I thought i would start a thread for people interested in fire staff juggling,i am really interested to see any videos of people throwing two or more staffs,and in particular anyone taking it in new direction.
I am currently working on routines with two and three staffs and contemplating a serious attempt at the four staff shower,

hey easy guys
there are just different approaches to the same topic.
as i know josh, for him "nailed" means trained the trick forever, and be able to repeat certain numbers of sets drop free.
this is something different than what you (JohnnyFettucini) did, you finaly managed to flash a 6 staff pattern once, which is absolutly great.
there is a gap between some people training tricks for stage and other for progressing the possibilites in staff throwing. for me both are important, and worth respecting.
it´s a bit sad, that a small word like "nailed" pisses off 2 staff juggler, when there so few in euorpe.
anyway, i am still very interested to see what you have achived. its bloody 6 staffs!

OK dude
you wanna start this
there we go..lets go mad
the first thing you wrote was you nailed the 6 staff shower..........
do me favor and think a second , how that sounds
you´r not speaking to some hippie newbie thats gone be amazed by everything what anybody writes
i hang out every in the juggling scene and i know to nail a five club shower is damn hard
not speaking about six, not speaking about staffs
i just recently saw you´re video were you (in nice words)
barley caught a 4staff flash
so i definitely have no need to watch the newest attempt
because i can really well imagine what its gonna be like
and to your pattern its (atleast how you described it )
NOT a six staff shower
its a multiplex combination in one direction
you can ( if done cleanly ) use such a combination to go in a " 6 staff shower "
but its not juggling and not the pattern you claimed it to be
my first post wasn´t meant to be offensive
but if you wanna get my points you will get that i couldn't
resist a bit of irony

haha josh is that you? That has to be you, your sick and twisted sense of humor pisses everyone off at first, it took me a long time to figure it out - tough love i think they call it
anyways, i'm gonna come to Bööörlin and show you how to juggle like a real man. First off, you need A LOT more chest hair, so you can give up now if you can't even rip your shirt off and light THAT on fire

ey josh,
i know very well what you mean, and your reply made me laugh out loud, cause it hits A point.
on the other hand side, i can understand JohnnyFettucini very good aswell, he trys to achieve something with large numbers of staff. he seem to be very enthusiastic, which is a necessary step if you wanna get really good one day. (with "really good" i mean being able to hold such patters for long times
after doing the training necessary to hold complex patterns long, latest than it´s understandable why you reacted so pissed off.
but i don´t really know JohnnyFettucini yet. so thats just my opinion, or atleast i was in similar situations about 2 years ago
right got o bed now again, to breed some money
see you soon (you bloody hippy )
+ glad i more into fishtales now..so i don´t need glenneroos chest hair

I liked your post josh, i think you should keep coming back for noob bashing. I enjoy it, and I enjoy watching it.
I understand also what you mean bastl... but most sports coaches use uncritical praise just for toddlers and tiny kids, not for the adults. To keep someones motivation up with that sort of tactic, you have to wonder why they're juggling staffs in the first place.
Johnnyf: if I ask you can you 'do' a 6 staff shower, what is your reply? Yes, but only with my staffs, but only after 20 attempts, but in a different pattern to a 'normal' shower, but with a sloppy pattern and sloppy catches, but only as a flash. And I wonder why you need all those 'buts', why you are making excuses and why you can't just say 'No, I can't'.
If somebody asks me if I can drive, I don't say, yes, but I don't have a license, and it would be best if it was an automatic, and i've never tried on motorways and I would probably be slow and anxious and forget to indicate, but yeah I can drive. No I don't say that, I just say honestly: 'No, I can't drive'.
So I think if you understand what you're saying a bit better, you'd see why it was stupid.

bentstix I'm not in the least interested in picking a fight here.. When I said Nailed I meant Did it!
Succeeded in the pattern, made it work
I didn't say, "hey look at me I need a nice reply so everybody can love me". Just thought that this would be the place to tell some of my fellow staff juggling buddies about the possibilites and that some one actually has gone out and tried it.
MCP I understand clearly what I have said. But can you accept that you have misread?
Hope that this highly unesecary argument can stop before it gets way out of hand.

well, misread you say? I know some things about juggling, not a lot of things, but I know this, to do a 6 object shower, you throw all of the objects one at a time out of one hand and catch them in the other hand, after the first hand has thrown it's 5th ball. (I don't know about the distribution of objects between your hands) Whether you have to pass all six back to the first hand for it to count as a flash is beyond me. Generally with a flash of a cascade pattern, certainly with low numbers like 6, you should catch the balls/clubs with the correct hands.
So by most standards of juggling, you didn't attempt a flash of a 6 staff shower, nor did you successfully complete a flash of whatever multiplex siteswap you were attempting.
Which is why I complained about you not knowing the meaning of the words you used, including the connotations of 'nailed'.

shut up meg - just cause you know juggling terminology doesn't mean you can abuse someone who doesn't. so irt wasn't technically a six staff shower. so what? its still nice to do a six-staff multiplex trick. yes, i agree 'nailed' has different meanings for differnet people, and i understand josh's reaction, but you have no cause for complaint just cause you know more words.
well done johnny. now go and nail it properly

yeah I know words like manipulate, and if I decide that is a close enough word to juggling, then I can juggle at least 16 staffs, with only two hands. hell, I can even throw them all and catch them again, in a kind of 8 object sync multiplex. So I guess I've flashed 16. And what's more, I'm going to go on the WJF forum and tell them that that. And then I'm going to expect them to be nice to me, and not give me abuse about my blatant lying. And when they do, I'll run away and cry on your shoulder mogcat.

geez such hostility! I thought such smack-talk was only possible in the pro-ball/club/circus-juggling scenes! You hippies need to really go out and bump, roll and huggle more fuzzies! Is all the love from festie-season already gone? Is this what happens every winter when you have to go indoors to juggle things - perhaps a result of surrounding neighbors getting bitchy (and/or involving authorities) that you're throwing things and making lots of noise? hehe
anyways..... i would say to clear up all this mix-up, Mister Pasta should post a little vid on YouTube so that everyone knows what he means by "nailed".

isn´t it wonderful how the staff juggling thread has woken up
@ johnny (I didn't say, "hey look at me I need a nice reply so everybody can love me".)
what the bleep you wanted than
i still have no clue why you felt so offended
you got constructive criticism
you were the only one that got personal ... still cant find the sticks up my ass ... and i did search
@ meg
please don´t shut up !!!!
people might learn something
i think you can read pretty well (...misread nothing..)
and thx for keeping the promise
@ bastl
(..right got o bed now again, to breed some money
see you soon (you bloody hippy ...))
hurry up we have a pretty busy November, December
so it might be better to meet up in January
more time too catch up with the crazy juggling patterns that spread around...
wuaaha

if you go back and look you might see it's cause you took the piss unnecessarily, and before anything johnny wrote to you (even though his response was not too good either) - fine for me, and all the people who know you, but not so fine for someone who you should be encouraging. And there is absolutely no constructive criticism in the 20 posts above this one, i'm afraid. just lots of 'you idiot, you can't actually do what you said you could'. How is that constructive?
i'm surprisingly angry about this.
there are few enough good staff jugglers discussing technical stuff, so i don't see why several people want to be rude about somebody new who just posted that they learnt a new trick, and probably won't bother to post here anymore. 6 staff multiplex flash? no matter how it is done, its f@cking cool, and done once, i'd bet that it can be done again, and anyone who can do it can almost certainly do f@ck loads of other nice stuff. way to go guys. shrinking the community for positive effect! well done.
back to topic;
several borrowed club patterns tried yesterday, and occasionally succeeded, enough to make me think theyll be solid if i work on them:
423 (the 4 and 3 are both from a wall plane spun cascade) where the two is:
spun back over the shoulder like a nunchuck
neck rolled, horizontal
body rolled, fromt to back
fishtailed

for a very few, yes. but you shouldn't judge someone before you have found out a bit more. it lacks class and reflects more on the judger than the target.

I caught some burning sticks last night they were on fire (hence the burning bit) and it was dark and there were 4 of them. but there was 2 of me. so wasn't THAT good but hey staff passing with behind the back throws count eh 
I think the instant juggler effect only works with beginners doesn't it? if not.. can I order a few buckets full

A couple of balls short of a full cascade... or maybe a few cards short of a deck... we'll see how this all fans out.

Yup, but that's my stereotype of HOP I'm afraid. A lot of talk, and not much skill to back it up.
It's nice when they're an exception, but the stereotype is there for good reason.

bad spelling / text speak / bad grammar / lack of punctuation - any of those almost makes it guaranteed the stereotype will kick in.
If you can't be bothered to take the time to write correctly, why should I believe they've taken the time to practise?
appearances = important. Even on the internet!

but then by you and robs avatars meg you would both be a bit dull and I know you're really quite colourful
Oh and in an effort to backslide I have successfully turned the 3 staff cascade with behind the head flourishes into a very tidy double staff thowing pattern. works with 2 hands alternating or 1 hand alone... only 2 catches with 1 hand but thats a qualify isn't it? I mean both staffs end up in the same hand they started form

A couple of balls short of a full cascade... or maybe a few cards short of a deck... we'll see how this all fans out.

its weired how its gotten so personal all of a sudden
if i read in order
johnny claims to have nailed a nearly impossible move
well afterwards he explains himself and i guess the biggest problem was the terminology
how he described it later was changing quite the pattern
i thought he meant the shower but he didn´t
then i wrote something similarly impossible
just to show how that sounds
then he got personal (
I don't see what a video of the damn thing is going to do when it clearly isn't appreciated, at least not by benstix who seems to have lost his staffs up his a** or something. It's sad dude this thread has gone to )
through then i was actually still very amused about the whole discussion
to your point Mr Cat
I REALLY don´t understand why a simple ironic comment, gonna stop somebody to post here
One of my biggest problem with this community is that we are not critical enough
and lots of people like to crawl each others balls
I have NO clue why i should write well done
for things like this
i don´t think it helps anyone( at least not in pushing the skill level), because it would make people think they´re cool enough... so why put effort in longer practice sessions
to really nail down something
i know you want to be pushing the same scene further
(in a different way tho)
but i think there is still some work to do.
by just waking people up
there is a reason why lots of jugglers look down on the spinning scene
criticism we gave him heaps
he now knows much more about the terminology
used in juggling
and that actually a 6 staff shower requires a lot more effort
.....
back in the days i was also playing around with number multipexes (only 5 staffs tho) could hold it for like 2 rounds
its actually easy to flash but hard to continue
for me
because i cant really throw clean multiplex with out an extra spin
and that needs much more time , i have only six and a half meters in my training room
i hope that was constructive enough
i would say we can let the theme rest for now
i mean i´m German and sometimes i cant resist a bit of irony

i still have no clue why you felt so offended
you got constructive criticism
you were the only one that got personal ...
if you go back and look you might see it's cause you took the piss unnecessarily, and before anything johnny wrote to you (even though his response was not too good either) - fine for me, and all the people who know you, but not so fine for someone who you should be encouraging. And there is absolutely no constructive criticism in the 20 posts above this one, i'm afraid. just lots of 'you idiot, you can't actually do what you said you could'. How is that constructive?
i'm surprisingly angry about this.

true. but still very grey... although I think you would be a dyslexic hardcase facist... in complete opposition with you previous statement about spelling even your n is backwards.
