Vova juggling with 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 balls

[@at8630]

Awesome juggling: Vova, Shine on you crazy diamond.

[@DavidGivinsnhe]

Juggling is great and music may have beat the juggling 😊 rare event! ❤❤ To both!

[@drithligh]

Mr. Galchenko, thank you for taking the time to answer so many questions here.

[@DXWXMX44]

GREAT VIDEO thanks for showing the misses - these two are so incredibly good it's easy to forget how hard they have worked. They look like grueling hours.

[@matiasheikkila917]

This clip got me into juggling many many years ago

[@LZNico]

22 catches of 9 balls and a kick up in the last one is my dream now, after saw it here.. thank's for sharing all the great vids...

[@tduermeier]

I love hearing the straight audio on the first part, it practically sounded like a tap routine.

[@Nomissrs]

I really like the start. Its just so good. Looks so effortless and that is when juggling looks good.

[@johnnations]

Vasili, thanks for all these videos. Tell Vova that I use my left hand for the first throw of my even numbers, too. I find, like Vova, that it helps me concentrate/focus on that first left throw. You guys are making KZbin and juggling more fun. And inspiring! spasiba.

[@yashkarani4356]

which 11 smart people disliked this amazing video..?

[@jugglingTobi]

Yes Olga. Its sad that she quit. But the main thing is that she is happy again and has no pressure ;-)

[@JamesStonley]

Awesome juggling man. Just shows what dedication and practicing can do. I quit after 5 as I didn't have the dedication you do. Well done

[@kooldaug]

this guy is an inspiration to me. I am 16 now and i have just srated really and i am going to try to stick with it, and i hope when i have had years of practise i will be at this level. Its wishful thinking at this stage though.

[@SteveNinetyski]

Did you find love in juggling or not? 14 years and you could be juggling 7 by now😁

[@Galchenko]

Vova did work on ovehead throws, but very little. Currently he is working on many tricks, but mostly polishing the old ones. There is no any recent DVD of Vova, but currently he and Jason Garfield are working on Vova's new DVD.

[@SmellsLikeNirvanna]

i always thought juggling was meant for those clowns in the circus with very dramatic objects such as chainsaws and flaming torches but after seeing Vova Galchenko i realized how serious it can be too. Vova is extremely talented but the hard work shown here proves why he is one of the best in the world...

[@Galchenko]

The beanbags Vova juggles are from the Sport Juggling Company.

[@Galchenko]

"Isn't penza vova and olga's hometown?" Yes, Penza is their hometown. "i guess this is like a trip back?" Yes, Olga was in Penza for 2 months and Vova - for 2 weeks last summer.

[@Galchenko]

@noahjdingman The beanbags Vova juggles are from the Sport Juggling Company.

[@Yomay]

"Explosive" by Bond is in the "WJF '05 promo2" video. Look it up.

[@70k3r74m35]

'Galchenko' said it. Juggling at its best ( i.e 'Vova') makes patterns look so smooth and controlled that it is easily percieved to be an easy skill to learn, but one relizes after throwing/atempting to throw 7 balls in the air and let alone catch them again is merely a skill now seen as so amazing ( i. e vova galchenko) oh and by the way 'Galchenko'. what does vova do other than juggle?

[@ootbyaknow]

this is the best juggling video i have ever watched

[@tomjuggles]

@Galchenko I think what he's talking about is the 9 ball version of 8x6 or 6x4. So, (ax,8)*

[@Galchenko]

@TempterMan Well, shower pattern consists from high throws and low throws. That is why 14 high throws = 28 throws = 28 catches. This is how everybody counts catches in a shower pattern.

[@Galchenko]

Well, Vova practiced rings a little when he was at the circus school at age of 7, but then he stopped it. And later he started practicing rings only at age of 18 as far as I remember.

[@Galchenko]

"i still don't understand why vova starts his 6 and 8 ball runs with his left hand." I think the reason is the same as with 6 clubs. Vova said about why he starts 6 clubs with his left hand: "I don't know, that's just how I'm used to it. I would practice starting with my left, because the first lefthand throw is the hardest. So I would start with it so I could focus on it."

[@Galchenko]

"What kind of balls are those that vova is using in this clip?" The beanbags Vova using in the clip are from the Sport Juggling Company.

[@Galchenko]

Thomas. He won the last WJF overall championship.

[@Galchenko]

"what's vova's record for catches in 9 balls cascade?" The most I saw was 30 catches. That was a run with a clean finish. And this is what Vova does every day. He does a few 9 ball runs of 25-30 catches with a clean finish. Vova never tries to do longer runs.

[@juggliac]

ya, Vova does seem to like juggling clubs more than other props. And that means he practices with them more, which is why he's better than other top jugglers with clubs. pirrouttes too though, he is very good with 360s. Has Vova been flashing 8 clubs yet?

[@Galchenko]

"can you put some videos of olga?" I am not sure if should make the new video of Olga. He has already made 4 beautiful videos with the same moves I still have on my computer.

[@Galchenko]

The beanbags Vova juggles in this video are from the Sport Juggling Company.

[@Galchenko]

Anthony started juggling at age of 3 or 4, Vova - at age of 6. And juggling wasn't a serious activity for Vova before he turned 11. And I guess Anthony started to work on 8 and 9 balls much earlier.

[@drixjpl]

@Galchenko Wow, I just bought my Russian balls with 3'', few hours after your comment. They are just super amazing! In this video i'm pretty sure he is using 2,75'' ones, because it don't seems he is holding 5 balls with 3'' in each hand before juggling with 9. Peace.

[@Galchenko]

@LordJasonGarfield "Why not?" Here is what Vova wrote on his Facebook: "...I won't be competing this year. Between school and work I'm pretty swamped these days and barely have enough time to practice, not to mention prepare for competition. I'll try to come down for a day or two though to juggle a bit and ..."

[@Galchenko]

@noahjdingman Vova juggles either the 2.75'' or the 3'' model, he doesn't remember which himself. But people say they are 2.75" size.

[@Galchenko]

@sethumbenhauer The beanbags Vova juggles are from the Sport Juggling Company. Just Google this company.

[@Galchenko]

@Jamony1 I hope to post new videos with Vova juggling this winter, when Vova visits us in Penza. "where are they juggling at some kind of hall or at there house?" In this video? This is the hall of a local Art Center.

[@gthourne]

From synch fountain he goes into (8x,6)(4,6x)*. I like the transition after that: (9x,8)(9x,8)(2,2)1x! with a 360° into b97531 and continuing with 864. -Miika

[@Galchenko]

"is vova going to any convention in September?" Nothing is certain for September by now. But Vova is going to Russia in August- early September.

[@Tennisers]

@Galchenko It's the 9 ball version of the trick he did at 1:26 to 1:36 Спасибо, Давид

[@poof65]

Very impressive performance. I admire vova skills.

[@poof65]

so 9 years later i came back to this video, always very impressive.

[@Galchenko]

No, it depends on Jason Garfield. He will be producing the DVD.

[@SuperKofo]

Wow. I just started juggling myself. I hope I can do this in 14 years.

[@Galchenko]

Well, I consider the juggling record as the World Record only in case it is listed on the Juggling Information Service Committee on Numbers Juggling page.

[@juggliac]

ok, well when he does I would like to see it, please post a video of when he does, he is very good at clubs.

[@Galchenko]

For both. Vova just doesn't try to go further.

[@Galchenko]

"when did first flashed 9 balls?" I think in summer 2006.

[@Galchenko]

@Jongliere If you mean "Does Vova like juggling?", then yes, he does.

[@Ur-_-Killa-TV]

I haven't been able to watch this video in months!! It said it wasn't allowed to play in my country for some reason.. GLAD ITS BACK!!

[@Galchenko]

Sure, Vova can do a db97531. There are many videos of Vova performing this move on the net. I don't remember what video exactly contains this move. Just look for it yourself.

[@WKfpv]

Vova is a juggling machine!

[@Galchenko]

@TempterMan "...I think other people count it like me." I don't think so, I think the right thing is to count both the high throws and the low throws.

[@Galchenko]

"... why does vova start 8 balls with his lift hand" I guess because the hardest part for him is releasing balls from his left hand. That's why he practiced the releasing starting with his left hand. And then he got used to start 8 balls with his left hand.

[@Galchenko]

@jlspma Well, yes, exactly 3 years ago Vova and Olga were in Penza I taped their practices.

[@Galchenko]

"...i hope when i have had years of practise i will be at this level." Good luck! :-)

[@050smallville399]

wow. vova is amazing at juggling

[@Galchenko]

@TempterMan "But if he had classes of juggling at circus school, what kinda stuffs his teacher taught to him?" Just basic things such as how to juggle with 4 balls, 5 balls... Plus Vova specialized in passing... Juggling teachers at Vova's circus school mostly just watched for kids, made them work on their juggling, made them practice... Don't look for a wonder, Luiz. If you want to have precise throws, just practice them.

[@clarx1]

You'll get their. I been going for nearly a year now and i just flashed seven balls in the last few days so go for it m8

[@MasonProJuggler]

How does he have such perfect form?

[@Galchenko]

"I believe he meant would they hire Vova." They would hire Vova I think. They approached Vova after the IJA 2008 fest, but I am not allowed to talk about it.

[@TechJuggler]

Anthony Gatto holds the world record for juggling 9 balls with 350 catches.

[@TechJuggler]

No, the 11 ball cascade is a bit different. The more balls you juggle at the same time, the wider your hands have to be apart if you want to juggle technically. And it's simply natural to lack strength with your hands spread out.

[@Galchenko]

"How do you manage it to answer all these questions?" Actually there are not so many questions I get. Just a few questions a day. :-) All these questions you see on my accout are from 3 years since 2006. "Do only you use this account?" Yes.

[@Galchenko]

@elcapitangrande68 Thanks! Unfortunately Vova usually doesn't read KZbin comments. Especially on my videos. :-) "...if you have met each other..." They met once in Reno in 2003. "...and if there is any sort of competitive rivalry?" The only rivalry I am aware of is their online competition on 5 club 5 up 360s.

[@Galchenko]

@KARLOSTAR100 This is "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" by Pink Floyd.

[@terry1979]

magnificent video ! especially the ending!

[@Galchenko]

"you guys don't look very happy" Look at 3:05, 3:42, 5:32. They look happy at these moments. What do you expect? That they would smile all the time? We have a saying in Russia: "Only fools are always happy." This is a hard work to practice juggling for 3 hours.

[@Wookeyjuggler]

I dont think anyone has ever done an eight ball eight up 360, except perhaps anthony gatto, so eight club eight up 360 would be insane ( and fairly impossible)

[@MaltheTheJuggler]

@Galchenko he is talking about the video quality because he thinks it has higher importance than the juggling skill i guess since he havent commented that

[@Galchenko]

@drixjpl "what is the size of this ball?" Vova juggles either the 2.75'' or the 3'' model, he doesn't remember which himself. But people say they are 2.75'' ones.

[@Galchenko]

"...I know how dangerous bringing out personal information can be, so I don't want you to worry. I meant that generally: I won't bring out any personal information to anyone." This is weird, because I didn't share any personal information with you. The information I shared with you I posted here on the public video comments. So I don't mind this info being shared with anyone.

[@clarx1]

I WILL!!! lol i just started learning 6 ball half shower yesterday and am up to 30 catches and 25 catches average. i think it is more than possible to reach this level starting late but you just have to have a great talent. I dont think i'll reach this level coz i dont have a great talent but i am sure as hell gonna try. tbh i get more inspiration watching videos by people who havent been juggling for years and years but obviously i enjoy these sorts of vids too

[@TannerA999]

this video is awesome! he is so technically perfect!

[@azzorzer]

8 balls looks so fun to juggle, i wish i could do that ;D

[@unjongleur]

fair play for using PROPER sized juggling balls for 9 ball :) trying to do the same myself

[@Galchenko]

@GreenPinAnimations Yes, Vova still juggles.

[@Galchenko]

"what does vova do other than juggle?" From Vova's facebook: "Activities: Juggling, programming, math, video editing, compositing and animation, skepticism and critical thinking, piano, working out." Well, he also goes to the University.

[@Galchenko]

"what are vovas 8 and 9 ball records?" The most I saw was 54 catches with 8 balls and 30 catches with 9. Those were runs with a clean finish. And this is what Vova does every day. He does a few 8 ball runs of 40-50 catches and a few 9 ball runs of 25-30 catches with a clean finish. Vova never tries to do longer runs.

[@Galchenko]

"what juggling balls does vova use" The beanbags Vova juggles are from the Sport Juggling Company (sportjugglingco dot com).

[@Galchenko]

"It seems like he could flash 10 really easily." I agree.

[@AGL23]

The music makes this video really eerie.....this should be something fun and uplifting....(I thought)....

[@at8630]

The music is Pink Floyd, and I thought it was perfect with it. Matter of taste it seems.

[@DavidGivinsnhe]

​@@at8630you were and are correct! I had watched again just for the music! 😊❤❤❤

[@Galchenko]

"where do you get a wjf tank top from?" I guess you can get it from the WJF website.

[@FullOfSomething]

those are the fastest 360's i've ever seen. i tried to spin that fast and ended up hurting my neck...it was weird.

[@Galchenko]

@juggiyanni Yes, Vova is Russian, if you meant that.

[@Galchenko]

"a8642 (??)" It looks like one round of that.

[@Galchenko]

"What are Vova's 8 & 9 ball records?" Around 50 catches for both.

[@Galchenko]

Vova uses the beanbags from the Sport Juggling Company.

[@KARLOSTAR100]

next time you see him tell him to upload 10 balls and 8 clubs juggling please!

[@Galchenko]

"...I practice all the time..." You can't practice all the time. "...but I just can't get it right..." Just practice 2-3 hours a day for 15 years and you will get the same perfect form that Vova has. ;-)

[@Galchenko]

@biteski "how much time to improve from 5 to 6?" I don't understand your question. You improve your skills with every practice.

[@johnnastepny9309]

Yes, you are right, that's exactly what confused me. By the way, I forgot to say that it's a great video, I specially liked the 6 and 8 balls part.

[@Galchenko]

Vova has been juggling for 15 years.

[@JJBruno1]

that was unbelievable, how does he ever hold 5 balls in one hand to start? and great song choice

[@noahjdingman]

@Galchenko awesome thank you.

[@Galchenko]

"i read somewhere that daniel got the same amount of catches as vova did in the 9 ball endurance at the ija this year." Yes, but in club endurance Vova got 52 catches with 7 clubs, while Daniel got only 12 catches with 6 clubs! So Daniel still has a long way to reach Vova's level. "and vova has been juggling like 10 + year more that daniel." So what? A boy, who is 6 now, has been juggling 15 years less than Vova, but he has chances to get ahead of Vova. Daniel doesn't, if he started at 16.

[@Galchenko]

@1JugglingJosh "vova practice around 3 hours every day right?" Right. At least he tries to. "...does that mean he practice with each rob for one hour?" No. The amount of time he spends on every prop depends on many reasons.

[@SmellsLikeNirvanna]

oh yea i went to the site but he's youtube link is private... that's so sad i wanna see how good is he

[@Galchenko]

"can Vova flash 10 balls?" I think he will be able to do that if he tries.

[@Galchenko]

@danBuonocore Yes, Vova is right-handed.

[@MeaganAfterDark]

wow he makes 7 balls look like he doesn't even have to think about it. can you put some videos of olga??
