More Take-Outs in 4-handed siteswaps
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
The Chipmunk Series
Play Video Preparation Chipmunk (1 ball) Play Video Extended Chipmunk (2 balls) Play Video ChipPunk Play Video Golfing Chipmunk (4 balls) Play Video Dancing Chipmunk (2 balls or bottles)
Catch the Carrot
‘Catch the carrot’ is an easy pattern with a short sequence, which makes it very beginner friendly.
It is a three-person manipulation pattern based on a Jim’s 3-count.
2p 1 3p 2 “Benni”
This siteswap has long been around – but now we finally took a nice video in the Bodensee
2p 1 variations with balls, clubs and penguins
2p 1 is one of the most basic and simple siteswaps – so it’s time to fool around!
2p 1 1 2 “Michel”
Michel was asking for a drinking pattern that could be passed with the pandemic still running strong – to each their own bottle now!
Easy 3 Clubs Warmup (1.5p)
A super easy warmup for beginner (club) jugglers who want to feel out clubs. No juggling skills required!
Flip Flip Pass Hug (or Kiss) a.k.a. Pärchen-Pattern (2 2 1p 1)
Another pattern in the “Passing for non-jugglers” workshop. It´s super easy – and super cute.
“Sascha”
Sascha was a very nice surprise at ejc. He showed up at the “Passing & Drinking” Workshop and immediately asked whether we were interested to try a pattern. He had seen and memorized the pattern from the youtube video “Prechac with my Friends” by Danielfausto, but lacked partners to try it with.
