[visitnajr]

I also left my family for america T_T

[MrBraaddd]

Whats the song name ?



[Galchenko]

@MrBraaddd "Another Day in Paradise".



[MrBraaddd]

@Galchenko Thanks

[TheMarcin4411]

Can someone tell me; what is the name of this move - 0:47?

[Galchenko]

@TheMarcin4411

4 club shoulder throws.

[TempterMan]

2:57 great 6 ball shower!

I did some 6 ball shower attempts today and I think I qualified it once, I didn't count though. But I don't even remember if I collected all balls. However, it was great!

I have to get my 5 ball shower solid yet.

[Galchenko]

You can see 7 ball shower in the video named "Vova juggling with 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 balls" at 1:38.

[TempterMan]

Do you know if Vova has ever tried a 7 ball hi-lo shower?

[Galchenko]

No, I don't know.

[TheMarcin4411]

Wow! 7 clubs really amazing 3:44

[metalleuh95]

=O nice !!

[1JugglingJosh]

did vova do any ring practice when he was in penza?

[Galchenko]

Yes, he did.

[1JugglingJosh]

could you make a video of it plz?

[Galchenko]

That was done long ago. Check out my and Vova's other videos from 2006-2007. For instance, the video "Recovery".

[Anonym135]

What is this beautiful 6Ball Trick from 2:28 to 2:31??

It looks like 864, but I'm not sure. The connection to b97531 looks amazing!

[Galchenko]

"What is this beautiful 6Ball Trick from 2:28 to 2:31?"

For me it also looks like 864. :-)

[jugglerman7]

have you deleted "juggling in penza"?

[Galchenko]

"have you deleted "juggling in penza"?"

That video has been blocked from playback due to a music rights issue. I'll send you the link to it in the private message.

[tehwoodcuter]

Can I have the link too please? Thanks!

[Galchenko]

"Can I have the link too please?"

I sent it to you.

[trebliWsaaM]

hahaha

that whas a nice kick :P

[Haukon123]

Vova uses px3 sds, right?

[Galchenko]

"Vova uses px3 sds, right?"

Right.

[shpuds]

Nice.

Vegas's im guessing, yeah ?

[Galchenko]

"Vegas's im guessing, yeah ?"

Yes, PX3-Vegas special (PX3-SDS).

[shpuds]

Does he use px3's ?

[Galchenko]

"Does he use px3's ?"

Yes, he does.

[lzileri]

7 club 7 up 360 and we are talking of the 28 of jaunary 2007 , almost 2 years ago. 2 questions:

-has he got this trick clean already?

-in case he has, what is he tryng now? 7 club 5 up 720's? 6 club 6 up 720's? 8 club 8 up 360's?

[Galchenko]

"has he got this trick clean already?"

Yes, many times.

"what is he tryng now?"

Vova mostly doesn't work on new things. He polishes the old ones to be able to perform them on stage.

"7 club 5 up 720's? 6 club 6 up 720's? 8 club 8 up 360's?"

He never tried any of them.

[juggling4jesus]

I thought I'd seen him doing a 6 club 6up 720,But you are his dad and would know better than me. I just realy thought I'd seen a 6up 720.

[Galchenko]

"I thought I'd seen him doing a 6 club 6up 720..."

Where? Live or on video?

"But you are his dad and would know better than me."

Well, no. I am in Russia, Vova is in the USA. So you may know it better, but I doubt Vova has ever done a 6 club 6 up 720. I'll ask him when I have a chance.

[juggling4jesus]

I't was on video but it was a video filmed at the IJA or EJC and at is not on yours or vova's channel I can't find it now so you're probably right.

[Galchenko]

"...so you're probably right."

Yes, I was right. I asked Vova, he never did a 6 club 6 up 720.

[mc1703]

hey would be pretty cool if he did!

[Galchenko]

Sure.

[gebboo]

I got a question mr galchenko,

how long has vova been practicing to get that crotch 'madness' so solid? How did he practice? did he first mastered it on one side and than mastered it on the other side, or did he work on both sides?

[Galchenko]

"how long has vova been practicing to get that crotch 'madness' so solid?"

A few years. :-)

"How did he practice? did he first mastered it on one side and than mastered it on the other side, or did he work on both sides?"

As far as remember he mastered it with just one throw first, then two throws, three, etc. So mostly he works on both sides.

[gebboo]

thank you for your answer mr. Galchenko ;)

[gebboo]

.. dont know what to say, I have watched soooo many juggling movies, but Vova is still amazing to watch. His form is just.. amazing! That 2-stage 720 into crotch madness is insane. Just amazing..

[dipsaus25]

great vid

but can vova do a (8x,6) with clubs?

[Galchenko]

"...can vova do a (8x,6) with clubs?"

Yes, he can do short runs of a (8x,6) with clubs.

[dipsaus25]

thanks

[R0mai]

You can see a qualifying run in Synergy II

watch?v=YyfTM63RBbU

[DXWXMX44]

when you switch from clubs to balls does it take a few moments to get warmed up, adjusted, probably not for him

[Galchenko]

Yes, Vova doesn't need to get warmed up, adjusted, when he switches from clubs to balls.

[hanni1298]

unglaublich...............

[DominikLuger]

Wow! He qualified after the 7up 360! Amazing video!

[Haukon123]

Phil Collins, right?

[Galchenko]

"Phil Collins, right?"

What Phil Collins?

[Haukon123]

the song, another day in paradise, is made by Phil Collins right?

[Galchenko]

"the song, another day in paradise, is made by Phil Collins right?"

I am not sure. I had it on Richard Clayderman's CD.

[XevezioN]

if vova didnt spend so much time on team passing with olga and more solo juggling, he would have been the best.

[AdyPole]

If Vova didn't spend so much time passing with Olga, they wouldn't have been the best.

[Haukon123]

Your son is awesome, Mr Galchenko! His the greatest juggler in the entire world!!

[Galchenko]

Thanks, Haukon! But Vova still is not the greatest juggler.

[trapovskis]

what is the song of this video

[Galchenko]

"Another Day in Paradise"

[jugglingluke]

mr galchenko were you at vova when he kicked the ball and all most hit you

[Galchenko]

"mr galchenko were you at vova when he kicked the ball..."

I was at the camera taping Vova at that moment.

"...and all most hit you"

No, it flew by pretty far from me.

[R0mai]

thats a (8x,6)(4,6x)(6,8x)(6x,4)

[Galchenko]

"what is that siteswap with six balls around 2,49?"

I am not good in recognizing siteswaps, but maybe it is (5,7x)(7x,5).

[NViriya]

7 club 7 up 360!!!

[hallem10]

awesome juggling!!

[jugglerman7]

can vova do a flat spin with more than 5 clubs?

anyway 5 clubs flat spins are awesome!!!!

[Galchenko]

"can vova do a flat spin with more than 5 clubs?"

He never worked on it as far as I know, so I assume he can't.

[R0mai]

I have never seen anybody doing 5+ clubs flats. (that doesn't mean that nobody have ever done that)

[skilos34]

i think thomas dietz has done flats with 6 clubs

[skilos34]

i think thomas dietz has done flats with 6 clubs

[R0mai]

do you know about a video from it on the net?

[worras2007]

UNBELIEVABLE!!!

[mindset36]

beautiful music beautiful juggling could anyone tell me the name of this song please

[Galchenko]

"could anyone tell me the name of this song please"

"Another Day in Paradise"

[lauge999]

Wow a 7 up 360 OMG! i can't belive it.

[jugglerboy0909]

sorry 4:21

[jugglerboy0909]

was that a 7 up 360 at 5:31

[Galchenko]

"was that a 7 up 360 at 5:31"

What? The video is 4:27 long total!

The last move in this video is 7 club 7 up 360.

[jimifun]

vova's skill is quite amazing.

i have two questions: how is vova's 7 up club 360? has he done it since?

also

will vova be attending the BJC in 2008?

[Galchenko]

"how is vova's 7 up club 360?"

Vova is not working on it. However recently in Las Vegas Vova got a pretty good 7 club 7 up 360 with a long run afterwards. Jason Garfield taped it.

"will vova be attending the BJC in 2008?"

No. At least he didn't get any invitation from the organizers.

[Galchenko]

""galchenko at penza dot com" --email address?"

Yes. Just replace "at" and "dot" with "@" and ".". YouTube doesn't allow to post e-mail addresses.

Or just go to Vova and Olga's old site (link's in my profile) and find there my e-mail address.

[Galchenko]

"Im wondering if anybody could set up a link to a download for this video."

Type me at "galtchenko at penza dot com" and I will send you a link to this video in better quality.

[DeejayBribe1]

Perhaps i may have been a bit hard on Jason Garfield here (i never used the word devil tho'). I read him trashing a couple of other jugglers on his site which i thought was a little extreme. One was to do with one's religeon beliefs and the other was aimed at someones sexual orientation. We all say and do stupid things occasionally (especially me lol). I dunno about the threads and post Anthony deletes-maybe he feels that some are innaproriate.

peace and respect to All jugglers

[ghost0711]

may i know what club is vova using ?

[DeejayBribe1]

He's using PX3's (custom coloured) by an italian comany called 'Play' i used to use 'em when i resumed my juggling. They're very long cluns the handle is about 20-21 inch's before the thin bulb forms. they are nice and light. Vova is great with 'em but if you want the real-deal club go to the renagade site. They'll make 'em just how you want 'em. Gatto uses them-nuff said.

Dj Bribe

[Galchenko]

DeejayBribe1 is right, Vova is using PX3s. But I have to disagree with DeejayBribe1 about the Renegades. Vova and Olga had a bad experience with the Renegades. They were using them for a year. The big problem with the Renegades is that the knobs on them always fall off. Finally Vova and Olga had to switch to PX3s.

[ghost0711]

On the dec vova & jason having a workshop at las vegas ! I'm 16 years old this yr & from Singapore. Can i take part for the workshop ? I only know basic juggling.

[Galchenko]

"Can i take part for the workshop?"

Just ask Jason.

[ghost0711]

Sorry, what i mean is whether i can register as a beginner juggler ? i want to learn more tricks from both of them.

[Galchenko]

"what i mean is whether i can register as a beginner juggler?"

I understood that, but I can't answer your question. The one who can answer you is Jason Garfield.

[Galchenko]

"I would think his performances would earn top dollar - ?"

Well, yes, his performances are pretty expensive.

[Galchenko]

"Does Vova make good money at this?"

Make good money at what?

[KanonSommer]

Galchenko..where does Vova train? Every time he is in Russia he train at that spot..A sportshall or something?

[Galchenko]

"where does Vova train?"

In America he trains in the house where he lives. In Russia he trains at that spot. It is a local Cultural Center and in this video you can see one of its halls. Vova also trains on stage in the same Center, at the Circus School he used to train in 1993-2001, and at school he went to in 2002-2003 (videos with Kristina taped there).

"Every time he is in Russia he train at that spot."

As you see not always at that spot.

[Thomasdragon]

Hello Mr. Galchenko

Are Vova a serious atlhete? I mean does he eat healthy, go early to bed, never drink alcholic drinks and so on??

[Galchenko]

"...does he eat healthy..."

Well, what do you consider healthy? I think he just eats what he wants.

"...go early to bed..."

No.

"...never drink alcholic drinks..."

Yes, he never drinks alcohol.

What else? He doesn't smoke. Also he is pretty serious about his juggling practice and about working out.

[AlexisKeyet]

It's so beautiful..!

[ghost0711]

how do juggle flat with clubs ? i practices for months and yet still couldn't make it. i'm using dube clubs.

[jugglegenius]

if they are balanced you have to find the balance point and throw the club counter to that, pretty difficult sometimes but just practise. hope that helps

[Galchenko]

Yes, I agree with jugglegenius, just practice.

[mc1703]

4 of the catches after the 360 were either on the wrong end, or reverse grip. amazing!

[bratei]

What is the adress of vovas blog?

[Galchenko]

Unfortunately YouTube doesn't allow posting web links here. Go to VovaGalchenko profile and follow the link related to "Website:" There you can find his blog. His site is in process of rebuilding now, so it looks like you can't post your comments there.

[pats4patrick213]

i wish i could juggle as well as him. im only up to 6 balls, 4 clubs, and four rings. but i practice like 2 hours a day maybe one day ill be half as good as he is.

[fernandezxavier]

vova owns anthony.

[mc1703]

so wait a second, can vova qualify 9 rings with a head bounce, can vova run 8 balls for over a minute, can vova run 7 ring pancakes???

[Galchenko]

"can vova qualify 9 rings with a head bounce"

No, he can't do it even without a head bounce. :-)

"can vova run 8 balls for over a minute"

No.

"can vova run 7 ring pancakes?"

No.

Anthony Gatto is definitely better than Vova in balls and rings.

[DeejayBribe1]

and clubs dude, lets not forget clubs....lol!

go easy dad ;)

Dj Bribe

[Galchenko]

"and clubs dude, lets not forget clubs....lol!"

I don't think so. I think Anthony and Vova are more or less equal in clubs.

[DeejayBribe1]

hmmm... it's kinda hard to 'debate' with you cause i can tell your a fair, realistic and nice man. I hope you think the same of me. i LOVE vova's club work (dont get me wrong). i honestly think Gatto's club work is a litte tighter, more innovative and his endurance is extra speacial.

[Galchenko]

"i can tell your a fair, realistic and nice man."

Thanks.

"I hope you think the same of me."

Unfortunately I don't know you, so I can tell nothing. But from what I read I believe you are a nice man.

"i honestly think Gatto's club work is a litte tighter, more innovative..."

I don't think so. So you are right, we agreed to disagree.

"...and his endurance is extra speacial."

I agree with you here.

[juggling4jesus]

Yes

[DeejayBribe1]

Mr Galchenko. look thier both great with thier club work. there's nothing wrong with agreeing to dissagree here. i'm looking forward to seeing more of Vova's work actually and i DONT want to missrepresent Anthony in a negative mannor.

However, do you 'as a father' think its wise letting your son spend so much time under the influence of Mr Garfield?, i hope i havent crossed the line here but Jason has nothing but hate in his heart. That i DO know.

One love

Dj Bribe

[Galchenko]

"do you 'as a father' think its wise letting your son spend so much time under the influence of Mr Garfield?"

Vova is not under the influence of Jason Garfield for a long time already. And Vova has his own opinions differred from Jason's on some important questions.

"i hope i havent crossed the line here"

No, you haven't.

[Galchenko]

"Jason has nothing but hate in his heart."

You are wrong here in my opinion. Jason is not Devil. And if I had to choose between Anthony and Jason, I would definitely choose Jason.

[DeejayBribe1]

'if I had to choose between Anthony and Jason, I would definitely choose Jason' C'mon Galchenko, now why would you go and say somethin' like that?(you dont really believe that).Jason has alot of emotional stuff he's unleashing onto the world via this beautiful art of juggling. I know loads of jugglers that for some stupid reason think he's 'cool' and 'hip' but by the same token i also know lots that see right through him and i'm one of 'em.

Love n respect

Dj Bribe

[Galchenko]

"...now why would you go and say somethin' like that?"

Because I really think so.

"you dont really believe that"

I do believe that. Have you ever met Jason in person? Have you ever had any kind of correspondence with him?

[Galchenko]

"I know loads of jugglers that for some stupid reason think he's 'cool' and 'hip'..."

I don't think Jason is cool or "hip" and I see many defects in his character. But he is not Devil either. And when I compare Jason with Anthony, I like Jason much more. At least he doesn't block people on his forum (except one), he doesn't delete the whole threads, doesn't delete posts, Jason is much more tolerant to other opinions than Anthony is, etc.

Peace,

Vasili

[jimifun]

well said. personally, as much as i hear that jason is a bit of a pain, he has done some great things for the juggling world. would we all know how vova and olga where if it were not for the WJF? or wes peden?

i leave that to debate

[Galchenko]

"would we all know how vova and olga where if it were not for the WJF?"

Well, Vova and Olga were very well-known in the juggling world before even Jason met them. Let alone the WJF.

"or wes peden?"

I am sure Wes would be famous without the WJF.

Understand me right. I think the WJF is a great idea. And thanks to Jason for all that huge work he has done creating it.

[renetjuh007]

what's the name of that song?

[Galchenko]

"Another Day in Paradise"

[projugglerboy]

qualifying run after the pirouette.

thats amazing !

[Galchenko]

Well, in this video you can see he did at least 18 catches after the pirouette under 7 clubs.

[projugglerboy]

has vova ever did a 7 up 360 with clubs and actually cought all of them without drops or catching the wrong side?

[Galchenko]

Well, not sure about without catching the wrong side, but he did it without drops and with qualifying run after the pirouette.

[cooljuggler]

what's the name of that song?

[Galchenko]

"Another Day in Paradise"

[jac0bsk]

Has Vova ever tried 7 club backcrosses? I'd love to see that.

By the way, great 7 ball 540 and 3 club routine.

[Galchenko]

"Has Vova ever tried 7 club backcrosses?"

Tried two years ago living in Boulder, CO. I have a video of him doing four 7 club backcrosses. Video is cut right after the 4th backcross, so I am sure he dropped after that. Since then I have never seen or heard of him trying 7 club backcrosses. I offered him to try it, when he was in Russia, but he never tried.

[Thomasdragon]

Interesting, thank you...Vova have a huge talent, born with it. But when and how did you first saw it?

And when he train that much(3hours every day) how often does he learn new things?

[Galchenko]

"Vova have a huge talent,born with it."

I don't think so. Every healthy kid would be able to juggle like Vova, if he/she practices juggling so much from age of 6. Read his blog entry from September 11, 2006 named "Talent". I agree with him.

"But when and how did you first saw it?"

Never saw it. :-)

[Galchenko]

"And when he train that much(3hours every day) how often does he learn new things?"

Not often. He has a bunch of mandatory moves he has to accomplish during his practice. And when he finishes it, he's just too tired to try new things.

[Thomasdragon]

Amazing skills...

But how does Vova train? Course alot juggling, but also strenght and other things?

[Galchenko]

About 3 hours of juggling every day, running, work out.

[projugglerboy]

lol awsome kick vova

[duklapraha]

loved the 6 ball stuff

[Vanillatown]

You should come to humbolt with your sister.

Curt and Mike

[rajaaaa]

more than amazing :|

good luck :)

[dedwarmo]

I get an adrenaline rush when I watch Vova juggle.  Inspirational, as Jason says.

[ihavenoscruplez]

Hope that you all get to come to America to visit Vova, you have quite the children to be proud of with all of the accomplishments. /congradulations on the green card status.... that will open him to so many opportunities . take care of yourselves!!!

[Pulkk1nen]

cool...Vasili what balls does vova use? Does he use sport juggling balls?They look like those...Congrats on having received his green card to come l.a!

[Galchenko]

Yes, Vova uses Sport Juggling balls. Thanks!

[goedzomenno]

Where do you buy the clubs ?

[Galchenko]

Vova doesn't buy his clubs, he gets them for free from the Company. But you can buy them from the WJF site, for instance.

[habbywall]

What clubs is Vova using now?

[Galchenko]

PX3

[goedzomenno]

(for me he is the #1 of the world)

[bloodythumbs3]

Anthony Gatto is better

[goedzomenno]

yes but he is the #1 for me

[renetjuh007]

Anthony Gatto is the best juggler in the world ...

[JimboWizbo]

Gatto is probably a better juggler, but vova does flying kicks

[goedzomenno]

WoW The #1 of the world

[JasonRGarfield]

Inspiring.

[ctjuggles]

One word: awe.

[martijnhalekor]

Woah... speechless. That was nuts :D

[Yomay]

AAARRGGgghhhh crap computer. I cannot view the video for longer than about 40 seconds, then it says "play again", "send to friend". I will have to wait all day till I get home to see the video :/

The 3 club stuff at the start was nice. Very complex routine.

[alteal]

Good video, Vasili and Vova.

Hopefully, Vova will soon be so successfull that he will be able to visit his parents whenever he wants.

[Galchenko]

You meant 7 up?

[kmcdhuskie]

I especially liked the 540, too bad you couldn't stabilize it.

[McRat1968]

Congrats on having received his Green Card

to come to L.A. (Getting a Green Card used

to be a piece-of-cake in my day, a quarter-

century ago); but I know ever since 9/11 the

procedure has become so tedious!)

Congratulations again, ee vsevo horoshovo.

[slondsha]

finally he can come back to the US. must be hard for the family...
