I Got Hammered

Monday, October 31st, 2005

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 […]

Good Club Juggler

Wednesday, October 26th, 2005

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 […]

Ultra Leather Gballz

Wednesday, October 26th, 2005

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 […]

How to Drop 4 Clubs

Saturday, October 22nd, 2005

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 […]

Some Cool Siteswaps

Naked City Music Video

Tuesday, October 18th, 2005

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 […]

I am a juggling GOD today

Sunday, October 16th, 2005

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 […]

5 Ball Goal Achieved!

Sunday, October 16th, 2005

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 […]

New 4 Club Record! (again)

Friday, October 14th, 2005

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 […]

New 4 Club Record!

Thursday, October 13th, 2005

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 […]
