😅..I have a long way to go.

Somewhat more recommended than other places to get juggling props:
http://thebagladyonline.net/
-Flannybags: custom sizes and weights. Have seen and tried sets from this store - one said they had /aquired/ them, in a solemn voice. This store has been around for a very long time. Notable thing: if a 130g ball is too small in diameter, but also too heavy, they have a solution for that without just underfilling the balls.

-Oddballz, at a new store location now, previously in Camden. They run a good selection of Juggle Dream thuds and balls in different sizes - Juggle Dream have thuds with slightly bigger diameter, at slightly lower weight, compared to the Babache beanbags. Well made in all price ranges, the difference is in the material.

Oddballz generally add descriptions that are actually useful to jugglers on their site, but they also respond very thoroughly to questions (and will recommend against something that won't suit you, even if you ask for expensive silx and mx balls, for example). They also have the modernized version of my "uglies" set, in either 90g or 110g.

Only carry the popular things that sell, but if you were looking for something specific that they have, they have free shipping on orders over £40.

Mr. Babache. Expensive, but excellent. Is it worth it? I have several sets from them that I love, but never use.

Also comically expensive, but unique with the high number panel thuds. The (good?) idea with filling the outer layer of a thud with a heavier material(sand, rubber grain), and the center with a lighter plastic millet, comes from here. It's basically a thud that flies a bit like a russian ball.

Does this work? Possibly, yes. It's a good idea for trying out different weights that I would never have thought of.

Norwegian, Norwegian sand, extremely awesome, recommended by Hvidsten and Dragsjø. And extremely specialized for low-filled russian ball feel, in large and small sizes. Tried them, admire them, and never use them.

In the end, though: a juggling ball really doesn't need to be extraordinary or expensive. It just needs to be good enough. Because there really isn't a way to make a beanbag more than just a beanbag.

This compositing artist's rendition of juggling is actually physically impossible to perform in real life.

But if you want to learn how to actually juggle, feel free to join us at Møhlenpris, every Monday from 16-17.30.

Free, if improvised, juggling class, and a tall roof for a practice room available. No formal membership required. And feel free to come by and have a go at any time during practice hours.

Vi åpner offisielt igjen etter sommeren mandag 21. august. Treninger blir foreløpig i "Kultursalen" som vanlig, mellom fire og halv seks. Kom innom på mandag når du vil (sent eller tidlig), og husk at sidene på gymsalen er teknisk sett tilgjengelige når folk måtte ønske, så lenge vi ikke forstyrrer annen aktivitet.

We're officially opening after summer on Monday the 21st of August. Practice for the time being will be at "Kultursalen" as usual, between 16.00 and 17.30. Come by there on mondays whenever you'd like (early or late), and remember the gym next door is available to us whenever we'd like to use it, as long as we don't disturb any other activites.

It is never too late to learn siteswaps (although I still don't enjoy siteswaps, thank you so much for patient instruction, Thom Wall :p).

Also, be very welcome to come and practice with us at Kultursalen at the Møhlenpris senter, every Monday from 16-18. We can lend you props to begin with, and we provide helpful instruction for beginners (entry and instruction is free of charge).

Siteswap notation is a way that jugglers write patterns down. It was invented (or discovered – depending on who you’re talking to, that could be the start of a big, pedantic argument!) in the 1980s… by four people, at the same time, all independently of one another. (We’re not going to get i...

Hi, people. Because of the parliamentary elections, the room we're using is occupied the whole day, on Monday the 13th. The weather is, for the time being, back to normal as well, so I'm not going to suggest going to the park. :) See you next week, and take care.
