Contact Juggling Tutorials: Open Body Roll

[@DarrenToth]

Great video, but one thing...I've since figured out body rolls, but it took me years to put together the missing element--the hips, the lower back, and the knees. No one told me that they were leaning back slightly and adjusting their center of gravity, because to the practiced juggler, it is automatic and barely noticeable. The energy of motion comes from dropping your center of gravity and then raising up to control the curve as the ball rolls across the chest. It's almost invisible in a pro.

I hear you, foe the longest time I've had the same problem with not knowing the little leaning back trick until I saw one of Stacys' vids and realized it. Now I just gotta practice

[@Chocolate2OOO]

Hey!:) Nice of you to write that! But actually i think that everyone with a normal body perception is able to feel that and to find it out by his/herself. in my opinion its the magic about learning something you never did before, that you make your own practical experience. you´ve got the possibilities to learn all that in your own body.

Good point! When I make a 2.0 of this video I will make sure to mention it. Thanks!

[@LindsayIstace]

You're definitely not crazy. I just searched. I'm sorry about that. I'll make one once I have my tri pod back. Thanks for pointing it out!

[@LindsayIstace]

You are right... I just searched for it on my computer and couldn't find it either! I'll make one once I have my tri pod back. Sorry for the confusion! MAN I talk fast.... I should not drink three cups of coffee then make tutorials.

You said you have a tutorial on the closed body roll, but I don't see it...

[@habojspade]

Where did your closed body roll tutorial go?

[@ASAngeloMagic]

Cool.

[@Lalineayelpunto]

[@colinlouk]

Yeay. I actually did it once...of course I wasn't expexting it and the ball put a hole in my wall.

[@Egyptana]

This is very difficult...
