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 […]

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 […]

Tricked myself

Tuesday, July 11th, 2006

I haven’t juggled in about a week.  I went to practice my 5 club pattern and it went pretty well.  Then my brain stops working and it gets sloppy and I can do less catches per attempt.  But I can trick myself into qualifying by just telling myself "just do a flash", and that’s easy […]

Behind the back (not me)

Friday, June 30th, 2006

See how Dnaygs stands up straight?  I know he’s only juggling 3, but look how little he’s moving his arms during the basic 3 club pattern.  I’ve notice I’m always tipped backwards, especially for 4- and 5-club patterns.  And I think it’s because I wear glasses.  My stupid glasses don’t allow me to make my […]

5 Club Progress Video

Wednesday, June 14th, 2006

Today wasn’t the greatest day to film my 5 club progress, ’cause I sucked.  But anyway, I wanted to get this documented since I’m progressing quickly with it.  I’m hoping to be pretty solid at it soon.  I’ve only been able to juggle 5 clubs for a couple weeks now.  It just clicked recently.  But […]

18

Monday, June 12th, 2006

I watched this then automatically became a better juggler.
Made 18 catches of 5 clubs today.  I got too excited to keep going. 

Some Stuff

Saturday, June 10th, 2006

I’m up to a record 15 catches of 5 clubs.
I was watching some WJF videos and realized (before, but this time a lot more) that Vova’s arms are always at like a 90 degree angle.  I bet that makes for really consistent throws.  Mine are nearly straight out on every throw!  I’ve gotta keep my […]

5 Clubs, 10 Catches

Sunday, June 4th, 2006

But I dropped the 11th, 12th and 13th throws so I guess that’s not a true "qualify".  But anyway, my current record.

8 Catches of 5 Clubs

Saturday, June 3rd, 2006

I did that a couple times today.  One run was going so well that I almost qualified.  But I just couldn’t hold on to the last 2 catches.  Not far off now!

New World Record…

Thursday, June 1st, 2006

…in the parallel universe where I’m the only juggler!
My last record of 5 clubs was 6 catches.  Man, I’m so past that now.  New record: SEVEN CATCHES!
I decided to not concentrate so much on the flash and do the typical hobbyist thing of just trying for as many catches as possible with the inevitable all-clubs-on-the-ground […]
