diablos are awesome, saw a few street performaers in bribane a while back they were incredible. juggled 3 diablos for a long time in very limited space! i was very impressed and it made me dig out my diablo again. except i cant find anywhere in this damn country to buy any more of the diablos from so i can learn to juggle em..........

i fail at juggling

by **CrazyAnglican** on Fri May 11, 2007 11:58 pm

Yeah the Chris Bliss video is cool. There is also a video called the Bliss diss that guy does Chris's entire routine with five balls instead of three.

This one is good as well, but a bit long.

I'm not sure I can do it well.

Body shots are just bouncing the ball off of different part of your body and then back into the pattern.

The full shower is throwing each ball up in an arc to your opposite hand, but then passing (or handing) them straight across from that hand. (ie you are really only throwing from one hand and the balls seem to travel in a circle instead of a figure 8 )

Half shower. Throw the balls high from one hand and low from the other it makes kind of a frown.

Cool! I always have trouble with the kittens they keep trying to land on their feet :wink:

by **2dimes** on Sat May 12, 2007 12:12 am

Nope, I can on occasion catch an object as well as sort of throw them.

Here's another cool video. This one is very short but he packs a lot into it.

I can do 4 balls, I can flash 5.

3 rings, 3 clubs. I can do a pretty crappy dia bolo

My best 3 ball trick remains Mills Mess which I learned about 5 years ago. I have tried learning Rubensteins revenge for a while but I can only add the 3rd ball for about 1/2 of a rotation.

I juggled a lot last spring, and not at all this year, so I'm probably not that close to learning RR any more either

by **CrazyAnglican** on Sat May 12, 2007 12:49 am

I just looked at Rubenstein's revenge. That looks tough I have no idea about that one. What is flashing five?

by **happy2seeyou** on Sat May 12, 2007 12:50 am

Back in the day I juggled three jobs and a boyfriend. lol

Oddly enough, so can I.

Granted, the kittens got pretty mangled the last time I tried it, but do you know how hard it is to actually cut a whisker with a flaming chainsaw?

"Flashing" means you can do the entire trick but only through one rotation.

So I can throw all 5 balls correctly for a basic fountain and catch them all correct. But I can't keep going so its not actually juggling 5.

You will see the term more commonly used in much higher numbers. World records exist for things such as flashing 13 (or however high they are now).

Does anyone contact juggle? I can do a bit.

Michael Moschen is the man when it comes to this as far as I'm concerned.
This video is way too short.

http://www.michaelmoschen.com/movies/player_light.html

by **sully800** on Sat May 12, 2007 12:45 pm

Yeah, Michael Moshen is insane for sure.

I've never tried contact juggling, though I used to hacky sack too so I'll sometimes let a ball drop to my feet, hack it for a while and go back to juggling. Not really contact though.

Has any heard of Michael Karas? Probably not, he's a young guy but pretty good. He goes to school with my sister so she told me about him and he has some fairly entertaining videos if you want to look him up.

This guy is so nonchalant in his delivery! Great stuff for three ball tricks.

i can juggle

by **funkeymunkey** on Wed May 16, 2007 8:38 pm

I suck at juggling. I once managed to get 1 ball going for a few seconds...

by **I GOT SERVED** on Wed May 16, 2007 8:40 pm

Lesse, I can juggle:

3 balls
Flash 4
3 rings

I just started clubs, so that's gonna be a challenge.

As for tricks, I can do body shots, under the leg, under the arm, half cascade, and jugglers tennis.

But my favorite trick is when I'm juggling fruit (preferably apples/pears) I put one fruit in my mouth, take a bite of it, and continue to juggle. That one normally impresses peoples.

As for contact juggling, I've tried it before. I can't do much, but It's pretty fun.
