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

I think it is, but Uber Seal hasnt seen you do it

I actually tried to do it, and managed two take-outs.

Boo for being rusty.

how many catches does it take to qualify a pattern?

muchos gracias! i knew it was here somewhere. I thought it was hands x number of objects. i did 10 catches of 4b mills earlier, hurrah, i can juggle!!

4bmills mess annoys me, one day I can run it solid, the next I cannot get 20 catches. Awkward...

no..its not on both sides.

i learned a new trick this week, yoyo circles

im hapy, just need to tidy it up a little now

I'm learning to juggle three balls at the moment, thanks to Mr Lemonkey...

So far I can manage:

3b:

Half shower
'tennis' or whatever it's called,
Columns
Plus adding in all the chest rolls, armrolls, head/cradle catches that I could already do...

Up to six ball or six ring passing

I got a long way to go yet...

Currently not really working on anything new, but a mate showed me a couple of little things which are good for learning control so I'm practising those, and also trying to get my throws much more consistent.

I just learnt three ball romeo's revenge... well i think I did. I can't seem to find any videos on the internet of it that actually work. Could someone please give me a link.

Also I managed yesterday to do 74 catches of 5 ball, but I have to wait a couple of days before i try 5 ball again or i cant juggle it at all. I havent got a clue why.

Then again, I do have too much time on my hands being a thirteen year old.

Tis very helpful.

Romeo's Revenge

Thanks Lemonky.

Im definately not juggling any of those patterns. Mine doesnt look anything like a rubensteins revenge, which those patterns do. I'm confused. I learnt it from Charlie Dancey's Encyclopaedia of Ball juggling, the edition where romeo's revenge was first added. Could you help me work out whats wrong!?

Edit: I want to get it right for tomorrow, im going to a convention in notts. I wasnt sure if a thirteen year old doing 4b mills mess would be impressive enough.

Argh, my java is broken and I don't know why!

I have java enabled and everything. I love that site but I can't view any of the animations anymore. v__v

I havent been yet hexagonic; its between 2 and 10 at notts university, and im going at three.
Also, back on the topic of romeos revenge, is it meant to look like a chop to the right before throwing from the chop in claw, then chopping on the right again and doing a little flourishy thing similar to burkes barrage, then you repeat it on the other side? I've got an hour to find out! The thing that I listed above ive got solid, well over 100 catches. Not bad to say I learnt it yesterday. But is it even right!?

Edit: did the pattern I just desribed make sense to anyone?

EditEdit: does anyone know wher i can find a video for a shower explosions?

I saw that kid at bristol doing 5, he was awesome! his mate could do four and they were passing clubs at one point. He was about 6 but it was quite gratifying that he came up to me and asked me to show him some 3b tricks coz he didnt know many bless!

after actual practice i got chops, the bane of my juggling existance! chops doesnt feel all that nice, not compared to 4b mills or rubensteins but i got it so i'm happy
