Two neat passing tricks

WATCH IN HIGH QUALITY!
Jugglers: Chase Martin & Daniel Friedman

At the Hugo Fest in 2008 for the best trick competition we decided to go for a back flip while passing. While we didn't land it in the competition, we did manage to get one on film.

Awesome video! I also like the trick that you did on ctjuggles video. Very cool - Dan

Thanks Dan!

Daniel picked up that trick while he was in Germany, where he learned how to do early takeouts and combine two of them to buy enough time for a handshake. But the high 5 is a lot easier and a lot more fun :)

WOW!!!!  Was that you who did the backflip? If so, how'd you learn that?

[chasejuggler]

I was a gymnast when I was growing up. I think the best way to learn a standing tuck is learning on a mat that is on an incline to give you some extra hang time before the landing. The trick is to jump up instead of back, and not to throw your head back but instead to get momentum for rotation from your swinging arms prior to the jump.

Don't hurt yourself though :)

We didn't plan it at all! We actually laughed about it ourselves when we noticed we were dressed the same.

O don't worry I'm not gonna try this myself. I do want to start taking gymnastics though, but it could be a little hard to find a teacher/class because I'm pretty sure most people start before they're 16.
