7 club moves by Vova, April 2006

[IRNjuggle28]

Who is "Barry?"

[Galchenko]

@IRNjuggle28 Barry Bakalor is Vova's American "father". He is the head of the family Vova and Olga used to live in for several years.

[Ernesto5590]

great song! I love Rocky's movies ;) .....oh, and also very good juggling! I have no words!

[cikif]

In Soviet Russia, clubs juggle you.

[skidjesper]

Does vova still juggle?

[Galchenko]

@skidjesper

Yes, he does.

[masterlegend10]

@Galchenko What is the longest amount of rounds has vova ever got with 966 with 7 clubs.

[Galchenko]

@masterlegend10 I guess just one.

[masterlegend10]

@Galchenko Hopefully in the future he will get many rounds! I also was wondering what is the most amount of rounds vova has ever gotten with 867? Thanks!

[Galchenko]

@masterlegend10 I guess one round as well.

[masterlegend10]

@Galchenko Ok. Thanks!

[TheNimrod23]

yes three spins

[5bJuggla]

For years, I have juggled. But never with clubs. Until very recently. I now appreciate the skill that is needed to work clubs. Looking at this video,  i can hardly believe it is possible. As a novice, it is difficult for me to know how many spins each club is going through in Vova's 7club run??? Looks like three. Wow.

[Galchenko]

@5bJuggla

Yes, 3 spins.

[SAGEmovieproductions]

These videos are great! I love how he finishes, drops them all, and acts like it was nothing.

[CAJugglerKid]

I listened to the songs on the Rocky soundtrack and I discovered that the song is called Going the Distance by Bill Conti

Yay!

[Galchenko]

"...the song is called Going the Distance by Bill Conti"

Thanks!

[jugglinggab94]

ok ty for your help MR.Galchenko.

[jugglinggab94]

very nice video.

what is the song that is used here?

hope he will be making some vids soon i love them.

what is he studying in college?

[Galchenko]

"what is the song that is used here?"

Some Rocky soundtrack. I don't know the exact name.

"what is he studying in college?"

Computer Science and Video Production.

[DeepeeMe]

When you see how good Vova is with 7 clubs, then I must say I think he can do 8 club flash.

[DiaboloJuggler]

whoa barry?

[Galchenko]

Barry Bakalor is Vova's American "father". He is the head of the family Vova and Olga live in.

[Nosrettap99]

Is juggling Vova's full time job.

[Galchenko]

No, Vova is a full time college student and that's his main concentration these days.

[juggliac]

I never see Vova do anything like this with 7 clubs anymore, all he does now are 7 up 360s, which, although they are impressive and very hard, in my opinion are rather boring and getting old. Do you know if Vova's been making good progress lately, Mr. Galchenko?

[Galchenko]

"I never see Vova do anything like this with 7 clubs anymore..."

Check out my video "7 club moves by Vova, August 2007".

"...all he does now are 7 up 360s..."

Wrong. Check out Vova's video "Some juggling from 2007".

"Do you know if Vova's been making good progress lately, Mr. Galchenko?"

Sure, he has been making good progress lately.

[juggliac]

but why not any RECENT videos.... I mean, 2007 was still 2 years ago... is he just too busy to make videos?

[Galchenko]

"...2007 was still 2 years ago..."

No, it was 1 year and 3 months ago.

"is he just too busy to make videos?"

Yes, he is too busy.

[juggliac]

oh, ok. Well I hope he makes a video in a few months at least...

[dipsaus25]

amazing,

he's probably the best 7 club juggler in the entire world

[jugglerman7]

when did vova his first 7 club flash and 7 club qualify?

[Galchenko]

"when did vova his first 7 club flash..."

At age of 16.

"...and 7 club qualify?"

At age of 16.

[flippingfo0l]

wow that was probably the cleanest run of seven clubs ive ever seen

[MangaLovah]

how long have u been juggling?...

[Galchenko]

"how long have u been juggling?"

Vova has been juggling almost 15 years.

[Horowitz3053]

What clubs is he using in this video?

[Galchenko]

"What clubs is he using in this video?"

PX3s.

[t1mo0n]

fuck dude

[singh246]

Hey Vova, do you make a lot of money juggling? If not what else do you do?

[Galchenko]

"Hey Vova..."

Vova doesn't read YouTube comments.

"...do you make a lot of money juggling?"

He does make a lot of money juggling, but he has to reject many offers because of University he attends.

"...what else do you do?"

University, working out, running, making videos, developing his show, playing the piano...

[sargent11201]

what University is it in Russia or America?

[Galchenko]

"what University is it in Russia or America?"

California State University, Northridge.

[m33749]

u must have amazing concentration

[MarijnvdZaag]

O!!

M!!

G!!

[jugglerman7]

nice video,vova.can`t take my eyes from the screen when you are on it!!!!!!!

[nzanderl]

i get it Barry!!

[MsBHoopingAllure]

inspiring talent...kudos! Ostensibly ...excellent coaching and guidance by you. I admire the Russians for their supremacy in performing arts...a profound sense of perfecting and the perseverance to excell. Is this a pervasive Russian trait...or is it , mostly, obvious in circus/performing arts? I certainly am in awe.

[Galchenko]

Thanks, Jamie!

"Ostensibly ...excellent coaching and guidance by you."

Well, what you see in this video Vova reached without my guidance. :-)

"Is this a pervasive Russian trait..."

I guess no.

"...or is it, mostly, obvious in circus/performing arts?"

I think a profound sense of perfecting and the perseverance to excell is a personal trait. And not only in circus/performing arts.

[thegoheads]

that's so amazing... i wonder how good he will become over the next decade or so... if it is even possible to be any better than he already is, haha.

[Yomay]

How about the next CENTURY!! Uh. Oh, maybe not

[MGZolyn]

HOLY CRAP! his pattern is amazing! and the 5 up was insane! omg.

[Romarioman]

He was 18.5 years old there. He was a year older that me there, i'm 17.5 years old now.

[gf10308]

Awesome abilities!

[Yomay]

But, do you know what Vova's personal record with 7 clubs was when this was filmed?

[Galchenko]

"do you know what Vova's personal record with 7 clubs was when this was filmed?"

I think about 200 catches, but he didn't try to keep juggling after 200 catches.

[bknobbs]

At least I can do most of those with five clubs ;p Awesome stuff, hopefully I'll be able to run six by next IJA.....

[JugglingStein]

Whats the name of the music?

[Yomay]

Some Rocky soundtrack. Dunno which.

[Galchenko]

Yes, some Rocky soundtrack. Don't know the exact name.

[JugglingStein]

Ok, thanks anyway!

[Yomay]

That soundtrack really fits these clips well. Creates an atmosphere of awesomeness.

[JugglingStein]

You could learn a thing or two...

[Yomay]

lol

[Galchenko]

"That soundtrack really fits these clips well."

Yes, I agree. Vova's job.

[juggleDude1]

That was INSANE! "Vova didn't live with them yet" Where did he live when he taped that video?

[Galchenko]

"Where did he live when he taped that video?"

In Boulder, Colorado.

[JugglingStein]

When are you posting juggling videos that aren't several years old?

Not that this isn't awesome!

[Yomay]

Vova posts those

[JugglingStein]

Well, he hasn't posted anything in 2 months...

[Yomay]

He isn't obsessed with posting things then.

[Galchenko]

"When are you posting juggling videos that aren't several years old?"

I don't know. I have a bunch of unedited videos on my computer since Vova's being here in August 2007. But I guess most of them Vova has already used in his videos. I still have no time to look through them.

[ultimatewannabe]

That's so sick dude. How long do you suppose it will take you to perform a trick with 7 clubs aside from the cascade? another year or two?

Mike

[Yomay]

I would guess 2-3 years before he does an 867 or a 966 in WJF competition. But maybe ask Vova in person about that, he would know best.

[Galchenko]

"I would guess 2-3 years before he does an 867 or a 966 in WJF competition."

I think more.

[Yomay]

Possible. I don't really have any idea how solid those moves are now, but seeing as he can do a 5 up and a 966 in the same run, they should be pretty controlled. Then again, I see progress with 7 clubs goes extremely slow. He did a 7 up first time almost one and a half year ago, and he still doesn't seem to get it easier(I'm assuming that because he hasn't done it successfully in any video after that). Let's say 5-6 years maybe?

[Galchenko]

"...seeing as he can do a 5 up and a 966 in the same run, they should be pretty controlled."

Yes, they are pretty controlled in gym, but on stage it is another matter.

"He did a 7 up first time almost one and a half year ago, and he still doesn't seem to get it easier."

It is because he never worked seriously on 7 ups. He does four 7 club 5 up 360s every day, but he doesn't work on 7 up at all. In Russia he only tried it on my request.

"Let's say 5-6 years maybe?"

Maybe.

[Galchenko]

"How long do you suppose it will take you to perform a trick with 7 clubs aside from the cascade?"

Vova doesn't read YouTube comments. At least on my videos. I have no idea how long it will take him.

[manuel886202]

Has vova ever donde a 7 club 7 up 360?

[Yomay]

4-5 times

[Galchenko]

Yes, but it isn't taped with a clean finish.

[ultimatewannabe]

Has he done it with a clean finish off camera?

[Galchenko]

"Has he done it with a clean finish off camera?"

Yes.

[ultimatewannabe]

Kick ass!!!

[yamoy12]

you should put all his 7 club tricks on there one montage of all his stuff hes done 5 up 180 7 up 360

[McRat1968]

LOL! That was a nice touch, using music from the Rocky IV soundtrack! Perfect!

[kmcdhuskie]

who's barry?

[petervova]

I think that the barry they are talking about is Barry Bakalor he is Mark Bakalor's father he is also a juggler.

[Galchenko]

"who's barry?"

Yes, this is Barry Bakalor. He and his wife, Sue Bakalor, are Vova and Olga's American family. In April 2006, when this video was taped, Vova didn't live with them yet.

[Gidthekid803]

Awesome

[TedTracy]

fuck you crazy

[3up360]

[vandrizzle]

Awesome!!!!!!!!
