4 JUGGLERS
Ambled Mini V (iC cA)
Ambled Mini V is the first pattern to add an extra club to Wiebke’s Mini Scrambled family of patterns, specifically to Mini V (#6). Since it is shorter than a “full” Ambled pattern and has an easier feeding sequence, we might start recommending Mini Ambleds to people who want to start learning manipulation patterns with double passes.
Similar to how there exist more than 27 Ambled patterns, there should also be more than 6 “Mini Ambleds”. Does anyone want to find them all? 🙂
Wiebke’s Waltz
Wiebke’s Waltz is a Phoenician Waltz inspired take out pattern on a walking pps feed (the same base pattern as zippy)
It was developed and presented at the 2023 coastless con along with variants in the “wedding waltz” family.
In the pattern, the carry and steal of the subsequent substitution are replaced with a ‘clink’, to toast the Happy couple. This is followed by a phoenetitian waltz turn for another substitute, and a phoenetitian waltz style intercept in preparation for the next clink.
Fallen Angels
Fallen Angels is a manipulator pattern where the manipulator is doing left handed Champi and the jugglers are juggling a three count vs pass pass self walking feed.
It was first juggled at the 2024 BJC by Jon, Ed, Katie and Cameron. The base pattern was figured out by Katie, Ed and Cameron.
Mini-Scrambleds
Mini-scrambleds is a family of 6 manipulation patterns founded by jugglers in Enschede in 2022. They are related to the scrambled series by Aiden Burns.
You can find a notation and explanation in a more theoretical and more practical version. The theory is fun but by no means required to be able to juggle the pattern.
List of the 6 Mini-Scrambled Patterns:
cA iA (donkey)
cC iB (back-up)
cB iC (tosti / swiss knife)
iA cC (sunny side up)
iB cB (ebay)
iC cA (mini V)
Theory:
The Mini-scrambleds are a result of the experiment to simplify the scrambleds. Whether they actually are easier is debatable but at least they are shorter.
As the scrambleds, the mini-scrambleds are based on a 2-count vs 4-count feed with rotating positions. Opposing to the scrambleds it consists of only two passes before it repeats again (A-B and A-C).
The manipulation consists of a carry and in intercept. Since there are only 2 beats in the mini-scrambleds the substitute that you would find in a scrambled is left out.
Since we can chose the position of the intercept (A,B or C) and it’s beat (1 or 2) there are 6 possible variations for the mini-scrambled. (As with the scrambled the position of the carry is dependent on the intercept.)
The actual juggling:
All mini-scrambleds are 10-club, 4-person patterns with 3 passers and one manipulator.
The manipulation pattern has 8 beats (only the throws from the right hand are counted, so actually 16 throws) until it repeats again. That means you only have to remember 8 steps. Those you can see in the table underneath or in the videos. The shirts of the jugglers is colorcoded, so you can follow the notation easier. Red always starts on position A, blue on B, green on C, and yellow as manipulator.
P: Pass – the color refers to the Juggler the pass goes to
s: Self
c: Carry, this club is brought instead of thrown
pelf: A pass-self that is thrown to the manipulator without spin
-: only catching
-(i): only catching/receiving – This is the intercept
Ambled Feedie Wechsel Dich
“Feedy wechsel dich” is a Scrambled V variation that was invented due to a leg injury. Now that we were developing “lazy” patterns for jugglers who won’t or can’t walk, we improved on it – by adding a club.
Lazy 567-About
The “Lazy” way to Siteswap-Abouts is a great adaptation to jugglers who can’t or won’t run around.
567-About is nice and easy even without a lazy juggler – and it’s still nice and easy with a lazy juggler!!!
Lazy 96677-About
The “Lazy” way to Siteswap-Abouts is a great adaptation to jugglers who can’t or won’t run around.
And here’s for you, finally an easy siteswap to do the lazy way! As the 9 is being carried, the Runners only do 2-count and then have lots (zip-zip-zip) of time to to the carry.
Lazy 972-About
The “Lazy” way to Siteswap-Abouts is a great adaptation to jugglers who can’t or won’t run around.
Plus, it’s a nice way to invite a 4th person into your “-About”. It’s similar to going “on socks” but 1 position stays at their place all the time. By the way, we should mention that the juggling is most advanced in the “Lazy” position.
