Dizz Posted December 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 Hehe Balls are not friendly on the keyboards. I worked on those arm rolls while waiting for my 3 hours late flight in the waiting room of the San Diego airport. Work on some skills and not doing any tricks that cause mass panic when I drop.

Dizz Posted March 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Bowie's got puppet hands! There is a guy behind him reaching around doing the tricks. His name is Michael Moschen and he started the whole craze... http://www.ministryofmanipulation.com/articles/michael-moschen/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheNewGuy Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 About how much do you practice, Dizz? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizz Posted May 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 Lately, not much. I pick up a ball a couple times a week for about 10 minutes each, if that. When I started I was at an hour a day for a few months. Today, I brought it to the pool with me and rolled for a half hour on body rolls. The ball I used floats.

TheNewGuy Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 Does it take long to get the basics right? I might consider giving it a try. If this summer turns out as last summer, then I'll find some dead time at my summer job, so I could use something to do then. And that something can't be FL, because I have to be able to let go and get back to work at once if something turns up. How important is the quality of the ball? And are there any "noob-friendly" balls? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizz Posted May 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 I started with a tennis ball if that tells you anything. The important thing is that the ball should be smooth and uniform in weight. A well worn baseball or even an orange is good for starters. Here is a guide for sizes. Start out finding as many ways to hold (stall) a ball on both your hands as you can. Then find stall points on your arms (elbow pit is good). Then start rolling from stall point to stall point until it feels natural. I like holding the ball ice cream cone style and switching hands. Then visit www.contactjuggling.org for more ideas, vids and forum. It's my other 'home' forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
