Gnome's Juggling .GIFs (Inspired by O)

[thegnome54]

Oneironaut's awesome .gif collection inspired me to try to make loops of some of my juggling tricks. As you can see, I made one for my avatar. I'm planning on making a collection of my tricks, maybe even eventually one for every trick I know. I think this would be cool, for cataloging purposes. And they're fun to watch The one in my avatar is a trick called Mills Mess. It's one of the "big three" - that is, Mills Mess, Rubenstein's Revenge, and Burke's Barrage. Mills Mess is a big milestone for jugglers, it's a very fluid back-and-forth movement with arms crossing like nuts. Rubenstein's is one of the hardest three-ball moves I can do - Rubenstein's is to Mills as Mills is to the standard three-ball cascade (aka "normal" juggling ) Here's a .gif of me doing Rubenstein's. Not a perfect run, but good enough. This one's Burke's Barrage. I think it's slightly easier than Mills Mess, but it's just as much fun to do. Great rhythm. This .gif is of a trick called "factory", or "the machine". It's a big crowd favorite because it's not a trick you see every day, and it takes non-jugglers a while to figure out how the shuttle-drop-in move works. I'll make more later, especially if anyone's interested. *Edit* by the way, the reason the balls aren't as striking as they are in my avatar is that there is light coming in from outside, so they're not as relatively bright. I may eventually remake all of them during the night/evening, because they do look a lot nicer that way. I did burke's with one window closed off, so you can see the difference already.
