7 club moves by Vova, August 2007

[crisfasek]

Hello again my next question is how long it takes to achieve and maintain seven Vova clubs and what is its record high thanks Mr.Galchenko

[Galchenko]

@crisfasek

"how long it takes to achieve and maintain seven Vova clubs..."

It took Vova about 2 years from his first attempts to 100 catches.

"what is its record..."

He never tried to set a record with 7 clubs, but I saw him doing 350 catches with a clean finish.

[masterlegend10]

@Galchenko Will he ever try? I am postively certain he could cream Athony Gatto's record if he attempted to.

[Galchenko]

@masterlegend10

"Will he ever try?"

Who knows... Why should he? He probably could break Anthony's record, but Anthony could break Vova's one. And it will take a lot of efforts from both of them.

[masterlegend10]

@Galchenko I don't know. The reason why I said that is that when he broke the isolated endurance record people did not give has much credit as he should of gotten.

[Tennisers]

@Galchenko Has he ever tried double or single spins?

[Galchenko]

@Tennisers Yes, and he can do both double and single spins. But for singles - not so long. I have a video of Vova doing 10 catches of 7 club singles.

[Mushi98]

@Galchenko can you upload that video of him doing 10 catches of 7 clubs singles?

i have been waiting to see something like that for so long.

thanks

[VovaGalchenko]

@Mushi98 No, Vova doesn't want to show it.

[VovaGalchenko]

@Mushi98 Just watched this video. Unfortunately I was mistaken. That was doubles, not singles. Sorry. :-(

[Tomm0509]

@Galchenko is the 7 clubs singles on youtube?

[Galchenko]

@Tomm0509 No, as far as I know.

[skidjesper]

You are my favourite juggler after Johan Wellton!!

[Galchenko]

@skidjesper

Thanks, but Vova usually doesn't read Youtube comments on his videos, let alone my ones. :-)

[BliesBilli]

[celebrityanimation]

[Galchenko]

"how old where vova when he started to juggle?"

He was 6 years old.

[celebrityanimation]

[Galchenko]

"can olga juggle 7 clubs to?"

No. Only flash.

[celebrityanimation]

i find the video=D

[MiMangereiQualcosaNG]

How long does Vova practise 7 clubs a day? It must be very tiring...

[Galchenko]

Well, now I think he practices 7 clubs for about 20 minutes a day.

[CSjuggling]

so so so so so much better then jason garfield juggling 7 clubs...you are amazing vova!!!!

[DeepeeMe]

Is Vova working on 8 clubs?

[Galchenko]

No.

[DeepeeMe]

He's just working on doing a 7 clubs 7 up 360?

[Galchenko]

He's working on many moves, not just on a 7 club 7 up 360.

[juggler1337]

how long have Vova been working on 7 clubs? when did he do his first 7 club flash?

[Galchenko]

Vova has been working on 7 clubs since fall 2004. And, of course, he did his first 7 club flash in autumn 2004.

[juggler1337]

can vova do any pirouette tricks with 8 or 9 balls?

[Galchenko]

"can vova do any pirouette tricks with 8 or 9 balls?"

Yes, he can do a 8 ball 6 up 360.

[juggling4jesus]

Is there a video because I'd like to see that

[Galchenko]

"Is there a video..."

No, Vova didn't tape it.

[Galchenko]

No, unfortunately I don't have the video of Vova doing a 8 ball 6 up 360.

[aaronthejuggler]

Did vova qualify 8 balls after the 6 up 360 with 8 balls?

[Galchenko]

Sure, otherwise it wouldn't be a successful try.

[aaronthejuggler]

I have another question, Vova has pretty much mastered 7 clubs in my opinion, will he ever work on 8 clubs?

[Galchenko]

I think eventually he will.

[deebee08840]

can vova do a 9 ball 9 up 360?

[Galchenko]

"can vova do a 9 ball 9 up 360?"

No.

[deebee08840]

how much time has Vova been juggling for? =D=D=D=D

[Galchenko]

"how much time has Vova been juggling for?"

15 years.

[Nosrettap99]

How long did it take Vova to perfect 7 clubs? 150 plus catches

[Galchenko]

"How long did it take Vova to perfect 7 clubs? 150 plus catches "

My guess is 1.5 years.

[Nosrettap99]

How many tries does it take Vova to execute a 7 club 7 up 360?

[Galchenko]

"How many tries does it take Vova to execute a 7 club 7 up 360?"

I am not sure. My guess is 5 tries on average.

[Nosrettap99]

How many jugglers in the world can execute a 7 club 5 up 360?

[dstructor7]

vova prolly anthony gatto but idk

[Galchenko]

"How many jugglers in the world can execute a 7 club 5 up 360?"

2. Anthony Gatto and Vova.

[gebboo]

actually, Thomas dietz can do it to.. there is a '26 years of thomas dietz' video where he does that trick. And I would not be surprised when Toby walker or wes peden pulls it off.. But Vova and Gatto got it the most sollid I think

[Galchenko]

"actually, Thomas dietz can do it to.. there is a '26 years of thomas dietz' video where he does that trick."

Unfortunately I can't watch this video in my country. How many catches did Thomas do after the pirouette?

[gebboo]

Not sure, I don't think he qualified it, but it looked pretty sollid. It was a busy trick video where he didn't showed all the qualifies before and after the tricks.

[Galchenko]

"I don't think he qualified it..."

Therefore Thomas didn't get a 7 club 5 up 360.

[juggliac]

very good begginging, very good end, but too many 5 up 360s in between.

[Galchenko]

"...but too many 5 up 360s in between."

I know. Read the video description.

[zzimp1]

the ending was great!

[Galchenko]

Thanks!

[GrDoGRoG]

Is his real name Vova, or is it just a nickname? Hes good at juggling tho :)

[Galchenko]

"Is his real name Vova"

Yes. Vova is a short name for Vladimir.

[ReddVerden]

What are you doing here?! hvorfor ser du på slike ting?

-kristian

[Galchenko]

"What are you doing here?!"

Who?

[GrDoGRoG]

Det var bare en fyr som gav meg en link til den. Vet ikke hvorfor...

[ChristianEskelund]

hvilken fyr? hvem

[gilder37]

wow. what a bamf

[sabelch]

quite possibly tobamf

[mc1703]

can vova do/has vova ever tried a b97531 with clubs?

[Galchenko]

"has vova ever tried a b97531 with clubs?"

No as far as I know.

[ChrisBabez]

Vasili? can i love vova? i mean have feelings for him?

[Galchenko]

Are you a gay? Vova is not a gay.

[ChrisBabez]

and i olso thinks his px3's are very hot! it really turns me on! juggling is the best! your son is amazing! and better than obama!

vova08!

[305juggler]

can he do 7 club doubles or quads?

[Galchenko]

"can he do 7 club doubles..."

Yes.

"...or quads?"

I think he can. I guess Vova throws quards for pirouettes.

[joasten]

can Vova do 7 club singles?

[Galchenko]

"can Vova do 7 club singles?"

Not sure. He can do 6 club singles. I think he would be able to do 7 club singles for a short run, if he gives it a try.

[KAGEJOSE]

Do you have a video where Vova does 7 club doubles?

[Galchenko]

Yes, I have.

[KAGEJOSE]

Can you send me the link to it?

[Galchenko]

"Can you send me the link to it?"

This video is not on the net. It was taped in 2006 and in bad quality. I doubt Vova wants it online.

[KAGEJOSE]

Ah,okay,thanks anyway!

[KAGEJOSE]

But is it any possibility that you can send it to my email?

[Galchenko]

"...is it any possibility that you can send it to my email?"

Vova doesn't like this video and I doubt he wants to share it. Plus this video file takes more than 60 MB and I doubt your e-mail box can receive it.

[KAGEJOSE]

Ah, OK.

[timmetje3]

How long is Vova already training on clubs?

and whut is hese faforite number of clubs to juggle with?

[Galchenko]

"How long is Vova already training on clubs?"

14 years. But he started to practice solo clubs seriously from age of 12, so seriously he has been practicing clubs for 8 or 9 years.

"whut is hese faforite number of clubs to juggle with?"

I think 5.

[timmetje3]

what is the faforite place from vova and olga to train??

[Galchenko]

"what is the faforite place from vova and olga to train?"

I don't know. Maybe a hall in the mansion where they live. High ceiling, nice lighting, conditioners...

[9465511]

that Olga's 7th club throw in was extreme :)

[jugglingluke]

how many clubs does vova have

[Galchenko]

"how many clubs does vova have"

More than 35 for sure.

[RnDvids]

are all of them px3's?

[Galchenko]

"are all of them px3's?"

Yes.

[jugglingluke]

has vova ever tryed to do 7 club backcross

[Galchenko]

"has vova ever tryed to do 7 club backcross"

Yes, I have a video of him doing seven 7 club backxx to collect and three 7 club backxx back into pattern.

[jugglingluke]

is the vid on vova doing 7 club backcross on you tube

[Galchenko]

"is the vid on vova doing 7 club backcross on you tube"

No, Vova keeps it for his new DVD.

[jugglingluke]

thanks

[Galchenko]

Thanks for your nice comment, KanonSommer!

[maarten765]

Can you ask Vova (if he can do it) 7 club 7 up 360s two times in a row?

[Galchenko]

"Can you ask Vova (if he can do it) 7 club 7 up 360s two times in a row?"

I am sure he can't.

[maarten765]

oke haha;)

[maarten765]

He can do 7up 360?

[Galchenko]

"He can do 7up 360?"

Sure, he can.

[maarten765]

Why don´t you tape it on vid.? I´ve never seen it on video..

[Galchenko]

"Why don´t you tape it on vid.?"

I can't tape Vova, because he is in the United States, while I am in Russia. But when Vova was here in 2006-2007 I taped him doing a 7 club 7 up 360. You can see it in my video named "Last day in Penza". Since then Vova did it and taped it numerous times including many attemps with a clean finish. I have some of them, but Vova wants to keep them for his new DVD.

[maarten765]

Oke

[maarten765]

But not clean...

[Galchenko]

"But not clean..."

I wrote: "Since then Vova did it and taped it numerous times including many attemps with a clean finish."

[KanonSommer]

It is so great to see a person who has worked so hard and trained so much time to be good at something, and Vova has trained so hard and now become a real juggling star and a person to look up to as a hero..In my opinion Vova is pure class. You are lucky Mr. Galchenko:)you have had the chance to follow this kid from first beginning throw a ball, and see he graduately become better and better..

[NuitSanWoggaWogga]

i love the sound of 7 clubs

[giligan30]

wich kind of club did he use...that looks like px3 vegas...but i'm really not sure...that spin too fast:P

[Galchenko]

"wich kind of club did he use...that looks like px3 vegas..."

Yes, Vova uses PX3-Vegas special (PX3-SDS).

[jugglerman8]

awesome

[Jprotevi]

:54-1:06

-Watch out for the train!!!!

[MuffinBakersGrimm]

you know he might try a 7 club flash in singles or doubles, maybe?

[Galchenko]

"he might try a 7 club flash in singles or doubles"

Vova can do 7 clubs in doubles. More than a flash as far as I know. He taped it and made a conclusion that it is not worth to work on it.

[rhalfik]

He refuses learning many beautiful tricks becouse they don't appeal to him. I think his taste lack a bit, but at this point ia agree with him. That's only the phenomenon of five on singles. higher numbers doesn't look better done with lower spin

[McRat1968]

That club-retrieval (at 0:45) was hilarious!!! ;)P

[MuffinBakersGrimm]

What's Vova's personal record for 8 and 9 balls? Does he practice tricks/pattern with 8 or 9 balls? Has he ever tried 10? Oh yea, does he practice 4 clubs in one hand now, or has he?

P.S. sorry to bother you with all the questions.

[Galchenko]

"What's Vova's personal record for 8 and 9 balls?"

As far as I know Vova does a few runs of 50 catches with 8 balls and a few runs of 30 catches with 9 balls with a clean finish every day. He never tries to go further.

"Does he practice tricks/pattern with 8 or 9 balls?"

No.

"Has he ever tried 10?"

No.

[Galchenko]

"does he practice 4 clubs in one hand now..."

No.

"...or has he?

He started to practice 4 clubs in one hand being in Russia, but he stopped it as soon as he returned to America (because of lack of time).

[Yomay]

I heard he did a hundred catches of 8 not so long ago.

[Galchenko]

"I heard he did a hundred catches of 8 not so long ago."

Who told you that?

[Yomay]

I'm not sure about that, but I think it was Haavard(haaviboy89 here)(I trust him to be pretty updated).

[Galchenko]

"I think it was Haavard..."

Was it Haavard who told you about Vova doing 15 crotches with 5 clubs?

[Yomay]

Yes, that would be him.

[Galchenko]

I asked Vova about 15 crotches with 5 clubs. Vova answered that he doesn't know where this guy got it from. This is just not true.

[Yomay]

Haavard told me YOU said it.

[Galchenko]

"Haavard told me YOU said it."

I never said that! Let Haavard cite my message, e-mail, YouTube comment or something else where I wrote that.

[Yomay]

I'll ask him.

[yamoy12]

make a video called 6 club moves

[Galchenko]

Maybe one day.

[billylow]

wow  !!! great

[yamoy12]

when did vova have a solid 6 ball pattern

[Galchenko]

"when did vova have a solid 6 ball pattern"

At age of 13 I think. At age of 14 he performed it on stage in their piano-juggling act.

[markool89]

what song is this?

[Galchenko]

"what song is this?"

"Shine on You Crazy Diamond", part 1 by Pink Floyd.

[themusician31]

Great song, great video :)

[manuel886202]

Great!!! The only tricks he can do with 7 clubs is 966, 5 up and 7 up, right?

I looooove Shine on you crazy diamond!!

[67561a]

yeah. too bad that this video isn't long enough to host the ENTIRE song. of course, most videos on youtube can't hold both parts.

[Yomay]

And 867, possibly a666, b6666, backcrosses and maybe alberts?

[Galchenko]

"...possibly a666, b6666, backcrosses and maybe alberts?"

Vova can't do any of these and never tried.

[Yomay]

He told me he did 5 backcrosses back to cascade, and 7 backcrosses to collect though.

[Galchenko]

"He told me he did 5 backcrosses back to cascade, and 7 backcrosses to collect though."

OK, then you know it better.

[Galchenko]

"He told me he did 5 backcrosses back to cascade, and 7 backcrosses to collect though."

Yes, you are right. I just asked Vova about it.

And I recalled one more move he can do, this is a 7 club 5 up 180.

[Galchenko]

Now I have the video of Vova doing 7 club 3 backxx back to cascade and the video of Vova doing 7 club 7 backxx to collect.

[Yomay]

Wow! When was that filmed, and are you going to put it here?

[Galchenko]

"When was that filmed..."

14 January 2008. By the way the day before Vova taped 7 club (8x,6)* 360 to collect.

"...are you going to put it here?"

No, Vova doesn't allow me to do it.

[Yomay]

Wow. I have seen 7 club (8x,6)* for short run by Wes, but a 360? Sick. Why won't he let you post it?

[Galchenko]

"Why won't he let you post it?"

He has some plans on making a DVD in summer. But maybe Vova will make some video of him doing 7 club moves for YouTube, when he has time. I offered him to do that, he answered "Maybe".

[Yomay]

A dvd? Wohoo!

[Galchenko]

"I have seen 7 club (8x,6)* for short run by Wes, but a 360?"

Sorry, I was confused, not 360, just a short run of (8x,6)*. About 14 catches.

[Yomay]

Oh. Right. Well sure, still amazing.

[jimifun]

how is his 7 up 360.

incredible that anyone can do a 5 up! amazing

[Galchenko]

"how is his 7 up 360."

Vova is not working on it.

[Leeroy49]

he also did an 86 in an old video and a kick up from 6 to 7 ;)

[Galchenko]

"The only tricks he can do with 7 clubs is 966, 5 up and 7 up, right?"

Leeroy49 is right, he also did 86 and a kick-up from 6 to 7. I would also add here 7 up 360.

[Haavard93]

Well, he also did a 975 on hes WJf profile 2006.

[Yomay]

YOU did a 975

[Galchenko]

"he also did a 975 on hes WJf profile 2006."

Quite possible. And speaking about the WJF 2006 profile video you can see one more 7 club move Vova can do in this video. This is a 7 club 5 up 180.

[67561a]

good song.

[MGZolyn]

can he do 7 ups?

[Galchenko]

"can he do 7 ups?"

Yes, he did it a few times. Unfortunately, Vova didn't tape the one with a clean finish. You can see one of them in my video "Last day in Penza". The last move in this video is a 7 club 7 up 360. Vova did 18 catches after the pirouette.

[67561a]

where? i don't see it?

[67561a]

oh wait. i see. last move in this video as in "last day in penza" ok. i get it now.

[TedTracy]

what university does he go to?

[Galchenko]

California State University, Northridge.

[drygnfyre]

I just saw this kid perform in my history class today, he's really good.

[Yomay]

Really?? Awesome.

[bornametalman]

I liked the inclusion of nat sound.

[juggleDude1]

Wow! Incredibly insane!!!

[Biberboot]

Does Vova juggle in variete-shows, in a circus, las vegas, etc?

[Galchenko]

"Does Vova juggle in variete-shows, in a circus, las vegas, etc?"

Etc. :-) Vova juggles on the corporate events, juggling festivals, some shows... As for Las Vegas he will be giving workshops there in a few days. But nowdays Vova is mostly concentrated on his studies, so he doesn't perform much. By the way today he is performing in his University.

[Biberboot]

thank you!

[yorkshirejuggler]

How long do you think it will take before a seven club move appears in a WJF routine?

[Galchenko]

I have no idea. It's totally depends on the WJF politics, on how successfull will be this organization, on how much money will be in prizes. Say, promise Vova $100,000 and he will be able to perform it next year. :-)

[JugglingStein]

Damn!

[Yomay]

My best guess is that this takes some skill.

Oh, and I see the 5 up is quite consistent, with two of them back to back. Could you beg Vova for us to try for a 7 up again?

[Galchenko]

"Could you beg Vova for us to try for a 7 up again?"

He is very busy these days. Maybe on Christmas holidays.

[Yomay]

I hope he'll get time for it.
