Hey guys!

It's been years since we had one of these, and I've really been itching to participate in one. As nobody has taken the initiative to start one, I figure I might as well do it myself.

The way this will work is I'll start us off by posting a video of me doing a simple contact juggling trick, perhaps the windshield wiper. Then, everyone participating in the contest will send in a video of themselves doing the Windshield Wiper followed by some other slightly more difficult trick of their choosing.

I'll pick one of contestants to be the new "leader" based on their video. If the new leader's video was a windshield wiper followed by, say, a back-to-back transfer butterfly, then every participant then has to send a video in of themselves doing a windshield wiper followed by the b-2-b butterfly, followed by another slightly more difficult choice. I will then choose a new leader based on those videos.

Of course, if you can't perform what trick the newest "leader" performed, you're out. The last person standing is the winner.

------------------------

Here are some ground rules:

*Only one-ball stuff. I want everyone on .org to be able to participate, even the ones who only have one acrylic, or a lacrosse ball, or whatever. I'll probably start a free-for-all multi-ball contest if this turns out successful, but for now I want it to only be one ball tricks.

*Every contestant will have at most one week from my picking a new "leader" to send in their new videos. If you need extra time then tell us, but otherwise I'm going to cut it off after a week. If we get all the videos in earlier, and I encourage that, then I'll just pick a new leader early.

*Sign-up ends NEVER. Jump in if you want to join. Sign up or be square. Please just post something saying you're interested. Convince all of your .org friends to sign up. This should be a great learning experience for you guys just starting, and a great challenge for you guys with experience.

*Be experimental! This competition is so we can all learn; if you have a new trick, throw it in there, and make us all learn it.

[Edit 3-2-08 at 21:13]
*If there are still more than 3 or 4 people left and one move stumps everyone, we'll redo that round with a different leader.

Yes, I am using the poll to advertise. I hope it works.

I'm in.

Oh man I would totally be in but I just started exactly one week ago. I'm not good enough to really do this, and it won't be fair to give me any handicap. 'sides, I can still learn! I'll be watching this closely.

Also, I have no camera

Hey guys, here's the first "leader" video. It's my sloppy thrown-together windshield wiper (I figured you guys wouldn't mind my dorm room for the first video.) Now you guys have to all post a video of yourself doing this, plus one slightly more difficult move right after. Don't worry about repeating the amount of times I windshield wipe; it's really not important.

Check out this post about how to embed google videos, if you want:
