We were inspired to add a manipulator to Techno and came up with four variations! These 8-club patterns were first juggled in Albuquerque, New Mexico by Lana Bolin, Ian Chesser and Omar Ramirez. We named our favorite variant, Techniquerque, after the city of invention itself.
PATTERNS
Videos, notation and explanations of passing patterns.
We Will Rock You
A very short pattern that we accidentally created at the EJC 2024 while trying to create Ambled Mini Scrambleds, but we ended up arriving at something entirely different.
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? 🙂
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.
Ambled Vegemite Toast
Does anyone really like vegemite toast? I only like the ambled version with zero calories!
Ambled Postmen
Finally, the post has arrived!
Initially, we tried several ways of hand-delivering the carried club to B, but then decided that the timing is a little too tight. Instead, we opted for air-mail, which gives the manipulator just enough time to turn and catch the chop from A.
Ambled Anna Maria
Scrambled Anna-Maria has always been special to me as I first juggled this pattern with an “old” friend and we named it for her ill daughter, Anna-Maria (sBiAcB). Now, we tried one of the possible ambled versions, with the number 9.4 in Lucas’ list.
