5ballPREP, 5 balls, 4 balls, 6ballPREP, 126 minutes

I began my session warming up (way longer than intended, infact, i ended up practicing) then i jumped into the 5b cascade, and practiced 5 throws,6,7,9,then short controlled runs, and a few longer runs. I noticed more control this time! Also, I practiced 5 5b cascade throws, followed by a 3, repeat, etc. I also tried adding more throws, then i found this cool exercise: You do 5 5b cascade throws, collect 4, then flash again, repeat. It doesn't make sense in my head, but it's possible, and u don't have to rush either. I don't think. It really seemed to help me out before practicing the longer runs.

Then I practiced the 3in1. I worked my way up to 7 throws, then for the fun of it, and to test my limits..I tried to get as many catches as i could. And a few times i got around 10-17, and once, i was able to get 31! new record! I was struggling a few times, but for the most part, it was under control. To make up for it, i ended up practicing really short runs (3-7 throws.) And ended off with what felt like a perfect pattern, 8 catches.

I noticed a few things:
1. I tend to make the first throw from infront of me, it's hard to explain. It's not really a problem. And this type of throw often doesn't get corrected, it interrupts the whole pattern so I have to stop and collect (just one throw)
2. To run the pattern smoothly, i have to let my arms go down. I discovered this today.

Then I practiced my routine.

Theeeeen, I created a new one, and was FINALLY able to run through it successfully without any drops. I practiced this one a little bit longer than i should have but i did it. I might record it, but it still needs work, and it feels awkward!

Also, I WAS going to post a video of me juggling 5 a few days ago, but i recorded side ways and i don't know how to edit videos very well. I'll get a better video (one that isn't sideways!) and post some time. i'm lazy tbh. I've been very lazy lately...i'm not kidding. I'm just glad i've gotten in the habit of juggling everyday regardless of how lazy i am. :P

Total practice time: 126 minutes

GumybolzZ - ...and that I got a job...before that happened...XD
GumybolzZ - Yes. Something i need to look into. I know :P
GumybolzZ - 31 catches doh. Impressive right? :D For me atleast :P
Stephen Meschke - You worked on 3in1 for too long. Try more 4 ball fountain patterns, like 642, 6424, 61616, etc..
GumybolzZ - You jelly?
GumybolzZ - jk. Yeah, i probably did. But i spent more time working on the 4b routine, it was full of patterns I still haven't gotten enough control of, and i dropped alot. Ugh. Not doin that again. I'll have to check those siteswaps out, Thankyou!
GumybolzZ - It's wierd cause they're the tricks that your suppose to practice before jumping into 5. I feel more confident about my 5b cascade then those tricks...which are the 552, 55550, and..oh wow that's a short list. But yeah, those are the tricks i was referring to.
GumybolzZ - But i haven't been really working on them lately, i've just used them as a warm up, and i guess i got worse at them, or I just haven't gotten any better.
GumybolzZ - My previous 3in1 record was around 20 catches, but it was freaking luck i swear. So it's not a surprise that i was able to get something just above it.
