2 months Contact Juggling (beginner)

This was recorded Jul 27 2010

I was using a water filled ball which sometimes acts like it's alive, but I don't have the cash to get an acrylic ball, so this will have to do ^___^ I was having an off moment. Sorry for the sour expression haha =P

(I randomly selected one of youtubes audio swap songs for this video)

I got a fushigi ball from my neighbors yard sale for 25 cents lol. I'm trying to get into this whole contact juggling thing. I think I like it, but I doubt I will ever be as good as u were at 2 months. I have a really hard time doing the tricks in front of me, but they're easier like off to the side. (Which doesn't make it look good at all) and I haven't quite got how to switch from one hand to the other without it looking sloppy. You're really good though. I like ur style :]

@lulladie Thank you. I'd love to see your style =) I've gotten out of practice and I really need to start moving forward. most experienced contact jugglers look at me and shake their head =P

I will post a video soon to show my progress.

Where did you get/how did you make that ball? Is it like an empty plastic shell filled with water or something? I'm quite curious :)!

[otherwheregirl]

@xxSichaye You can find those water filled bounce balls at any toy store ^__^

[KodFlame]

Got any tips for a beginner?

[otherwheregirl]

@KodFlame

I'd say start with isolations, and have fun with them. Then move on to harder moves like body rolls etc, and when the frustration starts setting in you can always go back to those calming isos ^___^

In case no one else has mentioned it, water filled balls are VERY hard to contact juggle well. The water spins and makes it hard to change direction quickly. It will tend to keep going in the direction of the internal spin. If you must learn on a cheap ball, try a softball.

i have to say good job. water ball are hard to use. they move so fast and have a lack of controll.  keep up the good work and have fun. if you cant aford an acrylic get ur self a sil-x 100mm/4inch they are great for learning and have great control.

You have given me hope! I recently found a fushigi ball and after a day of googling i now know its use and i intend to give it a try! =)

[leobluesy]

good job

[666lefthandpath]

wow that was excellent, I've been at it for a year and i still have my flaws, you made a few mistakes but covered them right up extremely quickly, keep it up :)

[HappyTuesdayWoord]

Good Job! would like to see a progress video! two months thats not bad :)

[xLuckyxShadowx25]

Your not too bad for only two months. Liquid filled balls can be pretty tricky; they pull a little too much sometimes. If you can't afford acrylic you could always get a stage ball. They're a bit cheaper, and really good to learn with. Depending on where you live too shipping might not be much. Neonhuskey is a good company in Oregon, or Dube is great too and they're in New York.
