Needed (a bounce juggling video)

I had a bunch of practice clips laying around so, I thought I'd put together another bounce video. I tried to time it up with the music at the beginning but, as I went on, I sort of lost interest because it was too much of a pain in the ass. I was planning on making a 4MoB(4 months of bounce) video but forgot about it so, this is sort of like 4.75MoB. As usual, I thought of a bunch more tricks that I could've put in it, right after I finished editing it. Oh well, maybe next video.

The music, as usual, is my personal music project, Hydrophidian. The song is called "Needed". I picked it because of the bouncy feel in the verses.

The video is mostly 4b and 5b tricks with one 3b trick. The siteswaps are given with the tricks.

I'm using Dube, 2.75" silicone bounce balls.

Enjoy

Nice intro! You are getting so crazy good at bouncing. 744 was sweet, and 6x4 looks so awesome bounced!

and, as usual, the music is great!

Thanks, Steve.

[thegoheads]

([54],1x)* ??

[RicotheJuggler]

Yeah, sorry. It's actually [54]1x*. If you want to get technical, it's [5B4B]1xB*

Thanks for the correction.

[thegoheads]

I've never seen a "1x" before.. that's why I'm confused.. only 1 in async patterns and 2x in sync patterns.. but 1x ?

I'm not trying to imply you've made a mistake, I've just never seen that before in siteswap. Is 1x something that is exclusive to bounce juggling or something?

[RicotheJuggler]

Nope. You can put an x next to any number in siteswap(except for 0, I would imagine) and, if it was supposed to cross, it doesn't now. So, a 6x is a throw at 6 height that crosses instead of staying in the same hand. Just like a 5x would stay in the same hand instead of crossing. I've never actually seen any odd numbers with an x either. Maybe I'll hit a generator and try and find one.

Very nice bouncing! I'm planning a new video for this summer and will definitely have to try to incorporate some of these tricks! Particularly like the 645 bounce, have not seen that pattern bounced before. Keep up the great work!

[tonydunc]

Great stuff. Wish i had time to do more bouncing!

[BliesBilli]

you should work man , not bounce ...hahaha.Fine , your boss payed for that ...

some patterns i`ve never seen before , i do some classic bounce patterns from 3 to 5 balls , but this here is very good ...

[thegoheads]

madness! I never knew about this stuff! then again, I never really bothered going out of my way to look for it..

thanks for the info.

[thegoheads]

wow! that's crazy! I never knew that.. but sure enough, it works in the animator and that's all the proof I need :)

I guess I still have a lot to learn about siteswap. Thanks for the help!
