Beginning Basic Elementary Juggling v. 8.0

[KARLOSTAR100]

i like the poormans half shower and when i get my new gballs i would love to get 20 catches of 8 balls!

[mkola59]

yes, i have to agree on the good humour.

very entertaining. thx for uploading, I'll be watching for more.

"An unqualified yes"...awesome! Great juggling and production work. I hope no toads were harmed in the making of this film?

[BruceBoppoTiemann]

@jboyce2 Thanks! Nice to hear from you!

Not only were no toads harmed in the making of this film, but I also disclose my great secret ... an all-natural, organic, renewable, and even, yes, FloraCeutical way to make their poo smell like roses. Everybody wins! (Hey, I'm just trying to make the world a better place (in my own special way).)

Great video. Nice to see some juggling from you again. The 8 ball shower looked good. Have you tried 7 in one hand?

[BruceBoppoTiemann]

@peterbone Thanks! I have tried it, but without success. 6 in one hand barely yes, 7 no - at least not yet. It seems pretty far off.

I watched a bunch of juggling videos today, and this is by far the best! Nice tricks and great humor. Thanks!

I guess [44] is not so elementary after all.

@gthourne You're right, [44] is hard. Plus I leaned towards new tricks. I haven't seen 777777[77]. Besides the four main patterns and the shower, I haven't seen any of the others although I know some have been done. I've seen [44], so I didn't spend more than a couple days on it, during which time I didn't get it.

I'm glad you liked the jokes - and this without even having to write that the toad eight the rose petal.

Dis vid is crunk as hell. Ballin' out of control.

[thegoheads]

awesome! I'm so glad you have made another video! The double rainbow shot and the lightning shot look so epic! Great humor throughout the video too. I loved all the other other wimpy patterns, hahahaha

I wish our juggling club was at a time that would allow you to come juggle with us. Awesome video.

[BruceBoppoTiemann]

@SamMalcolmFireDancer  Me too!

You say poor man's 9 ball, but I say awesome. I've started doing those types of tricks after watching your siteswap video about it. The 8 ball version looks hot.

66661 is a personal favorite pattern of mine now and I love 777771, but I can't get it for very long yet. For what it is worth 441 has ALWAYS been my favorite 3 ball pattern, and I've only recently started playing around with 5551.

Great stuff! The toad manipulation is WAY ahead of its time. Toad-swaps, anyone? By the way, I'm coming out to Durango, CO in October for the Durango Juggling Festival set up by Erin Stephens. I hope to see you there and meet you at last. Your little vid files inspired me back in 1997/1998 when I got started. =)

[BruceBoppoTiemann]

@JuggleSensei I haven't seen anyone else post about laser-guided toads. And they might be trainable to follow certain colors, too. I don't think I'm going to make it to Durango, though, sorry to say.

[MadJuggler97531]

That was awesome Bruce! My wife and I loved the video... me more than her, but she liked the Toad and the acting at the end... You are awesome and have been a serious inspirations since I started juggling backk in 1999. Thank you very much. I would love to see what you do with 5,6 and 7!

[BruceBoppoTiemann]

@MadJuggler97531 Thanks! You might tell your wife, if she hasn't already figured it out, what the significance of getting 17 catches with 9 balls is, w.r.t. qualifying 8, and qualifying 9.
