| Hi, this is some fun statistics on juggling and alcohol: 20 beers (33cl 5.3%alc) were taken during a period of 12 hours. Before every beer the best number of catches, with five balls, of three tries were noted. 200 catches were set as a limit. To not myself influence the statistics I asked a good friend of mine to keep the record. So that everyone was going to have a fair idea of my "partystate" he also made some short notes. (This was part of a student-event that we combined with juggling, we normally don't drink 20 beers on a Tuesday.) | |||
| Time | Beers | Catches | Statecomment (by my friend Henry) |
| 0:0 | 0 | 200 | Hell of a robust cascade. |
| 0:23 | 1 | 200 | Sure thing, he got better for the love of god. |
| 0:52 | 2 | 200 | Yepp, now I know it. He gets better. |
| 1:21 | 3 | 200 | Still steady as a rock.(2:nd try) |
| 1:46 | 4 | 200 | Quite steady, yet a new type of bodycontrol.(2:nd try) |
| 2:22 | 5 | 200 | Yessire! He did the wooss-flash before tho, just so you know... |
| 3:43 | 6 | 200 | No problem. Good juggling after 6 beers and a kebab (foodtime). |
| 4:20 | 7 | 200 | Asshole. He won't go down. But he's a little slow between rounds. |
| 5:01 | 8 | 200 | Good. The cascade is moving a bit. Fine otherwise. |
| 5:30 | 9 | 200 | Takes a few steps. Wider cascade now. |
| 5:58 | 10 | 200 | This is getting boring. A few steps, but a nice cascade. |
| 6:27 | 11 | 199 | Almost as good as the first one. Though it looks like he has to work a little more with it now. |
| 7:00 | 12 | 144 | Quite messy. Does small compensations frequently. (3:rd try) |
| 7:37 | 13 | 165 | Nice and steady. Disturbed on 2:nd, Did a couple of compensations.(3:rd try) * |
| 8:21 | 14 | 199 | Neat. Smooth cascade. Ola is nevertheless quite drunk, you can tell by the way he talk. |
| 8:58 | 15 | 199 | Good and tight juggle despite another drunk disturbing asshole. |
| 9:30 | 16 | 200 | Nice. He was by his own and running a little bigger cascade than usual.(3:rd try) |
| 10:06 | 17 | 100 | Quite neat cascades but has troubles holding all five in his hands without dropping.(3:rd try) |
| 10:45 | 18 | 40 | Much people moving around, but much beer too... (2:nd of 3 tries) |
| 11:22 | 19 | 40 | He is pissed as hell. Bad cascade, compensates really alot. (2:nd of 3 tries) |
| 11:50 | 20 | 54 | Messy cascade (2:nd of 3 tries). Compensates ALL the time. Now he's completely owned by the juggling. concentrates ONLY on that, and looses. But he has done some really great juggling and everybody here has been stunned!! |
| * = After 13 beers and four tries: a single backcross and an immediate collect. | |||
Here's the statistics (click for enlargement):
Some samples of my props (and closeups).
Some pictures of me juggling (nothing really).
Some examples of holding and releasing several balls from one hand.
A 5bMM try in my own designed anti-drop-sheets
that brings all dropped balls right back to you waist.
Works good indoors too (use doors, shelves, hooks
for mounting). Recommended: 3-5 balls.
