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.

A rather difficult but rather nice 7 club siteswap.

J1 does crossing zaps – so he does strainght single passes! J2 does straight zaps, so he does crossing single passes.
The zap and the pass need to be a full beat different in their timing…so, floaty single passes might help!
The zap is magic, again.

This pattern was a part of the "Improving your zaps" workshop by Brook & Nicki. It is quite easy but more fun than 5 zaps 1‑count…
The zap is magic. Unfortunately we took only super beautiful red clubs to the beach, though.
