I'm too lazy to type up a new description so, I'm just pasting it from
the YouTube description box.

I had a reasonably good bounce practice today so, I decided to pick
out a few of the tricks that I'm currently working on and throw
together a little video. These aren't "long" runs of the tricks,
basically because I'm just learning them. This means that my technique
isn't solid either. It's just a glorified practice video, more than
anything. In hindsight, I should have worn a dark colored shirt so
that you could see my juggling balls better.

The tricks are;
5551 A fun and easy little trick that I'm trying to get solid so that
I can work on 55514

633 Just wrapped my head around the rhythm of it yesterday and am
boldly qualifying it today. Looking forward to all of the cool
variations.

534 This is another move that the rhythm is tricky with. I'm happy
that I'm finally starting to see longer runs develop. To anyone
wanting to learn to bounce this trick, I recommend getting 53(lift the
5, force the 3) down on both sides and, getting 531(5lift,3force,
1pass) down first.

642 Just thought of this one today. The weird part here is keeping
your hand from colliding with your 6 while forcing the 4. Getting
that, "right right, left left" rhythm is funny too.

[75]24 5b Variation. I'm not sure of the exact siteswap for the 5b
version of this trick. Basically, you just do [33] but, force the
first catch back down, catch the other one then, catch the force. Very
collision prone.

(6,6)(6x,2)* Awesome little trick. Looks fantastic when done well. I
can only manage 15-20 catches right now but, it's getting a lot more
comfortable.

Split-Force This is a little 5b multiplex trick that I came up with.
You just lift bounce 5b splits and, force a quick 4 with the opposite
hand after throwing the split. It makes a cool "thud thud thud" sound
when you do it because of the three balls coming down quickly after
each other.

The music is a piece of a metal song that I wrote a few years ago. The
song is called "Quickie". It was supposed to have vocals put to it so,
it is a bit repetitive at times. If you don't like it, just mute the
video.

I filmed this all today, in my garage. As of today, I have been bounce
juggling for almost 2 months. I use 3", Play Juggling, B-16 bounce
balls.

I get bouncy inspiration from;
Moon (Emanuele Marchione)
Emmanuel Perez
Bounce Dicks
Eden Zak
Steve(thegoheads)
Sylvain Garnavault
Mike34717
Ivan Pecel
and, a host of others that I can't think of off hand.

Enjoy.

More often than not, the sounds heard while I'm bouncing are, thud
thud crash damnit crash thud thud damnit crash. Yeah, that sounds
about right.

I'm currently pricing the pvc joints and netting for making a bounce
cage so that I hear less "crash" and "damnit".
