"Catching" up, so to speak

Okay, attempting to finally catch up by posting all the August footage in one entry here...

So, from August 6, here are a few patterns. Here's six cycles of Fire, seen from between the two feedees.

Here's 13 cycles of the Happenstance Feed, with a clean finish.

And here's 9 cycles of the (inside) Mango, starting with just the "feed" throws, and the Mango throws added later. (9 cycles counting only after the actual Mango has begun, of course.)

Okay, the only way to catch up is to cut out all the excess verbiage. So without further ado, on to the clips from August 13.

First, here's another six cycles of Fire. I probably didn't really need to post this clip as well as the above, but here it is anyway. We're wearing different shirts. Maybe it looks a little more hectic in this one, I don't know.

And then here's a good long run of 54 cycles of the Happenstance Feed. I think our record is something over 60, but this is certainly up there. Might even have been our new record at the time.

Here's 24 cycles of the Happenstance Juggle. This is probably the world record. (A slightly more interesting fact than some of our world records, given how long ago Martin invented the pattern, and how conceptually simple the pattern is.)

And from August 20... Here's an interesting pattern, the Line Feed, an 11-club drop-back line pattern. Note that I'm throwing alternately doubles to Rick and triples to Martin.

And here's the five-feedee feed weave, a fun many-people walking-around pattern. What makes it especially interesting is when we introduce the "after you!" variation (not pictured in this clip). Basically, the feedees have so much time as they come around the back (a 14-count, in fact), that they can exchange positions, effectively doing a site-swap in the giant five-object cascade they're walking. The simplest thing is for one of the feedees to say, "After you, so-and-so" to the person who normally comes through the middle behind them. The caller then effectively does a site-swap 6, while the callee does a site-swap 4; both of them therefore come through the middle and walk the same direction as the previous time, instead of the other way, as they normally go... Anyway, so here it is (with no site-swaps).

Okay, there. Almost caught up now. (We haven't been recording new footage the last several weeks, so I only actually have two more tapes to review.)
