10. Juggling Tutorial: Olas

Welcome to the Olas juggling tutorial. All constructive feedback and questions wanted!

Thanks for Gballz for sponsoring me! They make great ballz! Everyone go look at the Gballz website at:

Need to know before attempting this trick:
3 ball cascade - see tutorial 1
Claw
Multiplex
Bonus to know:
Georgian Shuffle

Note: This trick is quite uncommon, I think at least. I learned this from Juggler's Aquarium and I came up with the steps afterwards, I don't do it perfectly and the website itself has a better video of it.

Step 1
Start off with 2 balls in one hand. Throw one ball then, after a short pause, throw the next. When these balls reach your other hand, claw the first ball in a circular motion and claw the second in a continuing cicular motion, keeping hold of both balls.

Step 2
Start with 3 balls, 2 in one hand and 1 in the other. Use the hand with one ball in and throw that one ball to the other hand. Before that one ball drops to your other hand with 2 balls in it, throw both of those 2 balls in one motion as the first ball you threw lands. As these 2 balls travel to your other hand, softly claw the one lower and then, after a pause, catch the other ball.

Step 3
This is a combination or steps 1 & 2. With three balls, do the double circular claw catches and once you have both balls, do step 2.

All Together
The final trick is just step 3 continued on both sides.

Thanks for watching.

Hey hey that was a great tutorial! During step 2, do you catch the inner ball or the outer ball when you throw the 2 balls from one hand?

[Draitube]

Unless if I misunderstood the question, I think either will do, do the one that's most comfortable to you :)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think TWJC dictates that I should throw a multiplex in Step 1 (and following). Instead, you make two 'uniplex' throws with a pause in between.

To be honest: I prefer your version :) It feels more 'wavy' and less rushed than throwing a multiplex. I'm a bit confused, anyhow. Which Olas is the right one? :)

[Draitube]

Mine "technically" is olas extended.

Both are correct, I prefer this one

[greentree24]

Olas? It means waves correct?

[Draitube]

No idea, I just think that's what its called :S

[Olgui2008Romero]

olas means wave in spanish ( the "olas" of the beach)

[jikvig]

I find that exaggerate the clawmotion makes this trick look really good.

Thanks for the video dude!

[Zezokax]

[GB016768]

in this tutorial your hans often go of the bottom of the screen. this makes it hard because when you have 2 balls in your hand i cannot see which one you are throwing

[iownyouchoob]
