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 […]

SportJugglingCo

Thursday, January 18th, 2007

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 […]

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 […]

Still juggling

Friday, September 1st, 2006

Wow, havn’t blogged in a while.  Summer has been busy with visitors since I live in a vacation spot.  Haven’t juggled a lot either.  But that’s because I spend all my free time playing Oblivion.  Now I play it on the PC, bought a new one, top of the line parts, JUST to play this […]

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 […]

4 Club Progress Video

Friday, May 5th, 2006

Time for another video progress report.  I decided to just point my web cam out my window, so it’s really bad quality and it’s viewed through a screen.  I used Adobe Premiere Pro (tryout version) and it was much easier to splice things together.  Still, I’m no video directing expert.
Compared to my last 4 club […]

A New Way

Saturday, April 22nd, 2006

I’m still struggling with 3 club backcrosses.  So I’m trying a new practice technique to learn them.  I’m doing them one-sided (for example, all throws from my left hand as backcrosses, all right handed throws normal throws in front), then every once in a while, making the right-handed throw a backcross, all the while keeping […]

One at a Time

Wednesday, March 29th, 2006

So, even though I’m wasting a lot of time playing video games, I’m still squeezing in some 4 club practice. I’m finding that when it’s going really well, it feels like I’m only throwing one club at a time. When one hand is catching, the other is getting ready to throw, so I’m […]
