PATTERNS
Videos, notation and explanations of passing patterns.
Cold Shoulder
Cold Shoulder is a new pattern that copies the manipulation of the regular roundabout into a three count base pattern. After a bit of fooling around with different styles of manipulation we came up with a version that doesn’t have zips, therefore contains a magic club that is never thrown – the perfect attribute to make it a beer passing pattern, or in our case an ice cream passing pattern.
9 Club Roundabout
9 Club Roundabout is the classic pattern Roundabout with 2 clubs added. The base pattern is 8 club 2 count on doubles.
It was first juggled for a two rounds by Lukas, Adrian and Cameron at a juggling club in London but they didn’t film it. At the 2023 EJC they finally got two rounds on film.
The pattern was first proposed by Cameron. There is a trick in 8 club 2 count on doubles where you throw a right handed quad self and your partner responds with a right handed single self. Cameron realised you could use this to add two clubs to lots of the classic, right handed, manipulator patterns. This is similar to/inspired by the way Triolar (a juggling trio focused on club passing consisting of Liza, Anna and Ronja ) realised you could add one club to roundabout by throwing a triple self in 7 club 2 count on doubles.
Cameron has vague memories of trying some of the “simplified roundabout” patterns from how to steal from your friends with 2 clubs added at the 2019 EJC with Andy (and someone else presumably). He also remembers trying one transition of 9 club roundabout at the Krelingen passout with Becky and Jon. He also got a few transitions with Danny and Brook at a Bath Upchuck, probably in 2019.
Super Lazy 966-About
The “Lazy” way to Siteswap-Abouts is a great adaptation to jugglers who can’t or won’t run around.
966-About with 5 jugglers is about as lazy as you can get!
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.

Crossed 3V
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
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.
