3MoB video
Hydrophidian
Well, it's about a week early but, here it is. The lightly anticipated
sequel to my first real bounce video, Two Weeks of Bounce. Same
Balls!! New Tricks!! Same Garage!! Slightly Longer Hair!! Bigger Me!!
Yes, due to losing my job nearly 3 months ago, and facing the
unemployment inactivity, I've put on nearly 25lbs. Don't worry though,
I got a membership at the Y and will be doing some extensive cardio
and lifting to remove the new tummy. I'll also be shooting some toss
juggling videos in their racquetball courts so, look forward to those.
Since I put out my 2WoB video, I've been learning a ton of (I think)
cool and (I would consider) technical tricks with 3, 4, and 5 bounce
balls. I've also obtained a sixth and seventh ball so, there are a few
6b tricks in there and, a recycled clip of me qualifying 7b. This
isn't a catalog of every bounce juggling trick that I know. Not even
close, actually. This is just a compilation of a bunch of tricks that
I think are cool and reasonably difficult.
I'm drawing inspiration from tons of different bounce jugglers. Far
too many to list, individually. Basically, if you have any videos of
yourself bounce juggling on the internet, I've probably seen them and
drawn some sort of inspiration from them. Thank you.
Once again, the music is Hydrophidian. That's me, if you didn't know.
The two songs that I randomly selected for this video are fairly old.
5 to 7 years old. I wrote everything myself. The drums are a
combination of drum machine and a Roland electric kit. The beeps and
clicks were done in the program Reason and, the keyboard, bass, and
guitars were all played by me and recorded direct. I use the program
Cool Edit Pro to record outside instruments.
I'm in the process of making the switch from 3" B-16 bounce balls from
Play to, 2.5" Turbo bounce balls from Mr. Babache. I'm switching to a
smaller size to make higher numbers and multiplex stuff easier and
also, because I recently learned to bounce pass and everyone else I'm
going to be passing with uses 2.5" balls. So, look forward to some
bounce passing in my next bounce video.
Enjoy.

Really liked the video, how much did you practise a day in those three
months? Cause I've been thinking of using this cold winter days to start
bouncing again..
By the way, I used to have those Turbo Mister Babache balls. Be sure you
keep them at 15� temperature because otherwise they lose a lot of bounce.
Could be this problem is now taken care of, I got them when they just got
out.
Keep it up, can't wait to see what you're able to do in 1YOB

I would practice my bouncing somewhere between 30 minutes and 2 hours
per day, depending on the day. I'm practicing less now because my
garage isn't heated so, it's pretty cold out there. That's why I'm
almost always wearing long sleeves in my videos. I'll still go out
there but, only for about 15 minutes at a time.

Yeah. Most all bounce balls are that way. I never keep mine in a cold
environment. Usually, they just have to warm back up and they're fine,
though.

I'll probably put out a 6MoB first. It's going to fall right on April
Fool's Day though so, we'll see. ;) After I posted it, I thought of a
bunch of other tricks that I would've liked to put in it but, I'll
save those for the next video. We had this cold snap come in so, I
knew that I wasn't going to be able to film much over the next week
so, I kind of rushed the production. I had some cool 4b force tricks
in mind that I didn't get to. I also would've liked to get some
smoother and longer runs of some of the tricks that did make it in
but, oh well. I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out.
