Juggling is the new yo-yoing

[geekbot]

Listen up people. Yo-yoing is out. Juggling is in.

So give me some tips on juggling 4 balls. I can do about 3 synchonous throws in-a-row. I think I can get it with more practice. How do I do 4 asynchronously? How much practice does it take to juggle 5?

What are some cool juggling tricks like these?

My favorite part is when she flashes a peace sign to let us know she's a foreigner.

One thing at a time Neth. Tossing bottles and mixing drinks will be my next trick.

I could never do 4 for more than like 10 seconds.

Do you juggle pins? If you haven't tried it, go get some, it's more fun (and significantly harder) than balls. Bean bags are a good way to learn, they're a little easier than balls and they don't roll away when you drop them.

I like to juggle. Im not that bad. Can do 3 easily, 4 is pretty easy too. I like doing 2 in each hand, then someone throwing in a 5th and i do all 5.

Edit: Why the fuck do the videos not work?

Ahh, yes, that was my other question. What's your favorite store/what kind of bags should I get? Does getting quality bags matter or is any ol kind fine?

I haven't tried pins yet- I basically juggle anything I can find around the house- usually tennis balls. The most difficult things I've tried to juggle are: one tennis ball, a football, and a basketball. Moving to 4 balls I've discovered my left hand is much weaker/more inaccurate than my right hand.

I don't know any juggling store, I'd try online. I got turned onto juggling when I was about 10 years old, my dad joined a group of people who would dress as clowns and do little skits and stuff at church events. They got more and more into it and eventually we were going to "clown conventions" and stuff. It seems stupid now, but when I was 10 I was learning all kinds of magic tricks and juggling and stuff, so it was pretty cool.

Tennis balls kinda suck because they bounce so much. if you buy actual juggling balls they're better because they're made of some sort of dense rubber so they just kinda thud when they land, and if they crash in the air they don't go flying all over the room, plus they have more weight to them than tennis balls so they're easier to control.

As far as bean bags, I don't really know anything about the quality, I would guess that any bags made specifically for juggling would be pretty good.

They also sell those discs, but I never really tried that, it just didn't look as cool as the pins.

Yo-Yoing's been out for about 4 years

Just last week a friend of mine and me discussed when it's gonna come back again. Done so twice during the time I've lived (around 1989 and 1998-ish). Came to the conclusion that it has 9 year intervalls which means I hope I die before 2007.

Yo-Yoing was never "in", well not round my area anyway!!

In Bloodzombie's first post he talked about juggling balls, someone should have picked up on this
