Vova's solo performance, November 2006

[MegaKillMeister]

what actually happened in the car accident? or is it too sad to talk about (which, if so, I would really understand)

[Galchenko]

@MegaKillMeister Vova fell asleep at the wheel. The car flipped in the air and landed on its roof. Vova was lucky enough, but he got 20 stitches on his arm...

[MegaKillMeister]

@Galchenko wow,  that's pretty bad...

[infamousjewPS3]

What kind of juggling balls are he using?

[Galchenko]

@infamousjewPS3 Vova uses the beanbags from the Sport Juggling Company.

[levischreiber]

[VovaGalchenko]

Hello Mr. Galchenko was wondering if you tell me how the song is called Vova used after the routine balls Thanks

[Galchenko]

@crisfasek

Sorry, I didn't understand your question.

[kawakazi29]

@Galchenko Probably English as a second language.

[25bananasaday]

@crisfasek its a remix of dj shadow 'organ donor'

[treywedge]

For some reason, I couldn't find the intentional drop.

[Galchenko]

@treywedge

There were not any intentional drops in this performance.

[treywedge]

@Galchenko

I'm sorry that was my weak attempt at humor, what I meant was..it's nice, but rare to see such a technical routine done completely clean. Thanks for this channel, and all your replies.

[Galchenko]

@treywedge

No problem, Treywedge.

[stewinsalot]

dang, I wish I were 1/4 as cool as Vova

[folkrocker]

Vova is a serious talent!

[hakansson20]

[hakansson20]

[Galchenko]

[Galchenko]

"Organ Donor" by DJ Shadow.

[Horaciow14]

The trick which he throws the clubs around his back, not the song

[Galchenko]

Sorry. This is body throws (aka crotch throws or alberts).

[Klicky117]

A awesome show! ^.^

What's the name of the first and second song?

[Galchenko]

"What's the name of the first and second song?"

The very first song (a few seconds) is Exorcist movie theme, the second one is "Chateau" from Matrix movie, the third - "Organ Donor" by DJ Shadow.

[hakansson20]

[Galchenko]

[epolako]

Juggling Masterclass,

[teatreeandmint]

[JugglingGeeks]

Vova did a great recovery after 17 days:) I think it is amazing that he actually could do 7 clubs so well after the accident:) great job!!!:)

[lucky1511max]

awesome juggling

[hakansson20]

the car accident??? what do you mean???

[Galchenko]

"the car accident??? what do you mean?"

Vova got into the car accident 17 days before this show. He got more than 20 stitches on his arm and could not juggle at all.

[EvanJuggle]

Was there any worry that Vova could never juggle again?

[Galchenko]

I guess Vova had certain worries right after the accident, but before doctors examined his arm.

[hakansson20]

1:13 what song???

[Galchenko]

"1:13 what song?"

"Organ Donor" by DJ Shadow.

[Galchenko]

[AmatuerJuggling]

What clubs does Vova use?

[Galchenko]

PX3s.

[ketchjustin]

[joasten]

When Vova was at age 10-15 did he ever stretch out under the practice?

[Galchenko]

"When Vova was at age 10-15 did he ever stretch out under the practice?"

Well, not sure if I understood you right, but Vova did stretching out during the practice when he was at the circus school, i.e. till the age of 13.

[devilllsh]

Pure talent!

He kind of reminds me of Ben Stiller

[bobdaman11]

Wow! I love the high-medium-low shower!

[joasten]

where did he perform and what people did he perform for old people grown up childs?

[Galchenko]

"where did he perform..."

Look at the video description.

"...what people did he perform for old people grown up childs?"

Sorry, I didn't understand your question.

[joasten]

when you perform you perform for a odience. or people. how old was the people ca?

[Galchenko]

"how old was the people ca?"

In this audience? They were mostly kids.

[joasten]

music?

[Galchenko]

"music?"

What music?

[joasten]

All teh songs that were used in this video

[Galchenko]

"All teh songs that were used in this video"

The very first song (a few seconds) is Exorcist movie theme, the second one is "Chateau" from Matrix movie, the third - "Organ Donor" by DJ Shadow. The song that plays during the 4 club routine is "Runnin'" by Tupac and The Notorious B.I.G., Instrumental. The song at 3:10 is "The Crystal Method - Keep Hope Alive".

Vova compiled this phonogram from these pieces and probably more, I don't remember.

[joohda]

[paolo530287]

[strivin4him]

I'm sorry. I didn't understand your response. Do you mean "So was I"?

[Galchenko]

"Do you mean "So was I"?"

Yes, sorry.

[strivin4him]

Great great great juggling. I was just a little disappointed that you really didn't acknowledge the audience.

[Galchenko]

"I was just a little disappointed that you really didn't acknowledge the audience."

So as I.

[craig4sum1]

ur the best juggler i've ever seen! honestly

[gilder37]

holly shit he fucking owns i bet he won the show i dont know alot of ppl who can juggle like that

[astrociccio]

your tricks are illegal! you are my god

[Galchenko]

First of all I am not Vova. And what do mean saying that his tricks are illegal? Probably you are confusing words. Maybe "insane" instead of "illegal" or something like that?

[astrociccio]

its illegal!!!!

[Galchenko]

"its illegal!!!"

What is illegal?

[NoDropsAllowed]

dont mind them, they're just kids.

[Galchenko]

"dont mind them..."

Don't mind who?

"...they're just kids."

Who are kids?

[NoDropsAllowed]

astrociccio for instance. They say words with out even knowing what they mean, sry if i crossed the line. Just my opinion

[Galchenko]

Well, astrociccio is not a kid. He is 24.

[NoDropsAllowed]

a 24 year who dosent know what illegal means?

[Galchenko]

"a 24 year who dosent know what illegal means?"

He is not an English speaker. So why not?

[NoDropsAllowed]

and do you really belive he is 24? come on

[Galchenko]

"do you really belive he is 24?"

Yes, I do.

[NoDropsAllowed]

ok.

[timmetje3]

ok well thanks for all the comments to me :)ur cool :P

[timmetje3]

why?

[Galchenko]

Too expensive.

[timmetje3]

[Galchenko]

"hope i will see you there later :)"

I won't be there.

[timmetje3]

how much ages is vova already practicing juggling. thanks

[Galchenko]

"how much ages is vova already practicing juggling."

Almost 15 years.

[puntspusy]

zaje fuckin bisty

[filuci]

zajebiste

[jugglerman7]

Vova have a much better pattern on his 7 club runs than anthony and can do all the tricks smoother than gatto!

[Galchenko]

"Vova have a much better pattern on his 7 club runs than anthony..."

I don't think so.

"... and can do all the tricks smoother than gatto!"

Again, I don't agree with you on this.

[kaitfaery]

That was a great performance! I love the Matrix music in the beginning. =)

+ ***** !

[DaveGbg]

I mean how much does vova practice every day?

[Galchenko]

"how much does vova practice every day?"

2-3 hours.

[DaveGbg]

How a lot exercizes vova and olga each day?

[Galchenko]

"How a lot exercizes vova and olga each day?"

Not sure what you mean?

How much exercises Vova and Olga do every day?

Or how much exercises Vova and Olga did every day?

When? What exercises?

[loddanxvi]

But knows you why Gatto does not compete in wjf? I believe he do not want to sensible that vova is better than him in clubs?:)

[Galchenko]

"But knows you why Gatto does not compete in wjf?"

What the reason for Gatto to compete? He thinks he doesn't need to prove anything, he thinks everybody knows Anthony is the best, he thinks he proved he is the best winning numerous awards on different circus festivals including Golden Clown in Monte Carlo.

[Galchenko]

"I believe he do not want to sensible that vova is better than him in clubs?"

I am not sure if Vova is better than Anthony in clubs. Some things in clubs Vova can do better, other things - Anthony. I would say they are more or less equal in solo clubs.

[loddanxvi]

hello is vova best in the world? in wich categorys? i think he is best! in all categorys

[Galchenko]

"hello is vova best in the world?"

No.

"in wich categorys?"

Maybe in clubs he is the best.

"i think he is best! in all categorys"

I don't think so. At least in balls and rings Anthony Gatto is better than Vova.

[KanonSommer]

why did vova get kicked out of the cirkus school when he was young?

[Galchenko]

"why did vova get kicked out of the cirkus school"

The formal reasons of Vova getting kicked out of the Circus School were the bad performance on the BJC 2001 and his bad behavior at the Convention. Both reasons were blatant lie. Olga was sent down in a month just because she kept practice with Vova out of the Circus School.

[ChristianEskelund]

vova must have many hard times with juggling, Screaming, smashing the clubs against each other. Being hard on olga. But theres good times too, when your favorite trick finally suceed you, and you learn new stuff. Thats great. And to progress and seeing your self getting better. But sometimes vova must have forgot that. What i think have made vova so good is ofcurse you to push him to the limits, make him keep practicing, They didnt enjoy their practice, but they enjoyed the outcome

Damn im good?

[Galchenko]

"What i think have made vova so good is ofcurse you to push him to the limits..."

Well, Vova is so good, because first of all HE pushed himself to the limits. He worked hard and that's why he is so good in juggling.

"They didnt enjoy their practice..."

Not always, sometimes they did enjoy practicing.

[Galchenko]

I may only guess about real reasons of why the director kicked Vova out of the school. I think Vova became too independent for the director's liking. Vova was the only person who could speak English and could organize things without involving the director. For instance, at the BJC 2001 Vova told the organizers that parents paid for the UK visas out of their own pockets, so the organizers should reimburse parents directly instead of giving money to the director.

[jucrespo]

Caraca o brother manda pacas parece

que não tem gravidade alguma...

parabensss vc eh 10

[JugglingFool92]

Who was Vova's idol when he was growing up? And what does he think of being an idol for so many? Also what inspired Vova to learn to juggle.

Sorry for all of these questions by the way, its just that i am a huge fan. I appreciate u answering them even if u don't have to. :)

[Galchenko]

"Who was Vova's idol when he was growing up?"

I think nobody.

"And what does he think of being an idol for so many?"

I don't know.

"... what inspired Vova to learn to juggle."

He learned to juggle at the Circus School. Juggling was one of mandatory classes. After Vova was kicked out of the circus school, he was inspired to work hard on his juggling to prove he can achieve great results without their circus school.

[JugglingFool92]

Can you tell me what kind of balls and clubs Vova uses and where I might be able to get some?

[Galchenko]

"Can you tell me what kind of balls and clubs Vova uses..."

The beanbags Vova juggles are from the Sport Juggling Company. Clubs - PX3-Vegas special (PX3-SDS).

"...where I might be able to get some?"

Just google it. YouTube doesn't allow to post the links.

[JugglingFool92]

I love to watch vova juggle. He is so amazing. Do you know how many hours vova juggled a day to get this good? I juggle everyday for at least two hours and i'm have trouble just learning 5 ball tricks. Also what is the name of the first song?

[Galchenko]

"Do you know how many hours vova juggled a day to get this good?"

2-3 hours a day.

"Also what is the name of the first song?"

The very first song (a few seconds) is Exorcist movie theme, the second one is "Chateau" from Matrix movie.

[Galchenko]

"Is Vova better with one hand than the other when juggling?"

Yes, Vova is better with his right hand when juggling.

[1Dreamking]

This guy is amazing. =)

I can barely juggle 2 balls. ;)

Let me know when he does an act blindfolded =)

[NViriya]

is Vova an ambidexter? meaning able to use both hands equally well

[Galchenko]

"is Vova an ambidexter?"

I don't think so. At least he can write with his right hand much better than with his left one. Moreover maybe he can't write with his left hand at all.

[FYIRidleyScott]

amidextrous

[kattoja]

Awesome!

[speedjuggler10]

[5tuntman99]

[5tuntman99]

hey no probs, and if u dont mind me saying, i love ure choice of music, its really motivating towards juggling, and i have downloaded pretty much all of the main tracks u use for vova juggling :)

[Galchenko]

"...i love ure choice of music..."

That was Vova's choice of music for this act.

[DiabolOmer]
