[ blind guess.. ] 7r back to back? fro-to balcony? on running stairs? accross high over pedestrians? .. with a little dog in the middle hopping and barking madly for not catching any...
ringspecific: pass one rolling over the ground. a frisbee-like throw, dunno

I'm pretty much just a ring juggler, and mostly passing, so this is an exciting question :)

You can do most siteswaps and patterns that people do with clubs. In fact I think doing those kinds of patterns with rings first is a great way to learn them because you can focus on the different heights and lengths of the passes without worrying about the spin. I could take several pages listing my favourites or ones to try, but it would be good to get an idea of how comfortable you are with passing siteswap notation and what kind of difficulty we're talking about. What passing stuff have you done before with 7-9 clubs/rings? You mentioned "apart from the basic 1 count, 2 count etc' - can you run 7/8/9 ring 1- and 2- count fairly well?

Another option is just tricks and different throws in 1 and 2 count, which have the advantage that you don't generally have to coordinate timing with your partner (you can just throw them and they get passes when they were expecting them). An example is in 7 ring 1-count one person can choose to throw a high self (would be a self triple with clubs) instead of a pass, and the other person just gets a hold (so they only pass when recieving a ring and at some point they'll be missing one, so don't make that pass - it's reactive).

Happy to provide ideas and patterns if you can give me an idea of what kind of thing you're after :)
