Why haven’t I been juggling?

Tuesday, April 17th, 2007

Reason number one: Lumines Live!
Reason number two: Guitar Hero 2
Currently I’m addicted to Guitar Hero 2.  I’m going to get that Buckethead song down on Expert for sure. 

Doubles

Sunday, April 1st, 2007

Okay, so 3 in doubles is pretty solid now.  So I moved on to 50505, and that was much easier since having more reliable double spins working.  It was too tempting not to move right on to 55550 and then just 5 after some rounds of 50505.  So I think 50505 is a good warm […]

Spring

Saturday, March 24th, 2007

Spring time is here.  I guess that means it’s time to practice juggling again!  I haven’t practiced in a long time.  I seem to work on my clubs more when I can juggle outside.
Back to 5 club practice.  I realize there’s something I can’t do, that I must be able to do, in order to […]

WJF Video Competition I

Thursday, February 8th, 2007

Here’s my entry for the WJF Video Competition 1, which ended today.  It was a "4 ball connection" competition.  You couldn’t do anything "basic" like fountan, half shower or wimpy pattern.  You had to connect patterns and had to repeat each one 2-3 times only.  You had to be a WFJ Silver member or better […]

SportJugglingCo

I just got seven 2-5/8" ultraleather juggling balls from www.sportjugglingco.com.  They are really good.  My last unltraleather balls were 2-1/2" GBallz.  The difference is mainly in, well the size, but really more in the way their made.  The GBallz are 4 panel (although, I think they make a 6-panel one now).  The Sport Juggling balls […]

7 Ball Flash, again

Wednesday, November 15th, 2006

I made two 7-ball flashes today.  So, that means I’ve made three 7-ball flashes since the dawn of time.  I’ve been working on 6-ball in 7-pattern since the last 7-ball flash I made and it’s really helping to get comfortable with 7.  It’s really tiring.  But it’s the only exercise I’m getting these days, so […]

7 Ball Flash Achieved

Yup.  First time ever, 30 seconds ago.
[EDIT: Sorry, not enough enthusiasm in this post… woo hoo!!] 

7777770

Thursday, November 2nd, 2006

On my way to learning 7 balls.  Skipping 6.  Did the same when going from 3 to 5.  Learned 4 after 5.  4 was easy then.  6 seems really hard right now, but 7 seems almost doable.  I can do this pretty frequently now: 7777770 flash

Reverse Backcrosses again

Sunday, October 1st, 2006

I’ve started back into practicing 3 club reverse backcrosses.  Some things just click after you spend time away from them.  I’ve been working on the 3 club pattern, but with two clubs, one throw being a reverse backcross, the other a normal front throw.  I can do that consistently, right side or left, whether I […]

I’m an actor

Saturday, September 23rd, 2006

Heh, I watched the WJF ‘05 Convention Video.  Pretty rough video.  But I like it since it’s a reminder of the time I had there.  It was weird seeing footage of some of those workshops.  And Jason gave me a "speaking part" … I was talking siteswaps with Vova in the 5 Club Moves […]
