Draitube 3 Ball Tricks (WIP Series)

Here are some videos with a lot of 3 ball variations. The video WIP 2 is not nearly as good as the others, so I've left it out of this post. Draitube's Youtube page is here. If you've ever wanted to study 3 ball tricks, these videos should help a lot.

4b Tricks from Dreamjuggler

There are some nice 4 ball tricks in these videos.

xylocybin

This is a really really cool video titled "xylocybin" by a juggler named Georg Pelzer. If you are surfing my blog for juggling videos, this is a must-see video. I can't say more. Just watch it.

Neverending progress #1

This is an amazing video, full of insanely difficult siteswaps. The juggler says he's been practicing for 2 years and 1 month. The title of the video "Neverending progress" is exactly what a person needs in order to be able to do these kinds of tricks within 2 years. I think the juggler's name is Pawel Witczak.

This is all he wrote about the video:

The first video of a new series. Some nice siteswaps in there.

I'm looking forward to the next video.

Whatever you want

Here is a new and interesting juggling video by Sean Blue and Marcus Monre. Apparently this is a concept they are exploring for use in the IJA teams competition this summer. It's titled "Whatever you want".

New Rueben Video

Here is the newest video from a young and talented juggler named Rueben. He style is fast and crazy. If you can't figure out what his hands are doing, just try to enjoy his skills.

Here is his Juggling TV video page with a bunch of videos.

Great Michael Moschen Video

3 Ball Juggling Video

Here is a simple 3b video. There are some good combinations in there. Cool style.

Wes Peden's Rant

Just the other day, prodigy juggler Wes Peden posted a video of himself urging the juggling community to be more creative. Wes is currently studying at an elite circus school in Sweden. I think he is 18 or 19 years old.

The video has been received with mixed results. Many people are saying Wes came off a bit condescending or that his tone was a little harsh. You can read all the comments here.



This next video is a response to Wes Peden's video. I am looking forward to more response videos like this one.

Pumpkineater 3b Juggling

These are both rad videos. If you like 3b juggling, you will like these videos uploaded to YouTube by pumpkineater23.

Mills Mess Variations

A guy named Reuben has been putting out some nice 3 ball videos. He uses a lot of loopy throws and quick hands while seemlessly changing from one pattern to the next. It's a very interesting style because it is very difficult to pin down exactly what he is doing.

Juggling Blog: The Karasel

Michael Karas, a juggler popular for things like Karas Kwikies (videos), and Whee-los (a juggling contraption?), has created a juggling blog called The Karasel. His first few posts are interesing.

If you have the time, I recommend watching these three Kick-ass Karas videos. They are really well made and have a ton of rad tricks.

"Heart of a Champion"

"Kineticut"

"Normal Like You"

Juggling Pacific Northwest Style

During the month of February 2008 I returned to the US to obtain a criminal background check for my new job in South Korea. Going from a juggling wasteland (S. Korea) to a juggling superculture (Oregon) was a huge breath of fresh air for me.

While on this trip I was able to watch the OSU Jugglers perform for a local kids group, practice with the OSU Jugglers, practice with the Corvallis Jugglers, practice with the Portland Jugglers, practice with the University of Oregon Jugglers, and visit the new Serious Juggling store in Portland.


This is a photo of a carpet being used at the Serious Juggling store. I asked if it was for sale, but it was not.



Here is a short clip of a Portland Jugglers club meeting I attended. The number of people here would make a great small festival anywhere. And these lucky jugglers get to experience this every Wednesday night!



The University of Oregon Juggling Club has a great practice facility with high ceilings, sound system, and warm temperatures. I'm not sure what the name of the trick is that this guy is doing, but it looks cool.

My next trip back to Oregon may be in March 2009 for the Pacific Northwest Juggling Convention. This all depends on my work situation and so on. The University of Oregon has a MA degree program for teaching English as a foreign language, so it's possible that I may find my way to that region again.
