Hello!! I'm japanese. I love watching Contact Juggling on youtube. I bought crystal ball yestaday. I study Contact Juggling useing your videos. I appreciate your wonderful videos.

thanks, lindsay! the simple things can be so hard when you don't understand the little details that make it work. and fidgeting! not just for time-wasting any more :)

you are a awesome teacher. watching your videos along with another "teacher" on KZread has made me a decent contact juggler. thank u for showing me such a cool art form

Thank you for your tutorials! I've just started learning the basics, but your tutorials are bringing it to life :)

Yeah, I figured it out. I was trying to force it from one finger to the next. Once I I relaxed my fingers a bit, I was able to get it. Thank you!

your videos are great really helpful info ive been contact juggling for 2 weeks so far :) still such a long way to go

Muchas gracias por tus tutoriales, me han servido mucho!

This video is helpful and great pacesetting for newbies. Thx!

You have an AMAZING name!

thank you for all tutorials :)

These videos are great! Thanks :D

Damn.. Those smooth movements.

SUPER all your videos, thank you very much

Thank you for all your videos! Happy thoughts, San Diego, Ca.

I really have a hard time smoothly moving my ball in this way. I have very small hands, and I think I have a medium to smaller ball. Do you think I should go smaller or will it not really affect much?

You may find that they get in the way for some moves (like the windshield wiper) but for the most part you shouldn't have too much trouble. You will probably need to tweak some moves to work around them but it's definitely doable!

Hey Lindsay. First, Thank you for putting these videos up. I greatly appreciate it, and they have helped me quite a bit. Now, I'm trying to do what you are doing here, but I seem to have too much friction with the finger rolls to do it smoothly. I know this is operator error, because it's an acrylic ball (100 mm). I have relatively large hands, so that shouldn't be an issue... Soooo any other tips? What am I doing wrong? What are some common mistakes with this trick?

Yup! Rolling your fingers open and closed one at a time will really help. Even if you have to go really slow, focus on keeping it smooth as opposed to as fast as possible and work up to a faster pace. I', sure you can also find tons of hand exercises for people who play instruments like the guitar or a piano. Google knows. =P

Hmmm.... friction you say? Maybe try cutting into it with your fingers from more of a horizontal angle? Sometimes your acrylic can become sticky too. If it does just run it under some water. Also use your thumb for some extra lift when you're doing a squeeze up. Best of luck!

Thanks!

I love this video :D Got a *sticky* practice ball, 100mm, i find practicing this easier with my 65mm acryllic

Never in my life I thought I would have to use so much finger muscle omfg

You could try washing it. Sometimes body oils or other junk can build up and make them kind of sticky. Also focus on cutting in with your fingers on a horizontal plane as opposed to coming in on a more vertical angle. I hope that helps!

This is really fucking cool, i've literally just found out what it is ur really good at it

Ahahah I glove as well and I've always wanted to get into contact juggling. They have so much in common.(:

Do you ever have issues with fingernails? Or is there any movement in contact juggling in which fingernails may be an obstacle? I ask this because I play classical guitar and I need to have my nails for it. However, I'm interested in contact juggling but I don't know if it affects the contact juggling technique.

que lindo!

Hi, what size of ball is this, because I am trying with 75mm and I am not sure if it is too small or I just sux so hard xD

plz feel up the videos ur blowing my Mind

this is so awesome... but don't have a contact juggling ball so I'm doing it on a ball with a rough surface... and its not making it easier :(

when I try squeeze ups my hands sort of stick to the ball. it is acrylic so I dunno what to do.

Oh, I understand the mailman thing... Thanks for watching! =) Welcome to your new addiction.

ahhh te amo...!!

What type of ball is that I want one

what size ball are you using?

Thx

I'm having problems with the squeeze ups. It seems like my ball isn't as smooth as yours even though it's an acrylic and it seems to stick to my hands when trying that trick. What can I do to fix this?

I can't seem to be able to do the squeeze ups. Is itmaybe because my ball is a bit sticky? Maybe I should buy an acrylic one.

If you're using a silicone ball then it will be a little sticky. try really cutting in with your fingers on a horizontal angle. that might help! Otherwise, yes, this is much easier with an acrylic ball.

Yeah, I think I am pressing too hard on it, or I may be using the wrong angle. I'll keep at it. Thank you!

I have a big problem. My fingers are really stiff from yoyoing (Check my channel), and my fingers can't move individually. I will try and raise one finger and my pinky will raise automatically. I also can't move my middle finger down without my ring finger following. Are there some finger exercises I should do?

cool

NIce, i found this very helpful! ty. (you are pretty btw)

May sound like a stupid question but are my fingernails going to be an issue for contact juggling? If so, I'm cutting the things off! Thanks!

+Jolene Theresa Not stupid at all! I can keep fairly long fingernails as a contact juggler but there definitely is such a thing as too long. Maybe just go for a trim?

Why did Lindsay get into Juggling? Find out in her Nothing Off Limits Podcast interview kzread.info

Nice girl :)

What are the balls called?

Love your loughs, really

I find this move not as impressive looking, too me it's more of an exercise to get use to moving your fingers around the ball to teach things like the palm roll or squeeze ups.

I suppose ball jokes diminish as soon as you juggle 1 ball

SUPER all your videos, thank you very much
