    I need to learn this now as well. I see you used a stage ball. Looks like it would hurt less than an acrylic.

    I use a novelty giant tennis ball - doesn't hurt at all.

    oops, sorry about that empty comment; anyway I was saying:

    I find the forearm version easier, but still, the trick is hard. Not that I had even practiced it lately but at least it was the last time I tried learning it :)


    Me three?!

    huh! fascinating! i would have said that the key was keeping your arms straigt as the ball approached the neck.not circular at all. i guess this all leads right back to my favorite ferret quote...

    oh go on then, actually its pushing your head forward and doing an ordinary chest roll only leant a bit further forwards with some other minor refinements, and shifty's not arrogant, I am!

    ... and a technical note about this trick. I find that you can have more control with the roll if you keep the plane flat out in front of you (like making a big hula hoop with your arms that is parrallel to the ground.. thanks for the wise words, Greg :) ) You can see how Shifty loses control of the ball as it moves down the receiving arm and speeds back into the cradle. Try practicing the roll from outside elbow to outside elbow, or just butterflying the ball into the behind the neck point and practicing a smooth, controlled roll back down the arm.

    Yeah I did mess up a wee bit there, figured it wouldn't really matter though. I'll try and get it retaped. But Ryan makes a good point, try to keep your arms in a circle the whole time. That actually does help.

    i'm working on the "aladdin version" he can do it with an apple with his arms wide open !

    ...but maybe he can do that because he's just a drawing...or i need some more practice

    there's also the old basketball trick with the arms out in a straight line that's kinda cool. fun to do too.
