The title says it all. There was some kind of rendering error with the music in the introduction. Sorry 'bout that.

0:18 - the standard kickup
2:24 - crossover kickup

[juggleguy000]

thanks for the tutorial. I can do the basic kick-up with my left foot. but it seems to spin the opposite way with my right. any suggestions?

[ctjuggles]

Hmm. Could you tape it and show it?

[OrphanEater1]

Great Tutorial! I do it slightly different though, instead of including that "lifting straight up" motion, I bring my knee inwards, crossing over to the other side of my body. This is pretty much the same thing, but my way is a bit more exaggerated. I never knew that crossover kick up, thats pretty awsome!

[ctjuggles]

Great thoughts!

you really provide a service with these videos, its a bit over explained for me, but thats not to say it isn't perfect for someone else, i'm sure i'll get these tricks, thanks for the ideas

[ctjuggles]

Thanks again. I respect that "its a bit over explained" part. It's true. On some I am much more long winded than others.

[SheepFreak2]

while trying to learn the first kickup, my club always flys off to the far right side doing a horizontal 360. what do i do wrong?

[Anonym135]

Thank you!! I learned it in a few minutes with this tutorial. Your tutorials are the greatest. Keep it up pls :)

[jacobevelyn]

I understand the concept, but I just can't do it! I have fairly cheap single-body clubs, and every time I try, they slip off my feet. They also don't seem long enough for the end of the handle to lock against my leg.

Any advice?
