More Take-Outs in 4-handed siteswaps

9th August 2024 by Cameron Ford

978-about, 975-about (holy grail about), tips and dreams

5 years ago Nicki wrote an excellent article summarising the progress which had been made on take-outs in 4-handed siteswaps: https://passing.zone/take-outs-in-4-handed-siteswaps/

There was some exciting progress made at the 2024 EJC, so I thought it was time for an update!

At Passout 2018/2019 in Krelingen Christian from Pittsburgh brought the idea of doing take-outs in a 4-handed siteswap and workshopped 726-about, “What’s that about?” and “Manège à trois” (786-about), which I really enjoyed. Christian also has a page summarising all the different takeouts in 4-handed siteswaps: https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~ckaestne/takeouts.html

6-handed: aa799

6-handed siteswaps - aa799 is another one that is not very easy but quite nice

We managed to juggle this one at aichtal Drop GmbH Convention even though Juli was organizing - we first hated it, then it started working and we got round to kind of liking it.

Mayday Zap

Mayday zap is a 6-handed siteswap (global siteswap: a37979999) for 3 people and 8 clubs. Juggled by John, Katia and Leo on a rainy day in Oslo, July 2023, near Mayday bar 🙂

Killer Bunny About

In every manipulation pattern, an intercept must always be followed by a carry. Or… must it?

Killer Bunny About is a lab-grown pattern that was designed specifically to answer this question that had baffled passing nerds for centuries. If you want to know the answer, go ahead and juggle the pattern (or simply watch the video). The answer might surprise you!

Gare du Zap^2

Gare du Zap is the 6-handed siteswap a8999 (global), where you locally throw “pass self zap self self”. The pass (3.3 P) should be in the air a little bit longer than a self, the zap is just a little bit faster that a self (2.7 P).

Sorry Barbara. I simply forgot to post it on passing.zone. So for all others. This is already a little bit older recorded in spring 2021.

Why Not Zaps?! (85566)

Another “little” 4-handed siteswap passing with Zaps. Great for warming up, super nice outdoors pattern, even with windy conditions.

We survived the first year of the pandemic, we are healthy, we are allowed to have a super tiny little juggling convention and we can still pass.

Ever been in a fix when 3 people wanted to pass “WhyNot”?
