I juggled hammers for Bup’s movie this weekend. I also juggled stuff on a tiki-lit deck at Toast’s Halloween party. One of my clubs now has lipstick on it. I think it’s because jugglers are irresistable to women, or lipstick-wearing men, or because I dropped a club on someone’s face who was wearing lipstick at […]

This kid is really good: click here
I want to be able to do everything in this video someday, but I have a feeling the 360’s I’ll never be able to do, since I’m not a young whipper snapper anymore and spinning around makes me sick. I just tried it. 3 spins without juggling. That was […]

Just received my new set of Ultra Leather "Elite Series" beanbags from Gballz. They are black, 2.75" @ 125g, got 7 of them. They feel really nice. They seem like they need to be broken in a bit, seem a little stiff, but we’ll see. I had the same feeling with brand new Ultra Suedes […]

Here’s my practice video from today. I thought it looked so peaceful outside so I threw some classical music on this one. Doesn’t match the juggling at all, plus it’s not really peaceful classical. It’s the 4 Seasons, Summer, Presto. Again, another poorly made video. But I want to document where I’m at right now […]

I decided to try video taping myself. It’s good to see yourself practice. I can see a whole bunch of things I’m doing wrong and need to work on. Here, I’ll let you see some of it. Click on this attractive picture of me…
It’s a 12MB mpg file. I don’t have the tools I […]

Not only did I make my original 5 ball goal of 100 catches, I just did a bunch of clean 3 club backcrosses. I’ve been practicing the backcrosses for awhile now on and off, but have never been able to do a run of them together. And today I did a bunch of 3-to-5 catch […]

Just made 103 catches of a 5 ball cascade (siteswap 5). Today it felt so easy to do 5. I think I’m over the hump. I now consider myself a "5 ball juggler". I passed my last record of 75 catches and thought "cool, goin’ for 80," but it was going so well I just […]

Today I made 52 catches of 4 clubs! It’s starting to really feel 2nd nature. And I only had to walk across half my front lawn this time.
I also matched my 5 ball record twice! 75 catches. Just couldn’t manage to keep it together enough to pass it, but it was nice to […]

44 catches of 4 clubs. I felt like I could control the whole pattern better. It’s finally getting comfortable. But I still had to walk across my whole front lawn to do it, making saves, etc. Not real pretty. Someday I’ll be able to do it standing still! I warmed up with 4440 and 0444 […]
