4 Ball Siteswaps: Issue 1

I hate siteswaps. (They challenge my brain WAY too much.) But I've challenged myself to return to the basics a bit more.

I've had some requests to show some tricks that beginner and intermediate 4 ball jugglers might attempt. This video is that. At least 6 of these were new to me when I set out to learn them last week so my form might be spotty. I have ordered them roughly in terms of level of difficulty, from easiest to harder.

More and harder ones in the next installment.

Lastly, I am heading to the IJA very soon and so will be away from my computer a while. I have been able to watch everyone's vids only sporadically lately, too-- blame it on the summer. I'll try to catch up as best I can.

Music: Madonna's latest CD Hard Candy.

I have a very cool siteswap;

4-534-53-5551-633633-6631-6451­-55613-566151

I think I will do this sitswap in my next video.

[ctjuggles]

[leatherblood]

[ctjuggles]

Great, cool comment. Thanks, man.

[archijugglebald]

very nice. I'm gessing you have ivan pecels advanced 4 & 5 ball instructional dvd.

[ctjuggles]

Yes, I do. GREAT vid.

The most frustrating thing about learning to juggle is watching people like you who make it look so easy when it really isn't. ;o)

I say this with the utmost respect.

[uncjuggler]

just like you ct, i cant stand siteswaps cause the're so confusing ive been lately trying to learn a few

[JugglingTrickshowto]

Are you throwing your balls too high on purpose?

[Nlfreaks]

If i do a 534 i throw the '5' and the '4' at the same time is that good?xD

please help

[TheMrSibren]

can you do these siteswaps also with 4 clubs??

[noslowerdna]

Great video. Some of these look really fun to try. I've been working on 534, 561, and 55514.

[elmerluzas]

I hate siteswap too, its difficult moves and nothing spectacular. im working now on box 4 balls, its awesome

[ObjectManipulator55]

i love siteswaps!!!

[ostialcantu]

wow thats really good =) now i start to learn 4ball siteswaps, for moment i learn 5551-7441-74414(in curse)-7531-71-525-53-9151.

and now i start to practice the 7333(it's a torture...) xD

[aarontimebomb]

thanks for posting this! i'm just starting to get 7531 consistently. 642 is a lot harder in execution than in theory but it's giving me something new to be frustrated over.

[DOUBLESH0CK]

another good one that is for beginners is 633. Just know that the 6 has to be super high, or you will have a tough time keeping it going.

dude... frickin sick especially the last few sync patterns
