Zippy is the new craze of 2017! Invented by Dr. Ed and taught at Passout in Cambourne, it went like fire all over German Conventions. Is it hard? Well…if you are used to ambidextrous manipulations as well as 9 club PPS runaround – no.
4 JUGGLERS
Zippy_1
As Zippy is such a big hit (and we love to juggle it), we thought to imitate Aidan and find additional patterns of a zippy series. Aidan found 27 Scrambled V variations by permutating the possible actions in a 9 club 2-count runaround. As the resulting Scrambled V variations have only 3 beats, 3 positions to manipulate (A,B & C) and 3 manipulations (substitute, intercept & carry), this stands to reason.
Stern mit Loch und Saufen oder auch Shoting Star
For Christmas, the very first JIU crew got together again and we finally did that one video I was looking forward to for about a year: the five point star with 4 people, a vacant space to run into and a table of shot glasses with rum in the middle. The German name is derived from the non-drinking pattern name “Stern mit Loch und Laufen” and the English name comes from the original “shooting star”. Cheers and Enjoy!
RUM BEE
This pattern is the scrambled variation known as “B”. In Britain, it´s also known as the “Honey Bee” and the counting goes “Sun, rain, flowers” instead of “1,2,3”. During the carry you´d call “honey” and the bee follows the carry, buzzing. Well, the little bee got tired of all that “sun, rain and flowers” stuff – and as all clubs in the scrambleds are magic, at least here the carry can easily be a bottle and it is always neat if a juggler runs after a bottle, right? So, the little bee is now a cheerful alcoholic drinking to the health of its friends…
