Hey thx for the tutorial,

could you say what exactly the throws for 2 stage or 3 stage pirouettes like in 4:13 look like in siteswap?

Throws are the same as in a cascade but just higher aren't they? But whats the rhythm you throw them... 2up *pirouette* 2up *pirouette* 1 up? I have to see it in slow-motion^^

@Djumeneik To be honest, I'm horrible at assure swap. Perhaps some kind person will see this and reply with the correct answer for me:)

@juggleboy360 Siteswap. Silly autocorrect.

@Djumeneik The one ur talking about was 7799b spin/catch spin/catch 77 spin

for a standard 3 up 360, you have to throw three 7's to do it. So the idea is if you want to do a 2 stage, you must throw it high enough that by the time you execute the pirouette, the throw has decayed to a 7 ball flight time.

Some examples:

779 spin 77 spin

869 spin 77 spin

6x,4 version: (4,8x)(ax,8) spin (6,8x) spin <-- this one's my favorite, easiest imo.

Any more siteswap questions, just let me know!

@TheMagicMan765 I got them at Jugglingstore. there's a com there, but it's not letting me link, lol

Another question :)

when doing 2 or 3 stages, do you stop with your foot after one pirouette and kick off a second/third time?

@juggleboy360

I've been working on isolated 360s. So no balls. Just concentrating on the rotation and timing etc.

[juggleboy360]

@floyddango you're less likely to get dizzy if you whip your head around quickly, I think. other than that. I'm not sure, really. You aren't watching the props the whole time, are you?

[floyddango]

Does anyone get dizzy after making too many spins ;D I think in smaller rooms you're more likely to get dizzy. Is there anyone know tips to reduce this dizziness? dizzyyyyyyy
