Tutorial Request: Backcrosses

[Jamony1]

Could you do a tutorial on 3 club alberts and treblas Please?

[Jamony1]

Do you need to be able to do 3 ball backcrosses beofre learning this?

[ctjuggles]

@Jamony1 Not at all. I think it's easieer with clubs in some ways.

[maarten765]

It helps a lot.

[maiL1984]

Thanks for the helpful advice.

[jugglewilhelm720]

one backcros is simple but 2 or 3 is much more difficult how i can practice that?

[eMretsiM]

I've started working on backcrosses recently, and that pyramid practice method you've mentioned in other tutorials seems to work nicely. Around 10 sets of 2 backcrosses in a row, then 4 or 5 sets of 3 in a row, and finishing off with a set of 4 in a row.

[obsidianfinger]

Great tutorial. I nearly have it after watching this video. Flourish tutorial was nice too!

[MGZolyn]

wow this really helps! i remember watching it when it was first posted, but i wasn't even working on backcrosses at the time. now that i am practicing them, i will definitely use your tips :]

[guitarpro112]

hey,just a question...

which style is harder????

[ctjuggles]

I think the style in which you look side to side is harder-- but it looks cooler.

[awieder213]

hey were do you buy your equiptment, i like the look of those white balls you use, also it looks liek the clubs have a nice flight weight

what do you reccomend?

[ctjuggles]

I use 2.75 sportjugglingco balls, slightly underfilled and Renegades 85mm.

[iamsomotionless]

nice tutorial it was helpful. i was wonderring if im the only one that finds backcrosses with balls harder than with clubs?

[ChristianEskelund]

backcrosses with balls ARE harder than clubs. !!!!!!!!!!!

[R0mai]

For me ball bxxs are easier though I just started working on club bxxs.

So maybe its gonna change.

[ChrisBabez]

can u do flats? ctjuggles

[ctjuggles]

Poorly, but yes.

[ChrisBabez]

i learned to do like 50 catches on one week, its not difficult, how many can u do?

[ctjuggles]

I don't really know. I haven't really drilled that trick to see how many I can get. I've just sort of tossed that one in there for 12 catches or so after doing other things. What I really want to be able to do it run that trick for like 12 catches right after triples. Can you do that? If so, any hints?

[ChrisBabez]

i can, i do some doubles, verry low. and then some flats. and then 360 into doubles.. never really tryed triples. doubles looks fine if you keep them low, were you thinking of connections?

[maarten765]

Good tutorial ctjuggles! It helps a lot! I can almost do the 3 club backcrosses!

[ChrisBabez]

hey, dk?

[maarten765]

dk?

[ctjuggles]

Cool! Post a vid-- I'd love to see it.

[maarten765]

Well i can´t speak very good English, but my video camare can´t be videos in Windows Movie Maker remixen... :( So i wil post but i can´t!

[ChristianEskelund]

haha, i did my first 3 club backcrosses flash today. Hurray for me, and the verry same day i could do the flash many times, and proper. I worked 30 min on it.. i never really worked hard on it until now! :)

[danmeakin]

great tutorial as always. ive started practicing and can get 2 throws at a time consistantly but three is really messy at the moment but im sticking with it. ill upload a video when i get closer

thanks very much for all your tutorials

[ctjuggles]

Sounds like good progress really. Hard trick. I'd love to see a post from you!

[ctjuggles]

Thank you. And thanks for watching it!

[Aden0]

Great video! Your other ones rock aswell!

Im sooo jealous of your wee juggling store in the background! :O :(

[ctjuggles]

Wee juggling store-- ha ha! Great comment.

[mampiciPB1]

..every your videos are cool ;)..you is very good cool juggler..

[ctjuggles]

Thanks !

[mindset36]

thankyou thankyou i cant thankyou enough for making this tutorial but i hate to say this but i wont be learning this because my clubs were stolen and clubs cost a lot of money i was wondering what r your favorite props to juggle

[ctjuggles]

So sorry to hear about the theft. I prefer clubs, since I think they are the hardest thing to juggle.

[RabbitDance]

Could someone learn how to juggle clubs by using plungers as the props? I am saving for clubs, but using plungers in the meantime. It is silly, but it will be a while until I can afford clubs. What do you think? I am learning cascade. What tricks could someone do with plungers, what tricks would you recomend not to do? Thank you.

[ctjuggles]

Yes, you could learn that way... the weight difference will throw you off a bit. Get the Airflights made by Dube-- they're like $9 each. Pretty cheap...

[mampiciPB1]

..every your videos are cool ;)..you is very good cool juggler..

[tjbjuggler1000]

Thank you so much - excellent tutorial as usual, just fab! I've been trawling the net for something as helpful, but there's nothing else out there! Brilliant. Cheers!

[ctjuggles]

Thanks for compliments!

[mampiciPB1]

..every your videos are cool ;)..you is very good cool juggler..

[OrphanEater1]

Is this the kind of trick you should learn with balls first? Or are they different enough so that it doesnt really matter?

[ctjuggles]

I guess I think those two props are different enough... BUT doing it with balls first would get you used to the general idea of timing and placement, so it can't hurt, right?

[lewisjmkennedy01]

thanks for making this video. this will REALY help me!!!

btw you are VERY GOOD at backxx's

[dave597]

thanks, great tutorial. i can do 3 ball bxxs indefinitely but never really got anywhere with clubs. i will give them a try in the summer when i am less busy and can juggle outside!

[eMretsiM]

I think it'll be a while before I learn to do this, but I'll make sure I watch this video again if/when I do!

[ctjuggles]

Thanks for all the great comments and suggestions, guys!

[ctjuggles]

You know what? I DID learn it with doubles first. I guess I THINK it might be helpful to learn the singles version first, if that is what one eventually aspires to do. What's YOUR opinion on that?

[faaipdeoaid4]

Nice tutorial, this is something i've been working on. So far i have only gotten 2 consecutive throws in it.

[TYLERZAJAC]

this is great dude

[ericsurf6]

Bravo! I've always had trouble with backcrosses. Well done, thanks for the tutorial Chris.

[aaronbowenbf]

r u rich it seems like u have such a big place and u have so much cool things that i dont have

[thegoheads]

great video Chris! I have really been struggling with backcrosses. I can almost do continuous backX with doubles, but only 3 or 4 in a row on singles, and i usually end up doing the "funky dance" just to get that far. I've been practicing backX tennis, and backX half-shower A LOT but my left hand can't keep up. I'll be making a new club video when my backcrosses become more stable. Thanks for making all these great tutorials!

[ctjuggles]

Thanks, Steve! Oh, and I made the xtakes vid last night. I'll post it soon.

[pats4patrick213]

ahahaha nice funky dance. like orphaneater1 said being able to do solid backcrosses from one hand while doing normal throws from the other hand is a HUGE help. that and backcross tennis. two best drills for backcrosses. also going for flashes of 3 backcrosses is a huge help. only other thing i would say is that if youre just learning 3 clubs throw a backX every once in a while just to get used to the throw. ive been working on reverse backXs once i get that down i think ill make a tut on both.

[ctjuggles]

Do it! Jacobsk wants that tutorial. So do I.

[OrphanEater1]

another drill one might consider:

- Throwing only backcrosses with X hand, and normal throws with the other. You should generally be able to do this about 20 times before starting backcrosses. Its best to be able to do it "forever"

I found that this exercise really helped when I was having trouble with these (I still do, I need to work on it more). Diving right into backcrosses can be, well, dangerious if your normal behind the back throws are weak. Great turotial!

[thegoheads]

i call that a "backcross half-shower" just because i haven't heard any other name for it.

[ctjuggles]

Excellent suggestion.

[jac0bsk]

Thanks for this, but I'm already able do that so... how about reverse backcrosses? Another tutorial would be nice (no pressure) :)

[ctjuggles]

I think pats4patrick is going to do this tutorial.

[pats4patrick213]

ill do it but no guarantees that it will be any good but ill try and help out as much as i can.

[kzSoUlFaThEr]

Ct you are da man :) so you said "im getting old"...I am also 38...you think I should avoid them?

[ctjuggles]

No, I am just a wuss.

[IronMonkey8]

Great stuff chris.. :) keep it up man.

[chazmagic1]

are you using renegade clubs and if so what size? I used to own 5 and practiced frequently on concrete and finally trashed them, but I really liked the weight and feel of them. I am looking to get another set.

[ctjuggles]

I use Renegades 85m but truthfully recommend 95mm.

[ranajo3]

thanks HUGE HELP!!

[vandrizzle]

thank you jesus!

[ijc64]

I like it how everyone else's tutorials just show them doing it, then them in slow motion, and then they say "Now, go do it." You have the best tutorials, hands down.

[ctjuggles]

Very kind words. Many thanks.

[DaJesta23]

Nice tutoria! Ill have to refer back to it when i get my clubs, by the way what type of clubs do you prefer or recommend? Ill have to remember to keep good posture when doing my backcrosses with balls too, thanks.

[zxq12]

thank you soooo much, im getting into three or more throws now so i will post a response video (hopefully) of my progress!
