Struggling with 7 club 5 up 360

[room7productions]

oh my god. calm down. you can juggle 7 fucking clubs.

[bozobozo]

Wasn't the 7 club 5 up 360 the first 7 club move (beside the cascade in triples) he learned?

I'm surprised he didn't start with something else.

[Galchenko]

@bozobozo I am not sure. Maybe 86 or 966 were th first ones.

[jlspma]

what happened in the car accident, mr. galchenko?

[Galchenko]

@jlspma

Vova got into a car accident 19 days before this video was taped. He fell asleep at the wheel. From his blog:

"...I started dozing off again gradually... so gradually that I didn't even notice I was dozing off, until I woke up from the feeling of the car being airborne instinctively pushing the break pedal. Next thing I knew the car flipped over and landed on its roof and hit something. I was shocked..."

[jlspma]

@Galchenko He fell asleep behind the wheel? Wow! Was it late nd he was tired or was he hammered as well?

But that feeling of being car while airborne must be a fear he'll never forget for the rest of his life....i didn't know about his accident at all actually. I just saw the video of the wrecked car after writing the previous comment.

[Galchenko]

@jlspma

"He fell asleep behind the wheel?"

Yes.

"Wow! Was it late nd he was tired..."

That was early in the morning, but Vova didn't sleep the night before that. And yes, sure, he was tired.

"...was he hammered as well?"

Vova was very lucky. The only injury he got was 30 stitches on his arm.

[jlspma]

@Galchenko lol...when I said hammered i meant drunk! But i guess not!

30 STITCHES!

My cousin once got in a car crash and she cracked her head open in two...24 stitches that took....and he got 30?! wow...

[Galchenko]

@jlspma

"when I said hammered i meant drunk!"

Oh, I am not strong in the English slang. No, Vova was not drunk. Moreover Vova never was drunk. He doesn't drink at all.

[eixenful]

He did it like 3 times in this video. He don't need to collect them.

[Galchenko]

@eixenful

Yes, but Vova wanted to do it with a clean finish.

[m4n52k10]

amazing juggling

[tomazzin]

Hello Mr. Galchenko! I have three questions, and I'll be really happy if you answered me...

*What clubs does Vova use?

*What's Vova record (in time and/or catches) for 7 clubs?

*(And geting totally outside from this video) Do you juggle? I've always wondered about it...

Thanks!

[Galchenko]

@tomazzin

"What clubs does Vova use?"

PX3s.

"What's Vova record for 7 clubs?"

He never tried to set the record, but I have personally seen him doing runs of about 400 catches.

"Do you juggle?"

Just a little. 4 balls.

[TannerA999]

the second attemot was pretty nice, he just needed to collect the clubs without dropping them.

[EvanJuggle]

Has Vova ever worked one on one with a professional Dance Teacher to help Vova improve his 360's?

[Galchenko]

No.

[lowstanda]

did vova ever hurt himself when learning clubs? im covered in bruises from trying anything at all

[Galchenko]

Sure, he did.

[juggliac]

It must really suck to master something like that, then have something horrible happen and have to work up to it again...

[BartHoving]

Yes it is... I cut my finger (I fell, I tried to reach for something to grab, and what I grabbed was really sharp, a big part of the flesh came off my finger), I couldn't juggle for two weeks. Just before that I finally had 7 balls REALLY solid and 360s were getting really! solid. But now after over a week of practice I still can't get past a 100 catches, let alone a 360. FRUSTRATING! But some other things I never could do before are much easier after, lika a club-balance while juggling...

[9465511]

he's very nervous,but it's ok, becouse i know that it's working for him :) love his juggling . keep on doing

[Galchenko]

"he's very nervous..."

I intentionally selected such moments in this video, so I don't think it's right to judge about Vova's personality by this video.

[DaveGbg]

What is the best trick vova can do with 7 clubs now? Can he do 8 clubs? and if he can do 8 clubs how manny catches is the record?

[Galchenko]

"What is the best trick vova can do with 7 clubs now?"

7 up 360.

"Can he do 8 clubs?"

No.

[Recentlyshaven]

Freddie Mercury eh? Nice.

[lvbelvis]

this guy is so much better that jason

[jugglier55]

it seems british..russians..and asian peeps make the best jugglers...atleast what i've seen on youtube lol

(no racial prejudice ment...more of ..making fun of americans then anything lol)

[argentino1492]

jajaja re calenton el pendejo!!!!! qe accidente??????? ? what accident??

[Galchenko]

"what accident?"

Vova got into a car accident 19 days before this video was taped. He fell asleep at the wheel. From his blog:

"...I started dozing off again gradually... so gradually that I didn't even notice I was dozing off, until I woke up from the feeling of the car being airborne instinctively pushing the break pedal. Next thing I knew the car flipped over and landed on its roof and hit something. I was shocked..."

[Galchenko]

For details read Vova's blog named "GPA golfer gig, going-away party, Lindsay, car accident".

[marcelezaaa]

What's the name of this song, please?

thank you..

[Galchenko]

"What's the name of this song, please?"

"Don't Try So Hard" by Queen.

[petervova]

Vova is very good with 7 clubs but that looks extremely frustrating to learn a 5 up 360 and kick up all the clubs that droped but I know that Vova will never give up he can do anything with juggling.

[lionelwoolf]

Did they speak to each other?

What does Anthony think of Vova?

Lioenl

[Galchenko]

"Did they speak to each other?"

Just asked Vova and Olga's mom about it. She was in Reno as well, but she didn't see them speaking to each other. I'll ask Vova, if you want.

"What does Anthony think of Vova?"

I don't know. Some of his thoughts about Vova you can read on his forum.

[lionelwoolf]

Has vova ever met Anthony Gatto?

Lionel

[Galchenko]

"Has vova ever met Anthony Gatto?"

Yes, at least Vova met Anthony in 2003 at the IJA festival in Reno. Not sure if they met after that.

[juggledave]

also vova has like the fastest spins ever how does his earphones not fall out?

[Galchenko]

"also vova has like the fastest spins ever how does his earphones not fall out?"

:-) I don't know.

[67561a]

thank you mr. Galchenko!

[67561a]

is he the only one in the world who can do a 7 club 5 up 360? do you think he will perform it at the WJF?

[Galchenko]

"is he the only one in the world who can do a 7 club 5 up 360?"

No, Anthony Gatto can do it as well.

"do you think he will perform it at the WJF?"

I think he performed it already on his exhibition or something like that. But he is definitely not planning to perform it in his club routine.

[juggledave]

hey i belive thomas can do the 7 club 360 as well.just he doesnt seem to have 7 clubs solid at all like vova or gatto.

[Galchenko]

"...i belive thomas can do the 7 club 360 as well. just he doesnt seem to have 7 clubs solid at all like vova or gatto."

Maybe that's why he can't do it?

[projugglerboy]

what music does vova listen to when he juggles??? i just noticed the head phones he pulled out of his ears what type of music ?

( sorry for commenting so many times).....

[Galchenko]

"what music does vova listen to when he juggles?"

Music he likes. Some of his favorites are Eminem, Pink Floyd, 50 Cent, Queen...

"what type of music?"

Mostly Rap, Classic and Classical Rock.

[Galchenko]

"sorry for commenting so many times"

Nothing to sorry here. You are welcome.

[projugglerboy]

well you didnt find it probably because i have very bad spelling

[Galchenko]

Olga told me later that this is a common mistake "lossen" instead of "loossen". :-)

[projugglerboy]

like he relaxes to much

[Galchenko]

OK, probably "loossen" then. Sorry, I am not a native speaker and I couldn't find "lossen" in my dictionary.

[projugglerboy]

it looks like when hes collecting and he drops one it looks like he lossens up alot and thats why he drops

[Galchenko]

What means "lossen"?

[jugglegenius]

quote:"Um... let me see. I guess when I'm lucky, 100 throws of 5 balls, 50 throws 4 clubs, 5-10 throws 5 clubs. I can do 4 b mills mess, 5 b shower, 5 b multishower, 5 b 5up. I haven't tried any siteswaps, except for 642 (I think). "

You usually count at catches not throws buddy.

[birdstamper14]

dont know where to be pist of... if you ask it me he just can do it

[abyssaljuggler]

i'm struggling with 7 club 5 up 360s aswell i know how u feel jks ur awsome as man

[djbribe]

damn thats funny when vova kick that club across the gym!! Not to laugh at somebogy eles's misfortunes at all - he's great, i'd love to be able to even flash 7 clubs! i'm just saying i certainley do understand.

Great vid!

.

[Wilimalabar]

ola

excelente video

soy chileno

nos vemos

saluos

bye

[bornametalman]

Actually, to be more precise, I can imitate Vova's 5 ball routine from the Fatboy Slim video when he is on the roof.

[EggYolk]

mr galchenko? you havnt been posting videos... you still there?

[Galchenko]

I am here. Yes, haven't been posting. No time. Finally I will post some more.

[perfectthrows]

It's funny to watch someone else get frustrated...maybe now I understand why my nieghbors really enjoy watching me practice my juggling..lol.

[bornametalman]

I need some feedback. I have been juggling for about a year and can do usually 15-20 throws of 6 balls. Is this normal progression?

[Galchenko]

It says nothing. How many catches with 5 can you do? What tricks can you do with 5, 4 balls? Do you do clubs?

[bornametalman]

Um... let me see. I guess when I'm lucky, 100 throws of 5 balls, 50 throws 4 clubs, 5-10 throws 5 clubs. I can do 4 b mills mess, 5 b shower, 5 b multishower, 5 b 5up. I haven't tried any siteswaps, except for 642 (I think).

[Galchenko]

Well, it is pretty fast progression then.

[bornametalman]

Thanks

[ultimatewannabe]

Normal is a broad term. You should tell us about your practice schedule so I could be more exact but it's not bad. Definately not drop dead amazing but not bad.

UW

[Yomay]

Oh no... Vova is losing his skills... he is now defined as a "bad juggler, grade 3"

[pinkxopanties]

i like when he throws his clubs at 2:04, he looks cute and funny when he throws up his hands

[themusician31]

poor old vova :(

i sympathise very much because when I keep dropping a club, or a ball, i usually get really frustrated, so much so that i can't actually juggle till I calm down :)

[Yomay]

Me too

[ElizarTringov]

He said he was usually frustrated in his practices so it shouldn't be a suprise.

[bornametalman]

Was Vova actually frustrated? If so, he has got some lofty standards...

[Galchenko]

Yes, he was actually frustrated. I have to say Vova improved a lot in this sense since he left Russia 3 years ago. I mean he keeps himself under control much better than three years ago. This kick is a peak of his frustration for a month he is in Russia.

[bornametalman]

I understand. Dropping can drive me insane sometimes!
