Who else here juggles? How many can you juggle?

 

[KJiptner]

I can only do 3 Balls and a few basic tricks.

 

[Erik]

I can juggle. I can do some tricks with 3 balls. And I can a bit with 4 balls too.


note. you can read 'cubes' where you see 'balls' if you like...

Juggling

Can anyone else here juggle? I'm starting to notice a lot of cubers can juggle, thats what I did before i started cubing.

 

[d4m4s74]

I can juggle, a bit
just a few tricks and of course the normal cascade

 

[mande]

I'm learning juggling now. As of now I can only juggle 3 balls, inner cascade reverse cascade, shower, mill's mess, overarm throws and some more basic stuff.

 

[MTGjumper]

I can juggle quite well: 5 ball, 4 clubs, loads of 3 ball tricks and some nice passing. As a matter of fact, I went to a juggling convention with another user on this forum last week (msemtd).

I can juggle 3 balls but nothing special, a few tricks here and there. I can do clubs too but not consistently, I normally drop one after about 10 catches or so.

Well, yeah, I guess I have to say something.

For one thing, I have this :

But more seriously, here is my personal records page:

I'm pretty good at ball juggling; I've done it for many years. I've done a little with clubs, but I'm not very good at it - I can do 4 clubs for very short runs, but it's pretty shaky. I got my clubs just a year or so before I started cubing, and cubing kind of distracted me from practicing juggling as much. Someday I'm sure I'll come back to the juggling.

 

[Gparker]

mike, your too good at this kind of stuff happy birthday as well

 

[MatsBergsten]

Yes, but only with three balls and with three clubs. On the other hand I've done three balls for two hours once and over an hour several times. Amongst them a world record of juggling and reciting pi decimals.

And talking of pi, may I join in congratulations to Mike. Birthday on Pi Day!!!
(He as well as I have a history of reciting pi decimals). That's a little magic!

 

[speedcuber1355]

I know the 3 ball: Cascade, reverse cascade, shower, half-shower, mill's mess, boston mess, 441, box
4ball: fountain..
12ball: shower jk

 

[speedcuber1355]

o and i can do continous backcrosses, then i started cubing

 

[KubeKid73]

I can juggle. Maybe with 4 if I had higher ceilings. Lol.

 

[Mike Hughey]

How is it that people just toss in "and I can do continuous backcrosses", like it's nothing? The most I've ever done is something like 20. 7 balls is much easier for me than 3 ball continuous backcrosses. I find continuous backcrosses really difficult - I've spent a lot of time practicing them, and they're still very shaky.

 

[Dene]

I can juggle, I learnt long ago. I always liked juggling with rings as they are easier to grab I think.

 

[EmersonHerrmann]

Since I can't catch with my right hand...maybe I'll learn one-handed juggling

 

[daniel0731ex]

i can juggle 3 cubes...but i only have 2 cubes

 

[d4m4s74]

I'd like to see someone juggle two balls and a cube and solving the cube while juggling it

 

[qqwref]

I can juggle a bit... still pretty consistent with the standard 3 ball cascade, but I used to be able to get ~30 catches of 5 balls and do a bunch of patterns (mills mess, columns things, up to 5 ball shower, etc). I invented a 4 ball columns pattern where the balls keep changing places (siteswap 444453 for those who are interested) but it was too tough for me to do more than two or three rounds of, oh well

As with most things, of course, I ended up getting as interested in the math than actually DOING juggling. So I learned about siteswap notation in all its forms, and I think I found a bunch of really cool patterns that I could get the juggling computer simulators to do. I still have a page of juggling animations somewhere.
