5 balls

[ctjuggles]

It's on some other videos.

[josesblima]

hey chris no 5 up 360?

[CSjuggling]

what type of juggling balls do you use???

[ScreamingVockills]

i love the overhead arcs and the 2 up 1 at each side...they just look effortless :) only downside is that the siteswaps...i cant follow them :(

and yes chris you should have a go at WJF intermediates or advanced with those 5 ball moves :)

[KAGEJOSE]

I think advanced is too advanced for Chris.

[ctjuggles]

True dat!

[folliargh]

nice video!

[1JugglingJosh]

hey Chris you should learn to do the blind catch with the other 4 balls in the the air

[ctjuggles]

I did that on another video.

[1JugglingJosh]

[1JugglingJosh]

[HUNTYFM]

I still love this video so much, where is the documentary about your studio?

[Henkkaahh]

[Gh0stH5wk]

really good job. I really liked how u put the names of all of the tricks in the videos :D

[InsaneJuggling]

Is that a studio that you got built devoted to juggling, it looks awesome.

[ctjuggles]

Yep. I am a lucky guy.

[jugglingfreakozoid]

[ctjuggles]

sportjugglingco balls 2.75"

[RnDvids]

that trick at 0:39

is awesome

[ctjuggles]

Thanks! Took a while to get it.

[iamsomotionless]

really like this vid and the soundtrack - been folowing your vids for along time, making me want to conquer my 5 ball even more! i t is a painful grind but i see it coming together with every practise!

[ctjuggles]

Very cool! Keep at it.

[iamsomotionless]

Love the soundtrack ! So upbeat!

[Spathever]

I just finished my practice but after seeing this again I feel like juggling some more :D

[ctjuggles]

Great comment. Cool-- do it!

[thegoheads]

0:40 4up1up 360! I tried that for about 1.5 hours, and DIDN'T GET IT!!! not even close. I was bored so I watched this vid again. cool stuff!

[ctjuggles]

Thanks, Steve! It's Saturday-- my day to watch all my YouTube peeps! Woo hoo.

[mynameiZroma]

thats amazing,good job.

[ctjuggles]

Many thanks. Really.

[johnnations]

Chris, you rule. You post, perhaps, the best "Description" text of anyone I've seen on Youtube. Can i use your 2 up simultaneous shoulder throw trick? (uh, if i can learn it?) nice job.

[ctjuggles]

Thanks for the compliment! Of course, use away! I love that trick.

[johnnations]

How the heck do you have the time to get so good at juggling AND make videos when you are a teacher, making lesson plans, grading stuff, getting up really early, and dealing with young students? That is serious juggling at a higher level.

[ctjuggles]

Wow, John, that is a very cool thing for you to say. Compliments about my skill level from someone like yourself means a GREAT deal. As for the answer: I have no life and, at times, sleep just a little. Plus I am one goal-driven dude.

[brent8910]

awsome, 5 balls is proving pretty hard for me, and im having trouble getting over 20 catches. How long did it take you to get the cascade?

[ctjuggles]

A while. Months? Stay patient.

[brent8910]

cool, ive been at it for about a month, and im definatley improving step by step, thanks

[patt1956]

Why won't you reply to my video!!!? <:'(

[patt1956]

Mother *bleep* I'm sick of not getting *bleep* replies. I mean i was supposed to get help a long *bleeping* while ago! I'm just under alot of ----ing stress right now i've been crying constantly and for what i don't get help anyway!

[HUNTYFM]

every time I watch this my heart stops, powerful juggling & a powerful song, one day I will do this

[ctjuggles]

You know, it's the song choice that did it. Thanks for such a cool comment.

[HUNTYFM]

yeh the song really did make it

[patt1956]

Hey it's me again I really need serious major big ass help with this. I just can't keep the pattern going too long i can get 15 catches and that's it however my record for 5 was 25 catches but that's not good enough i wanna do 20 catches most of the time the problem is the pattern is too wide and i can't make it narrow without throwing them high enough. I just need help asap. i even tried doing it outside but the balls slip outta my hands no matter wha

[patt1956]

I tried doing this outside but the balls slip outta my hands no matter what size they are so i may not do this at all. <:'( *cries*

[ctjuggles]

Please post a video so I can watch. I'd be glad to help.

[patt1956]

I just made the video but why does it take 8 FUCKING HOURS!!! <:'( *crying*

[patt1956]

Look at my video right away. It's called 5 ball problems.

[patt1956]

Guess what I got 30 catches today as my record. xD before it was 29 then before that it was 25 then before that it was 23.

[ctjuggles]

Excellent! Feels nice to see progress, no?

[patt1956]

It does feel nice to see progress. In fact i got another new record with 31 catches of 5 ball juggling.

[patt1956]

High it's me again I need MAJOR SERIOUS Mother*bleeping* BIG ASS HELP ASAP! I lost my progress. the balls slip outta my hands all the time no matter what please go straight to my video called 5 ball problems straight away. PLEASE! Even when i didn't throw the balls yet they slipped outta my hands anyway.

[patt1956]

In fact i can't even get 15 catches anymore. Only sometimes but not perfectly as i said before i even threw the balls they slipped outta my hands anyway.

[patt1956]

Also whenever i lose i throw major hissy fit tantrums cry scream and yell.

[patt1956]

Everyone thinks this is a mother fucking joke! WHY?! I'm having serious trouble with mastering 5 and no one helps me!? I asked several times nicely "can you please help me?" and you say NO. Fuck that!

[patt1956]

Sorry but i lose tons of patience trying to master 5 juggling.

[patt1956]

Sorry but i lose tons of patience trying to master 5 juggling.

[ctjuggles]

PLease,.. tone down the language and the crappy attitude. That alone doesn't make people (like me) WANT to help you.

What you are experiencing is extemely typical. Any sport skill works the same way: you progress progresses nicely for a while, then stalls or even slips. It will pass. Just stick with it. If you always get ticked off when you can't get back to 31 catches on any ol' day, you are doomed to hate what you practiced.

[ctjuggles]

Yes, this is obvious. And rather pitiful.

[Jamie08Juggler]

Great juggling :D i love this video i watch it all time try steal your moves :P

Now make a tutorial on some of the tricks you performed :D

also what balls do you use?

Keep up the great work

[ctjuggles]

3" sportjugglingco. balls

[pbjballa]

I can't remember if I have commented on this video. I really like this video of 5 ball juggling. What type of camera do you film with? Your quality is excellent.

Great Juggling Chris, I look forward to watching every video you post in 2008! I will try to post more videos this year too.

[ctjuggles]

Very kind words. I use a SONY hi8. Pretty standard, really. The key is having decent lighting....

[xtaco4BR3AKFASTx]

if you look closly at some clips it looks like the balls shoot out of ur mouth lol!! but nice job keep it up!

[ctjuggles]

That's funny! I'll go look aagin.

[Jamie08Juggler]

Great video!!!

I am currently learning 5 balls. am trying to solidfy my 5 ball cascade and then im gunna use some of the tricks from this video to improve!!

as i said nice video dude.

keep up the good work

[ctjuggles]

Thank you! Kind words.

[jugglerAlex]

thankyou soooo much. i saw this and then went to practise/learn 5 balls and then i was so much better than normal. that is how great you are!!!!

[ctjuggles]

Wow! Very nice.

[jugglerAlex]

that was a bloody quick reply! 2 minutes nice!

[sinppa]

I totally agree with what you say in video description. Having a passionate hobby can indeed be a blessing :) Awesome stuff on that video! Keep on doing more and more of them, I bet I'm not the only one who enjoys them :)

[ctjuggles]

Thank you!

[TamasMZPERX]

You are very good with 5 balls.

[ctjuggles]

thanks

[HUNTYFM]

I have to say,

I'm 14 I love juggling, and I watch great jugglers like Jason Garfield,Vova Galchenko,Thomas Dietz etc.But I feel that I can NEVER acomplish what they have. But people like you bring juggling back down to earth, you are my roll model, so when you do your juggling practise just remember...your some peoples guidance through life. Thank You

By the way how about a video on how you started juggling,your props, and most of all, your juggling house! Thank's again.

[ctjuggles]

You have just said a very kind thing here. Thanks for that. I DO keep it in mind. And I also agree with you about how cool it is to see really GREAT people but also needing to see others who are more on your own plane. You are a cool 14 yr old, Huntyfm.

[HUNTYFM]

Thank You, will you do a vid on your props and u jggle house it looks awesome

[ctjuggles]

Yes. I'm going to do taht one pretty soon!

[pbjballa]

I have to agree with Huntyfm, A video tour of Your juggling studio would be really entertaining!

[ctjuggles]

Cool. I'm on it.

[HUNTYFM]

nice to know my comments are appreciated, thanks.

[discohippiechic]

I really wish i could do better with 5 but i practice every day and i never get better

:sobs in tears:

[lusterwings]

impressive!

[ctjuggles]

HEy, thanks.

[DemijanOmeragic]

Amazing.

[ctjuggles]

Thank you.

[mikenocyc]

I really hope you keep posting often, I always look forward to your videos each week.

[ctjuggles]

Oh, Iwill keep posting! Just not EVERY week. Thanks so much for your support of what I've done this year.

[tad4314]

i agree, i love the weekly video thing too.

[tad4314]

great video ct!! u have come very far over the course of a year and it shows. Keep up the good work, and how many videos are left now?? 2 or 3 i think :(

[ctjuggles]

Thanks for the nice words. (Yeah, it does feel like something when you look at it, less while you're IN it, yeah?) At this moment, I have 3 left. But I'll keep posting.

[fettucinibrother]

Great Stuff... That is a fine selection of 5 ball moves. I've enjoyed your videos throughout the year. I've also enjoyed getting to know you a little better at past juggling conventions. You are a great juggler.

S

[ctjuggles]

I really appreciate that comment, S. It's been so cool to see your vids, too-- international exploits and all!

[MuffinBakersGrimm]

I decided to work on 75751 a few days ago... I pulled it off once... at first I thought it was weird that you did it in a half shower but now I realize it's easier. :)

[ctjuggles]

Yeah, for me, thinking of it as a half shower witha little hand off underneath made the trick so much easier to manage. jcrjuggler taught me this.

[Cl8on91]

Wow! GREAT VIDEO I LIKED THE PART WHERE YOU JUGGLED 5 BALLS!!! Jk taib. But in all seriousness it was a fantastic video and you should feel some great accomplishment, for the most part you've shown you can do anything...... with 5 balls!(except the impssible stuff).

[muxxxa]

I wish I will be able to juggle like this sometime. It's just so delightful what you are doing.

[ctjuggles]

thanks.

[freddysheed]

Really great juggling, you rock Chris!!

[ctjuggles]

Thank you, man. that's high praise from a guy that can do SO much crazy stuff himself. Appreciate it.

[tad4314]

very very good. i believe that 5 balls is the most anyone should be trying tricks with. Its a good number, and great to watch. Great job on the video and cant wait to see more!!!

[ctjuggles]

thanks for taking time to watch it.

[zxq12]

great!

[ctjuggles]

Thanks.

[awesome1022]

Great!Juggling is just your hobby?!?!?! So pofessional!

[ctjuggles]

Only on occasion. Mostly it's a hobby.

[Yomay]

Very nice man, the shuffle switch 77731 is pretty cool. I should be making something like this too, but I'd probably end up trying to do way too hard tricks and not make a video with consistent material. Just wondering, how many tries did you spend for the hardest tricks in here? That could help me a bit.

[ctjuggles]

For this vid, I think I spent a max of 10-ish minnutes, since I was trying just to capture stuff I can actually, more readily DO. Sometimes, though, I'll work at a trick for upwards of an hour.

[toastyjoe625]

Well, this is a first for me. I do not have a single sarcastic comment to make mainly because I cannot perform a single trick in this entire video.

[ctjuggles]

You are so funny. Thanks for watching it, J, and all your support this year.

[toastyjoe625]

Yeah, I am a pretty GREAT (said in Tony the Tiger voice) guy.

[ericsurf6]

You ever do any performing?

[ctjuggles]

Some, about 12 times a year.

[ctjuggles]

Thanks for all the nice comments, everyone! I feel the love!

[MentalT]

nice video!

[ctjuggles]

Thank you. And thanks for watching it!

[thegoheads]

awesome video Chris! you are a very good 5ball trickster! love the comments you made in the description also. my favorites: overhead-half-shower, 1up4up360, and the 3up2shoulder throws!!! soooo cool! you should retake your 5ball practice challenge sometime soon, i'll be doing that soon too with 5balls :)

[ctjuggles]

Thanks for your comments and supportive enthusiasm, man! I think I will do that challenge again, too.

[scarletshaz]

[ctjuggles]

I'd love to see it!

[juggledave]

Keep it up and please don't stop the frequent movie-making in 08!

Thank You!

[ctjuggles]

Oh, I will still make vids in '08. No worries there. Thanks for your kind words, Stein.

[pats4patrick213]

super great video. i plan on making one of these myself (once i get a new camera) documenting my first year of serious juggling. i cant wait to see what you come up with next year.

[ctjuggles]

Oh, yeah, start taping your practice and you'll be hooked. It is a really neat thing to see what kind of progress you can make.

[aussiediabolo]

oops you were right

[aussiediabolo]

wow very good I think its 75441

[juggledave]

ermm no im pretty sure its 75661 as if it was 4's the 2nd 5 and first 4 would hit.

[Yomay]

It is 75661 yeah, 66661 could be a non-crossing version, or 75751 for all crossing.

[wynjones1]

did you learn all those tricks this year?

[ctjuggles]

Not all of them, but most, yes. Nearly ALL of the siteswaps.

[MGZolyn]

awesome! I can't believe it's almost the end of the year! I was always so excited to know that a new video was coming every week. are you going to do the same thing next year?

[ctjuggles]

You are so kind. No. Next year I'll do lots of vids but not the ol' "one every week" deal.

[lewisjmkennedy01]

nice juggling, thanks for making this video.

[ctjuggles]

You are very welcome. Thanks for watching it.

[3up360]

i realy like what you wrote to describe the video ;juggling is my passion !

[ctjuggles]

Excellent. It's a good one.
