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

Crossed 3V

19th May 202219th March 2022 by Nicki

Yes, it is possible to combine crossed scrambleds. And it’s much more fun because you do all the parts of the pattern whilst the four-person patterns are a bit one-sided. Here you can see the combination of crossed V and crossed 3.

If you want to make it easier, you can go in the other direction instead of running around the feeder.

As in all the crossed scrambleds there is this one extra self to make the pattern ambidextrous.

Crossed 3

19th May 202218th March 2022 by Jenny Matthiesen

Jenny had the idea of a new twist on the classic Scrambled V patterns: The juggler walking over to change the feeder now walks through the pattern to the other side, instead of around the outside. In other words, B walks to stand by A’s right, not to A’s left.

BrunEd

22nd June 202222nd October 2021 by Nicki

BrunEd is an ambidextrous 4-person manipulator pattern with five manipulation actions.
It is based on the idea of MinuEd, a three-person manipulation pattern based on Pass Pass Self, which was invented by Ed Clark back in 2015. The base pattern is Brunos Nightmare in Pass Pass Self.

Take-Outs in 4-handed siteswaps

23rd June 20222nd August 2019 by Nicki

756-about, 777-about, 972-about, 978-about

At the last Passout in Krelingen Christian from Pittsburgh brought the idea of doing take-outs in a 4-handed siteswap and workshoped 726-about, “What’s that about?” and “Manège à trois” (786-about), which I really enjoyed.

Dust Devil in 3-count

23rd June 202231st July 2019 by Nicki

Dust Devil is a very nice walking pattern which was introduced to the passout mailing list in May 2018 by Dave and Athena Davis.

Brunicki

4th January 20206th January 2019 by Juli

Brunicki is a 4 person manipulation pattern based on Bruno´s 3-count and 6-count feed. It is technically ambidextrous but as the jugglers always stay on their side of the pattern, each jugglers´ part is always on the same hand.

J, C and a Crown

23rd June 20223rd September 2018 by Juli

James and Cameron taught a very nice 7 club “righty lefty” passing workshop at Berlin convention 2018. I especially enjoyed their way of marking the starting juggler with a crown in their pattern notation.
