Listen to what gnome says - don't juggle with tennis balls. They will piss you off to no end because you'll be dropping them and chasing after them each time. Pretty much the only reason learning the cascade took me more than a day to learn. |

I made a new thread for this because I was worried that the copious amounts of .gifs in my .gif thread would slow down the video for some people. |

Nice, jhnnyman! You should try to learn Burke's, it's one of the most fun tricks to do in my opinion. Especially if you can already do mills mess and rubensteins, orbit or even just crossed-arms, it's only a little step farther. |
|
Awesome, Gnome! Thanks a ton! I'm downloading this so I can watch it as many times as I need to learn it, once I get home and find something to juggle. |
|
I am trying to learn Burke's, well it's just hard to wrap my mind around it. But meanwhile that damn 2-ball Terrorist is distracting me (google it), it's incredibly annoying that I can't do a 2-ball trick =P |
|
Will do! I can't wait to go ball up some socks...or something. |
|
Yeah, haha I love that move! It's great practice for four and five ball speeds. I did it for a few seconds in the two-ball section of my 'hardest tricks' video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UzNSvakq7q8) |
|
What's really nuts, is there's a reason it's called the "two ball" terrorist... there's a three ball version! |
|
gnome, that's a really good tutorial! And you're nice to look at too |
|
Thanks, Burns! |

This is awesome. I can't wait to post a video. I'm having a lot of trouble doing three continuously. So, from the third time you throw a ball and onward, you throw it during that small amount of time before the last one hits your hand, right? Hehe, also, my tendency is to throw the third ball all low and/or forward... I guess I lose my concentration at that point. I'll keep working on it though. Maybe I'll end up posting a vid of what NOT to do. |
|
I think there's a stage between concentrating on each ball being thrown/caught and just feeling the whole pattern, kind of like riding a bike. It sounds to me like you might be stressing about catching that second ball, so you throw the third one hastily. Maybe if you try doing it over a bed or couch, and just not catch any of the balls, you can practice throwing three balls at the right pace, all around the same height. If you do try this, be careful not to throw the balls too fast - wait until each previous one peaks. It should take almost two full seconds to get off all three throws. |

That's pretty much how I juggle. |

Heh, I followed your actions on the video and I can now do the three ball cascade. I need something heavier than socks, though... mine tend to fly off every now and then. |

Haha, alright... |

Right on. Well, my dad plays baseball so he got me three significantly heavier balls and it works wonders. |

I gave up. LOL. I mean, I got the three ball flash, but I was having trouble catching the both of the socks in one hand. I dunno. My hand eye co-ordination is excellent, I was just having trouble situating both socks when i had to catch em. |

One thing I just found out: it helps (at least for me) if you keep your hands rotating constantly to keep the rhythm going. |

OMG, when you fake threw the third ball that wasn't there. I actually thought i saw a third ball. Trick of the mind. |
