We were looking for a pattern for 5 jugglers without much running and as little manipulation as possible. Well, we managed! Ambled Mini V on socks is a very chill “on socks”.
PATTERNS
Videos, notation and explanations of passing patterns.
Chippy-Zippy
Chippy-Zippy is a combination of two existing patterns. Zippy (invented by Dr. Ed) and Chippy (the Zippy variation with a chop). Because both manipulators manipulate on their own beats it works pretty good together. The base pattern, a 9 club PPS runaround stays the same as in Zippy and Chippy.
Der eilige Wanderwaschbรคr (The hasting hiking racoon)
On the passing Con in Gรถttingen, Lisa showed us a nice pattern from Austria (from Wolfgang Schebeczek). The pattern comes with the nice twist of throwing two clubs simultaneously, while the rest of the pattern stays asynchronous. The walking pattern follows the standard counterclockwise change.
966-about-on-socks
966-about-on-socks is a 4-person passing pattern with 9 clubs, where every juggler should be able to pass 7 clubs in 3-count with double passes.
Dust Devil in 3-count
Scrambled 3V on doublesocks
If you combine 2 scrambled patterns, you may as well have 2 people “on socks”.
Or: We are 7. Should we split up or can we do something together?
Zippy_1
As Zippy is such a big hit (and we love to juggle it), we thought to imitate Aidan and find additional patterns of a zippy series. Aidan found 27 Scrambled V variations by permutating the possible actions in a 9 club 2-count runaround. As the resulting Scrambled V variations have only 3 beats, 3 positions to manipulate (A,B & C) and 3 manipulations (substitute, intercept & carry), this stands to reason.
