    I finally found a way to connect my leg roll idea to a juggle (^^)

    It’s my first time using downspike so let me know if this is not the right place to post! Thanks

    That was rad as hell dude. And the literal juggles were really cool too. I can do three. Tried to learn four but couldn't figure it out. Any pointers?

    Thank you! Jugglers call it “toss juggling” :D
    Well, juggling is not about numbers man. I’ve been exploring 3 club juggling for like 3 years and I never learned to juggle 4 clubs to be honest. My best tip is to learn like a hundred 3 ball tricks and then 4 ball juggling should be pretty easy, but if you really want to skip steps and go right into 4 balls you can search “how to juggle 4 balls” on YouTube and you’ll find thousands of tutorials :)
    It’s pretty hard to give tips if I can’t see how your pattern looks like.
    Thanks for your comment!

    Nice! The dama trick reminds me of your body club juggling stuff.

    Okay. That makes sense. Appreciate the tips. But yea club and bowling pin and stuff like that is tough to juggle. But I'll see what I can find on YouTube.

    It’s not really that tough, I never learned 4 simply cause I didn’t want to but I’d say the average juggler learns to juggle 4 clubs in less than 6 months. Juggling is a little different from dama in the aspect that jugglers prefer to explore and do new tricks that havent been done rather than practice the same tech tricks. That’s why I stuck with 3 clubs for years (^^)
    btw calling clubs “bowling pins” is like calling kendama a yoyo for us haha. Cheers ✌️

    Thanks man. That’s pretty cool but dont give up cause mills’ mess is not that hard! Alex Smith can confirm ‘cause I taught him and Roddama this trick in a few weeks hanging out with them. If you compare to kendama it should be easier than lunar cause it took me a year to master lunar but around 3 months to master mills’ mess when I was starting to juggle back in 2012. All you need is some good tutorials or someone to guide you

    I actually feel like giving it a try again now. I saw multiple tutorials calling it a reverse cascade with under arm throws but it's more complicated than that so they don't help at all.

    Hey, don't bust on me bc I didn't know the correct terminology. Haha. I thought they were pins so you called them that. But I get you. And thanks for the heads up so I don't sound stupid in future conversations.

    there’s no trick commonly known as “reverse cascade with under arm throws”, this sounds more like a trick description but it doesnt describe mills mess perfectly. Be free to hit me up on facebook or instagram if you have any questions and I’ll be able to guide you better :)

    haha I wasnt busting on you man, I was just making a comparison. I dont think anyone should randomly know what a juggling club or a kendama is called but I also dont think they look like bowling pins or yoyos and a lot of people dislike hearing that so I was just giving you a heads up ;)
    I dont get mad when people call my kendama a yoyo, I just think it’s funny
    Cheers!

    Not too well, Yuki traded Rod an old set of clubs, and they're in the workshop now. I've spent maybe an hour with them total, I can get a basic cascade going for a couple rounds but thats about it. Rod almost has mills down with clubs now, he's been more on it
