Chris Hodge's Upsidedown Box Tutorial

[@bhuvidya]

I've been trying to box juggle for months. You've given me more inspiration. so much practice to do! cheers!

[@noslowerdna]

Nice tutorial. Thanks for making this, the world is a little bit brighter because of it.

[@mathbelch]

Hey chris. Good tutorial! I love your siteswap "indicators" from about 1.05 I've not seen this before and hope it becomes a standard in tutorial videos. Good job!

[@SuperRezyser]

The last three tricks are so awesome!

[@bertusmoers2536]

Rock on! You legend. Good clean explanation. Very nice

[@NOFAITH09]

Amazing work the variations at the end we're fantastic!

[@evanfabri7297]

excellent and precise breakdown. Thank you for this contribution

[@Brntrogdor]

So about six months ago I commented on this video and said I had been practicing and could almost do it! Well just this morning I finally did it! The one video I have up so far of it is somewhat sloppy, but soon enough I will be posting a nice long clean run of it!

[@user-it4iz7pv1g]

Where is it?

[@superw0okie]

Excellent explanation been wanting to expand on my box juggle you made it look so simple

[@lostchaosx]

Woot I finally qualified this trick today! thanks again for the tutorial chris -- it would have been next to impossible for me to have done so with out it.

[@robert441]

Years ago I've put so much effort in this trick, it seems to be impossible at that time. Now,... in a few hours I can do it! Thanks to your video,.. trick feels strangely easy. thank you very much!

[@BliesBilli]

good real hard tricks tutorials are rare !!!

[@juggliac]

I love the sudden transition when you say "this!" and point... I had to do a few playbacks to get that.

[@theamazingjuggleman2395]

This trick is insane, I am still working on it but I know my regular shower and box will be so much better if I can finally get the hang of the upsidedown. My problem is that long over the top throw since I'm so used to showering and boxing with my hands close together but I am not giving up so easily.

[@pushinglimits3285]

How did it go.!?I know it's a long time ago but did you learn it.?😂

[@ManuelRospigliosi]

Great tutorial Chris!! Very well done!! I promise I'll practice this trick now, thanks a lot man.

[@TamasMZPERX]

This is fabulous. Thank you.

[@DerMacDuff]

Hi Christ, very cool tutorial, i liked the siteswap images^.^ But i find it very hard to learn the upsidedown box from the one handed. It is a lot better to learn it from the tennis variation at 3:00 - 3:03 . You only need to make the vertical throws as claw catches and it all comes very intuitiv and natural, its way more comfortable, and i think a lot of beginners can do it without any problems, the one handed upsidedown box i think is hard to learn for newbies. I hope to see more tutorials !:)

[@penguinjuggling]

@JugglingForCake Ok, I might have been exagerating a little. I was talking about learning it to the point of being able to do at least 100 catches, but as more people have told me how quickly they have learned it, I can see that it is easier than I was thinking. It took me a long time to get it but maybe that's just me.

[@markool89]

Wow, my favourite intro to any video EVER!! And cool video. I cant wait to start working on this properly. :-)

[@RodNight64]

this brat's crazy, fantastic.

[@Brntrogdor]

@penguinjuggling Right, it is awkward, but I've got 6/5 catches in it and looking at the video is looks great! So I guess I'll have to work hard on it and be able to do something you can't, just for the sake of doing that. (I have to also add, upside down box feels GREAT)

[@Tennisers]

I just started working on it 10 minutes ago, i'm now able to do the 2 ball exchange one-sided.

[@andydurnford]

Your upside down box is ridiculously clean ahah

[@max65359]

Thank's a lot for this tutorial :) I learnd this trick in only 2 days!!!!!!!! I also got some help from an spain juggler saining me what i went wrong.. and now it's really really easy :) This Tutorial is AMAZING!!! Thank's a lot :)

[@penguinjuggling]

+max65359 Congratulations! I'm glad to hear this tutorial is still helping people after 5 years.

[@penguinjuggling]

@Draitube It really depends on how good of a juggler you are already. It took me 6 months but I didn't work on it every single day for an hour and I already had a solid seven ball pattern. David Furman says it only took him a day to learn it.

[@iheartjuggling]

thanks to this i can finally do upside down box!

[@elhadilakel2277]

You are the best juggler my boy

[@TannerA999]

i really want to learn this trick, thank you for the tutorial!!!

[@Triathlonjuggler]

nice job! i am going to practice this one.

[@Leeroy49]

there's not only one inventor for this ;)

[@Jaredthejuggler]

Leeroy49 I talked to Ben Fry about this a few weeks ago and he said that he does not claim to have invented it. Ben said he's "pretty sure" someone else did it before him.

[@Leeroy49]

@penguinjuggling top-box is also common for this

[@Thegrumpyjuggler]

Chris, thank u very much 4 this tutorial...

[@mathbelch]

@penguinjuggling Now THAT'S dedication!

[@granjerojose]

an hour a day for 3 months?!

[@MrStreetshowkeith]

we're you in the Portland juggling fest renegade show this year (four club endurance winner)?

[@penguinjuggling]

Unfortunately, no. Would've been fun though.

[@penguinjuggling]

@Brntrogdor I tried it but it felt really hard and I didn't like the feel of it much so I gave up.

[@shmuli_bloom]

thanks a lot, great tutorial

[@Brntrogdor]

@penguinjuggling Yes, he is likely one of the best in the world with the box, so, have you gone for a penguin mills mess yet?

[@natecohen3179]

Thanks for the tutorial bec of you i learnt it

[@thegreatumbra]

This reminds me of the trick 'real tennis'...this is just a step up from that one:)

[@Raketemensch-fl3sv]

Dude, (not more than) 3 months for an *accomplished* juggler? I guess i'm about to find out how accomplished i am. Good tutuorial, btw, thanks.

[@jamescoleman8173]

So how accomplished were you lol.

[@v3n481]

McStud rip

[@DiegoGonzalez-go2qy]

@@jamescoleman8173 He quit juggling. He feeds plants now XD

[@penguinjuggling]

@lolmanhonk It took me a little under 18 months of practice to get 100 catches of 7 balls.

[@Brntrogdor]

@penguinjuggling Thanks! did you see the video by MURA345 called "Box" it is the one I watched right before I finally was able to do the Upsidedown Box, you should check it out if you haven't yet!

[@alexanderb5485]

2.5 months and i've got it for 7 catches. now i continue to improve it. Fast trick , and very sensitive for "columns" quality. You just have no time to compensate errors. My base before this i have started: box and non stable 4/shower :) - so i think that all problems with u-d-box concerned with special technique of simultaneous throw-moveup-catch. I think that noobs have some advantage becase they have no movemet stereotypes of pro-jugglers.

[@divadgivin369]

One day soon I'll have. Thanks for the time.

[@divadgivin369]

Not even close yet I’ll press on 😮😅❤

[@penguinjuggling]

Thanks. I doubt the siteswap "indicators" will become standard though. I had to place each number in every frame of the video and spent about 7 hours on those 20 seconds.

[@andydurnford]

Chris Hodge hollyyy shiiiit dude. Sorry to say but there is a much easier way of doing that 😅

[@Heeschh]

Isnt the siteswap for box supposed to be 4,1?

[@penguinjuggling]

It's confusing because a 2x is thrown the same way as a 1. In this case, since the pattern is a synchronized pattern, it is a 2x. Remember that the average of each number in a siteswap is the number balls you're juggling. Box is (4,2x)(2x,4) so 4+2+2+4=12 12/4=3 balls.

[@Heeschh]

Ohhhh I thought always thought siteswaps just represent throws with numbers BTW your mills mess is so beautiful

[@karlerlandsson6547]

wow, you so good!!

[@nnard1616]

you should try joggling while doing upside down box. That would be interesting to see.

[@9oodfly]

Excellent

[@penguinjuggling]

I know but he did invent it before he saw anyone else do it. He also invented the name for it, which, as far as I know, no one else has done.

[@penguinjuggling]

@Brntrogdor I saw your video. Looks great!

[@entrancemperium616]

in the begining it would be a good idea to toss the ball with a snap of finger.

[@luisgabriellopezzambrano5054]

Gran Master Cris

[@a.monacoco]

What juggling balls do you use?

[@penguinjuggling]

I was using Sil-X in this video but use G-Ballz now.

[@blaykp]

Awesome! Thank you! That was great!

[@penguinjuggling]

@Brntrogdor Yes I did. It is the best box video I have ever seen.

[@pedro10gouveia]

este ainda dá para aprender sem muito esforço agora o INLINE3 é um pesadelo xD boa sorte

[@JugglingForCake]

@earlobe417 that's wwwaaaayyy exaggerated... I made it up to around 10 catches average in a few days, in all about 3 hours, then in the next weeks I just did half-minutes here and there in the course of my usual juggling (that's how I accidentally started learning stuff (works amazingly, you'd be surprised at how much you learn while you're not juggling ^^) bottom line, its easier than you think

[@at8630]

I think I will just do a regular box standing on my head.

[@sudaknot]

Ok not gonna lie thought it was cool when you pointed at your own juggling pattern

[@LucasAdverse]

I really want to learn this trick and INLINE3 before I die haha

[@huhuolivas]

you are awesome .....

[@farbpinsel465]

nice dude

[@yannickpezeu3419]

Nice !

[@grayling0865]

haha funny intro mate ;)

[@JoeShowers]

What exactly is "real tennis"?

[@ilyatoporgilka]

Очень простой трюк! Я тоже так могу!

[@whocalledchapo]

9 years late but he sounds like the guy from I carly but wow this is impressive

[@agent_albert]

Ok, so I tried to learn this trick a year ago and it went just awful. So I kinda started again yesterday and I used different method (I kinda skipped mastering N-box and tried to do one full cycle from for both sides) and guess what? I made about 10 catches after 30 min. Maybe it would work only for me but now it was just super easy.

[@AlexJuggles]

Congratulations! :o) It is such a hard trick!

[@grayling0865]

I like your voice

[@Doublejugglebubble]

Wooooow!!!!!!

[@5bJuggla]

That is 3b Wizardry.

[@Fireice97]

If you spend 1 hour a day in three months it should take: (4000 catches a day)*(90 days)= 360 000 catches.

[@TheYannickOne]

if you catch everything :D

[@KARLOSTAR100]

i can do this!

[@armandoramosjimenez7573]

A Nerd is best juggler than me. :c

[@lostchaosx]

Nice tutorial! It would have been better off with subtitles.

[@leonidpetrov3902]

cool )

[@えみまる873]

library of Jugglingから何度もこの動画に飛んできたことあるけど、その度に(上手すぎて参考にならない笑)って思う

[@dominnnio1]

TU POLSKA przejmujemy to video

[@KARLOSTAR100]

i can get about 12 catches

[@dnb303]

If you think an hour a day is a lot to spend on a 3 ball trick, then you're not doing hard enough 3 ball tricks!

[@martinmcfly2382]

THREE MONTHS??? Ain't nobody got time for that!!

[@tommasobitri8590]

True story. It's fun though.

[@tommasobitri8590]

Try learning "alex"; You'll be missing the upside down box very quickly.

[@iownawiianditkool]

.....hahahaha

[@bboyHarrypotter]

such a robotic presentation
