[KARLOSTAR100]

wow 7 club kickup!

[bozobozo]

though no one likes dropping, I think this video is REALLY inspirational - it motivates me to try harder in spite of my mistakes, just like Vova does!

Good job - and I never thought that a 6 club sync fountain would look so beautiful!

[juggliac]

I think it's funny when he kicks things when he drops, or when he hits himself in the head with the club towards the bginning. Great video!

[juggling4jesus]

Thats my favorite part, vova beating himself in the head with a club while juggling 3 in the other hand

[juggliac]

ya, lol

[juggling4jesus]

I love that song can you give me the name

[Galchenko]

"...can you give me the name"

"Lost for Words" by Pink Floyd.

[juggling4jesus]

Thank you

[NikitaGamolsky]

That line of 5 ball tricks from 3:31 to 4:00 was awesome!!

[blauerbaer]

hi nice vid :-)human !

did vova attend at the israel conventionnext year ?

[Galchenko]

"did vova attend at the israel conventionnext year ?"

You mean "Will Vova attend the Israeli convention next year?"? By now he doesn't have such plans.

[laxandjugglingguy]

has vova tried and 7 club backxx's

[Galchenko]

"has vova tried and 7 club backxx's"

Yes, it is in his daily practice.

[EvanGatte]

[Galchenko]

Not sure.

[rhalfik]

75751

[Galchenko]

"What's the siteswap at 3:33-3:35?"

Probably 645.

[nutleyevan]

What Is A Siteswap? :S

[Galchenko]

"What Is A Siteswap?"

Just Google it. Siteswap is a notation used to describe juggling patterns.

[nutleyevan]

Lol I Did Ha

Thanks (Y)

[Spathever]

97531 bxx with clubs?!!! Holy Galchenko, Batman.

[tasemm]

hey whats the siteswap at 3:41 i cant understand :S

[Galchenko]

"whats the siteswap at 3:41"

I don't know.

[unjongleur]

siteswap is 75751

[abyssaljuggler]

75751

[yamoy12]

oh that siteswap is called 75751 with 5 balls

[Mushr00mP3opl3]

3:41 siteswap- 75751 ... maybe...

[RabbitDance]

I love the personalty. (hitting in the head) lol

[juggledave]

am i the only one who thinks vovas drops are acutlly impressive looking?

[Drdepper0007]

This 5 Ball Sequenze was very beautiful...

[Sjoerdmartens]

wat's the song name?

[Galchenko]

"wat's the song name?"

"Lost for Words" by Pink Floyd.

[yamoy12]

who the heck would ask if vova can do a B97531 clubs.. you gotta be kidding me

[juggledave]

hmmm well i did and hey why not if thomas can do b55555 with 5s as flats a b97531 doesnt seem impossable

[NikitaGamolsky]

he did a 97531 with clubs all bx ing all of it

so i think its very possible

[bBALLRY1234]

he's better than gatto with clubs. His 7 club routine is amazing

[RUBENKNEX]

lol the 6 club async looks uber perfect

[ghost0711]

when vova juggle 6 clubs, how many spins are there in a throw ?

[Galchenko]

It depends on the pattern he is doing. It may be 2, 3 or 4 spins.

[juggledave]

can vova do a 6 club b97531?

[Galchenko]

"can vova do a 6 club b97531?"

Too hard I guess and it needs way too high ceiling. Anyway he never tried.

[Joshfairhead]

Great attempts, love the way he gets pissed at dropping one when doing 7. you must be very proud of him. good luck

[ChrisN94]

man this must be sooo anoying. insane attemps at the 7 club 7 up 360, have you made it yet?

[Galchenko]

"insane attemps at the 7 club 7 up 360, have you made it yet?"

He made it.

[67561a]

woooow. do you have a video? that would be wonderful to see! thanks!

[Galchenko]

"do you have a video? that would be wonderful to see!"

Unfortunately I don't have a video of it with a clean finish, but Vova told me he made it about a year ago. You can see 18 catches after the pirouette in my video "Last day in Penza".

[MadJuggler6]

Ah... I feel your anger Vova, when I drop I have to pull myself together as well. (Lots of the time it's after I kick my props everywhere.)

[unjongleur]

so umm... how the hell can he do that?

everything seems to be so perfect as well, like the exact hieghts for 97531 etc.

[pats4patrick213]

thank you for posting this. its good to see that even someone as good as vova drops once in a while. when i first started seriously juggling (after juggling 3 balls for about 2 years and then realizing there was more out there) vova and olga were and still are a big inspiration to keep me motivated. i learned a 5 ball cascade in a month thanks to inspiration like vova, olga, jason garfield, anthony gatto, and ivan pecel.

[Paco319]

:D i just amagen that they jungeling granades

[yogivalentine]

Vova i think a 7up-966 (with balls) would be sweet, and also 4 club shoulder throws to 4up back to shoulder throws andddddddd maybe a clip of some attempted 7 club bxx

[novabrian]

That sucks do it with chainsaw!!!

[themusician31]

It was funny when he tried to collect the 7 balls at the end and dropped one, then he stared at it for a second or two then kicked it dead hard lol. I something do the exact same thing (with 5 balls, not 7 of course) cos it's really annoying.

And the kick up to 6 clubs was awesome

[Galchenko]

"And the kick up to 6 clubs was awesome"

You mean to 7?

[themusician31]

oh, at 1.28 he does a kick up to 6 clubs, I missed the kick up from 6 into 7 clubs at the end :) That's even better!

[Jugglenerd]

Was that 97531 in backcrosses? The drops were painful but it was worth watching for the amazing tricks.

[Galchenko]

"Was that 97531 in backcrosses?"

Yes.

[wowser77]

lol

[bloobedyblahblah12]

I hold the deepest respect for Vova.

[bloodythumbs3]

flashy 8 clubs is insane skill

[JimboWizbo]

Gatto can officially qualify 8 clubs! Its not natural I tell you

[projugglerboy]

huh wounder why he never tried im sure he could do it easy hes like the best juggler ever

[Galchenko]

Well, I also think he could do it with a little practice. I guess he didn't tried it, because he doesn't have enough time for all things to try.

[projugglerboy]

Mr. galchenko can vova do a neck catch and can he flsah 8 clubs?

[Galchenko]

He can do a neck catch and he never tried 8 club flash. So I would say he can't do 8 club flash by now.

[mtahie]

thanks for this video, it makes me believe again vova is a real human being ;)

[123Luke456]

take a chill pill

[juggledave]

vova throws his stuff aroundalot i know i do this but mine just breaks how often does like a px3 of his snap ???

[Galchenko]

For three months he was in Penza it never happened.

[bloodythumbs3]

you would have to be a screwing around like a maniac to break a club

[juggledave]

not really a few of my px3s knobs have fallen off but i got told it was a fault so u know

[projugglerboy]

the 7 up 360 with clubs was sweet !!! idc bout the drops it was cool

[smilzo82]

so great! i don't known other words to say how you juggle so great! ..take care!

[goedzomenno]

I think this is the best video of vova

(In tricks)

[mc1703]

the kick up was awesome

[goedzomenno]

That last trick *kick up was co clean!!!

So good a 7 up 360!!!

[Pulkk1nen]

Galchenko, Does Olga even juggle?You sayd he doesn't really practice, And heres comments about she have gived up?? is it true?shes one of my favorite jugglers

[Galchenko]

Yes, this is true, but read the comment above.

[TedTracy]

Ow man your kidding. I can't beleave she gave it up. The juggling community wont be the same without her robot dancing 7 club flash and teaser videos. Thats too bad, she is one of my favorit jugglers. Is Cal still her first choice? I go to UC Davis and would really enjoy meeting her and possibly passing with her.

[Galchenko]

From my chat with Barry yesterday: "...Oh, another surprise from Olga this morning. She said 2 of her teachers, Econ and Calculus, have been encouraging her to start juggling again. I asked her what their reasons were, and she said because it would be cool. And she said it would be cool, and she wants me to take her to renew her performing permit for the Promenade. She said she was going to start practicing today..."

So we'll see.

[Galchenko]

"Is Cal still her first choice?"

Yes.

"I go to UC Davis and would really enjoy meeting her and possibly passing with her."

As far as I know UC Davis is not on her list.

[TedTracy]

I didn't think she was interested in Davis, but the campuses are very close and there is even a shuttle that goes inbetween them for a small fee for students. On a side note, i was recruited for track to uc davis, but when i got here i dropped it and i feel it was the best decision i made. I Have been running my whole life, same as her juggling, so i understand where she is comming from. Thanks for the responce Mr. Galchenko.

[mtahie]

It's good to see Vova dropping.

But he cares to much himself.

[Yomay]

Omg, 6 club splits... or something.

[tanpopo03]

Olga gave up on juggling?? Really? Oh man... that's too bad!! I always liked them best when they performed togehter. Well... but it's her decision after all.

All the best to both of them!

[MasterKatra42]

This makes me not want to request tricks for Vova to try. If it takes him too many tries, someone could get hurt.

[Galchenko]

Well, 100 attempts is an exaggeration. I am not sure how many exactly. Maybe 20 or so.

[ultimatewannabe]

I like it. Nice to he's at least kinda human too.

UW

[Nesdoog]

I hope all you guys responding are jugglers...We all get frustrated at times and want to throw the equipment around. I do too from time to time.

And those were some nice five club back cross 360's.

Vova never ceases to blow me away. Though I wouldn't mind seeing some more from Olga...

[Galchenko]

"Though I wouldn't mind seeing some more from Olga..."

She gave up juggling, unfortunately.

[NessFreaK]

Thats pretty depressing.... wicked 6 club stuff there at the end.

I also liked the 5 club backcrosses into 4 club triple head smash

[eagle83scout]

He seems like he gets really frustrated with the drops.... is that all self-imposed or has he been pushed for a long time for perfection? He should relax and not get so mad when he messes up. Hopefully he realizes how really great he is, and to make a few mistakes is only human!

[Galchenko]

"He seems like he gets really frustrated with the drops..."

Well, not so much how you may get an impression from this video. I intentionally chose these tries. It was like after the 100th attempt he finally nailed the move, but dropped while collecting. Isn't it frustrating?

"...is that all self-imposed or has he been pushed for a long time for perfection?"

Definitely not been pushed for perfection.

[Galchenko]

"He should relax and not get so mad when he messes up."

It happens pretty rarely and only in cases like I described above.

[JugglerAndrew]

Wow! Loved the 864 and backcrossed 97531. Not sure if he has anywhere with that high of a ceiling, but could you ask Vova to try b97531? Thanks so much for the videos, keep them coming!

[Yomay]

That would be sweet, although I don't think he can do it... yet. Well he could probably do it to a collect, but back into fountain... that would be hard. Maybe b97531 into 75 though.

And why ask for a b97531 when you can ask for a db97531 ;) I guess he could do that with balls...

[Galchenko]

I asked, he will try.

[Yomay]

Sweet.

[Yomay]

He juggles 6 clubs extremely high?

[Galchenko]

I think no. Not high for 6 clubs.

[Yomay]

Not? When watching Anthony and Toby and Thomas, it seems they juggle it way lower... I think Vova does 6 clubs just slightly lower than Anthony does 8... Yes, I am sure he does it pretty high.

Well if that's better for him, that's good. I just came to think of how hard 6 club shoulder throws would be that high(since I think they look sweet with 4 and hope he will try it with 6 some day)

[Galchenko]

"When watching Anthony and Toby and Thomas, it seems they juggle it way lower..."

It doesn't seem to me they juggle 6 clubs any lower. Toby can do it lower, when he does 6 clubs on doubles like 6 club columns.

"I think Vova does 6 clubs just slightly lower than Anthony does 8..."

I don't think so.

"Yes, I am sure he does it pretty high."

I am sure he doesn't.

[Galchenko]

"Well if that's better for him, that's good. I just came to think of how hard 6 club shoulder throws would be that high(since I think they look sweet with 4 and hope he will try it with 6 some day)"

He did try it already. He has 6 club shoulder throws on one of his videos. He succeeded in it last winter as far as I remember.

[Yomay]

Wow, that's awesome! Is that video on the net? Cos I haven't seen it... Can you, post a link or tell which video it was?

[Yomay]

K, I saw the video. That was sooo nice... I had seen it before, but somehow I mistook it for 5 club backxx.

[juggledave]

lol i miss took it for 7 clubs lol weird

[Yomay]

I don't know how I could mistake it for 5 clubs... Vova runs 5c backxx way longer than that... Strange. Maybe I just thought without knowing "it can't be 6 or 7, cos that would be too hard" and found no other solution...

[ultimatewannabe]

WJF Profile Video 4:51 in to it.

[juggledave]

omg he did a 5 up in backx back into them and at 4.15 97531 all in backx !!! thats amazing go vova

[projugglerboy]

omg lol second clip hes beating over his head with a club

[IndigoKnight]

As Always ...Excellent choice in music and Vova is extraordinary even with the few drops O_o >>>Another video for my Favorites.

[pinkxopanties]

i just said to him that i almost like him being in Russia because i get to see so many more videos of him :P

[Bearingz]

aww poor vova. =/ amazing juggling O_O the first ball drop wudda annoyed the hell outta me 2 -.- had to giggle tho, sorry ^^;

[alteal]

To drop is human. To juggle like Vova is divine. Great juggling.

[steffenfranke]

like to give 6 stars!

[jugglerwim]

[Yomay]

Oh those 7 ups were sweet, I am looking forward to the 5 up 720

[Pulkk1nen]

Cool kick up into 7clubs!! COOL!! i give for this 5-stars
