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

Awesome, theme is 'spinnings for losers', I was going to try for a load of poi-style juggling moves but anything people fancy really. Help with the editing would be mint

I didn't manage to get anything filmed this week, I was busy having fun at Unity Day, but I'm heading up to the lakes this coming weekend so should be able to get some nice shots there.


Oooo, anyone contributing, could we have a silly shot of your face for the names bit, and maybe a bit of you spinning (to show we're not really haters)

Will try get something this weekend.

How do we get it to you hexagonic?

I can film some juggling.

Brill!

Ok, will you be filming in HD, or non? I assume you'll be filming in 1:33 aspect ratio (not widescreen)?

ping me when you've got the footage

I got new props this week

Meh. Cannae find my camera.

I will not be filming in hd nor in widescreen.

Well, in what I'm sure will only be round one of the bad karma from my 'terrible misdeed'©, my camera won't power up. I'll try and get it looked at asap but its going to delay my filming by a couple of weeks

whoop whoop, I can do kickups from 3 clubs into 4 clubs

Weird, I'm learning that too right now Point Blank... it would help me more if my 4 club was solid though lol.

Also, I got my second flash of 5 clubs this weekend, a few good runs of 4 clubs and uh.... Yeah.

That is all.

Just discovered Taylor Glenn.

Gotten re-inspired. I likes my claymotions.

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)

My most recent toss move that I have gotten down is backcrosses. I can't do too many yet, and I have only worked with balls, but I can do enough that at this point it is just practice.

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.

PPS Feast? Really? are the two passes to the same person, or do you switch people with every new pass?

Either way, sounds like fun.

If it wasn't obvious, I'm a huge fan of passing vs juggling alone, and also a huge fan of fun patterns with multiple people. I think the most interesting one I did (right before the injury) was to feed 2 people, 1 of whom was doing 3 count and 1 was doing PPS.
I also learned to feed 2 people each doing a 3-count with only my left hand.

Know whats fun for 2 folks with PPS, 1 throwing straight and 1 crossing, makes the pattern more wacky =).

I unfortunately have done nothing new in 2 weeks of juggling as I have a juggling related hand injury I'm healing from. Doc said that it could take a couple of days to a few weeks to start feeling better *sigh*.

Feel better soon! I too love passing.

But the coolest thing I have done is a 3 count typewriter feed with ultimates (I wasn't the feed though).

Yeah, I enjoy tough feeds, Gorilla feeding ftw.
The next one I really want to work on is a 10 club feed which is basically a 7 club singles feed where each feedee is only passing to one of my hands, and every throw I make is a pass to throw left hands.

Although honestly, now that I can feed two feedees a 3 count with my left hand.... maybe when my hand is better I can learn to feed 4 people all doing a 3 count with 1 hand for 2 people each.... That would be insane.

Both passes go to the same person, so it switches recipient every 3 beats. Going to try for the each pass to a different person soon though, but its going to get hard to follow. Will look real nice if you could run it!

trying to work conveyors into 441 too, at least half of one anyhows

also working on lots of contact into balances, northampton tom stylee - these are mostly from conveyors

i wholly agree with the '4 years of staff is good for something' comment

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.
