki Hirano
It changes around a bit depending on what I'm aspiring to at the time, but Kohei is too fluid to ever dislike:)
1. Komei Aoki
2. Falco
3. Michael Menes
I love the classics, though, so I'd also list Bobby May, Kris Kremo, Michael Moschen, and Peter Davison
Mike Moore - - Vorredner #
Hmm, why Kohei? I can only find a handful of videos of his, and most are pretty old. I enjoyed his routine from three years ago, but I'd need to see more before putting him in a favourites list. Is there more somewhere?
In terms of pattern/trick generation and raw difficulty, Michael Falkov is the highest on my list. For pattern generation/difficulty of box patterns, it's Murakami Tsubasa. It's a shame neither are particularly active anymore.
For naaasty body throws, there's a guy whose name slips my memory right now...he's bald and has super-long dwell time. Paul Lind and Dave Kelly should get mentions, too, as 3b jugglers that I think are too good (but I don't do enough body throws to really enjoy).
Lou Duncan - - Vorredner #
He isn't particularly prolific it's true, but I really like his attitude and style, and his contrast between flowing frontal tricks and odd body throw and stall combos. I just find him a pleasure to watch! I really like some of the classic Kris kremo stuff but it's not the type of juggling I aspire to so much right now. Dave Kelly has some brain hurtingly cool body throws but I've never seen him doing much of the frontal tricks, I just find that Kohei has a good balance between the two :) there's a couple of names mentioned that I haven't seen before so perhaps I will have a different view in future!
Mike Moore - - Vorredner #
Yeah, he certainly has great diversity in his repertoire! If you're looking for Paul Lind, I recommend 3 balls, a couch and Van Gogh:
https://youtu.be/IILkJMTss-U
noslowerdna - - Vorredner #
Inspiration for years...
noslowerdna - - Vorredner #
Lucas Adverse has a similar style with that sort of contrast / balance. Also andReas423ele although he is a club juggler.
Daniel Simu - - Vorredner #
Okay, instead of "best" (since I don't know what that means) I'll list my all time favorites:
Michael Menes
Stefan Sing
Lou Duncan - #
Some of you have probably seen this before, but I wanted to share my 3 ball hero with anyone who hasn't!
Mike Moore - - Vorredner #
Really great. Worth watching a second time. It's fun to see how certainly videos hold up to the test of time.
It's good stuff. But is 3 years really "the test of time"?
Here's a vid from 2006 that Lou (and others) might like:
http://juggling.tv/1353
And one from 2003:
http://juggling.tv/3956
Mike Moore - - Vorredner #
Three years is about 10 3b years. People make new, great stuff so fast! Just like how a few years ago diabolo really got pushed.
Dave Kelly's videos have certainly aged...when the first came out, I couldn't watch them. They were so unreasonably beyond other stuff I'd seen (and what I was capable of) that they always made me sad. Chris Hodge's were the same way, for a while. I can at least watch Dave Kelly's videos now, and not be sad.
noslowerdna - - Vorredner #
Excellent stuff.
Very nice, thanks for sharing! This makes me think that maybe I should learn more 3 ball tricks... (I usually juggle clubs.)
Lou Duncan - - Vorredner #
As someone who has fallen down the 3 ball hole I can only recommend that!
pumpkineater23 - - Vorredner #
Great! I particularly like his video of pure body tricks (the one with the helmets).

Hello everyone! Filmed a few more tricks at Glasgow juggling club this week, there's a couple of unknown siteswap tricks with 5 balls at the start and I was wondering if anyone could help with figuring them out?https://youtu.be/y8aOD1nSVOo
I've also noticed that the text seems to interfere with the music, no idea why but I'm just going to put the siteswap in the description from now on, any comments or criticism welcome!
1: 96622 (anywhere you do a spin holding two balls is going to be a 22 basically)
2: I think this might be 6 834 4
3: Looks like not a valid siteswap to run with 5 (i.e. You won't be able to do more than 1 round of it without adjust throw heights).
Lou Duncan - - Vorredner #
Thanks for looking into it! I've been told that the first one is 7792244, but I feel that you could be right about not being able to run the other one, I'll be trying to figure out how to make it fit together next week :)
