This is from a show I was in at the boulder circus center. The quality is really really bad...it gets better after a little bit, I am hoping to get some more footage from another angle and if I do I will make a much better video of this performance.

I was really happy with this when I was done the first time, but now that I watch it again there are a lot of things I will change. I am trying to grow and make this into a routine I am really proud of, and I consider this to be the first draft. So I am opening it up to peer review, I would love to hear what you think not just about the juggling but also about the routine itself.

P.S. I know the three ball section was bad...it will get better but I am unsure how long this video will be up.

hey man that was awesome, a lot of really cool and interesting stuff. To tell you the truth the acrylic segment was the least interesting to me, even though it was the "cleanest."

awesome 423 variation, but overall the three ball section came across to me as a bit "tricky", I think you could simplify it a lot and focus more on the visual aspects of the three points in space (esp with those jean9s, so huge!), using more stall points and movement.

The two and single segments are nasty, incorporating more levels, floor work, spacial and rhythmic dynamics would make them devastating.

love the emancipator track, been jamming out to that a lot recently.

great work.

Great bodyrolling; especially love the move at 5:20! Really like the music that accompanied the acrylic portion, too.

@madeulaterestrian - I would agree with you on the acrylic part, it does not really interest me at all. I put it in because one I know that people who have never seen it will louse there s*** and it is super easy to win them over, two I can do that stuff in my sleep (which is maybe why it seems boring...now that I think about it) but it was an easy way to start and get my gitters out, and three there were some people in the audience that where possible employers of more gigs and I wanted to show of some stuff with an acrylic.

I really like your idea about the three ball section, really I would like to one day have the three ball part be all different tricks involving tricks where the balls roll in different ways, but that stuff is still a little ways off from being perform-able, but I think a nice visual show would be much nicer then my sub par juggling. Thanks for the comment, this is really the kind of stuff I am looking for. I hope to develop this routine of the next couple of years and make it super awesome amazing great!

@ Garneta - Thanks, that move was a flook that it even worked, all I was trying for was a much simpler and easier version of that trick, but I guess I had found my flow and it just worked...the head roll after that was a flook also. I am not nearly that good at either of those tricks, this performance was misleading

Nice!!
The move at 5:20 got me as well.
Even though it could use some work, i really enjoyed the three ball bit. Im looking forward to more!
