from struggle to juggle: John Nations 7 balls again

This is my longest run of 7 balls ever caught on video. Would someone please tell me how many catches it is?

Filmed March 3 2008 in SC.

Balls: MMX 2.75 inch from 'In The Spin' Juggling supply. Check their website. Nice people!

Thanks to Toby Walker, Doug Sayers, Thomas Dietz, Haavard Hvidsten, Oliver Ash, Niels Duinker, Wes Peden, and Sondre for inspiration as I attempt to master this number.

how long did it take u just to get 7 for a while. not that whole, 200+ catches. maybe like 20?

@incredipaininsane I guess it took me about 3 months to get it over 20 catches, back when I was in college. Then when I got some "Fergie" beanbags, which are like today's "Sport Juggling Co." balls, I did over 200 catches after a solid 2 years work. Good luck with your 7!

great run, how long did it take you to learn?

[johnnations]

@janionnevill HI! I saw your nice 9 ball flash video, excellent work! It took me about 20 years to get 7 balls but I honestly only practiced it hard for about 4 total years. I think I learned most when I was using Gballz and these MMX balls.
