2 ball top of the head stall

my experience with that kind of stack is that the ring has several effects (affects?)

pro: the extra friction on the ball keeps it from rolling around
con: if the whole thing get tipped/tilted, it's harder/impossible to recover since it'll fall apart

possibly useful tips from band/color guard days: lower your hips/center-of-gravity. And touching the ground with the toe first (not heel) while walking smooths things out and comes in handy when moving faster than a walk

Back to Back transfer issue

the elbow of which arm? the recieving or the one it's moving from? It rolls down the one I'm transfering it from. Frustrates me to no end, especially since I can do it find transfering from left hand to right hand. Maybe I should pay more attention to what I'm doing with that hand and try and do it with the other.

I would say bareback because it gives you a better feal, but a light t-shirt is good also.

no idea what to call this motion

Multiball clacking

Just take it slowly... much, much slower than you are now. Just like with Boading Balls, you want to keep them touching at all times, which means a constant (light) pressure from opposite sides at all times. If, while doing it slowly, the balls separate, stop and correct your hand's position, then continue, and do this until you can do it slowly click-free. It's just a matter of practice.

The reason I hate clacking... for me, it takes away from the "floating" illusion, it breaks the flow.

Over The Head Roll : Tips ?

never had a problem with my neck for head rolls and juggling. More likely to get messed up from hovering over the computer screen or sleeping funny.

I recommend qi gong for softening the neck. If enough time is spent, then youe body will start becoming elastic and soft. neck + soft &elastic = good.

In the interests of providing a true, yet unsatisfying response, the secret to developping a good forearm roll is of course, to roll on the forearms. Grab yourself a soccerball, an acrylic, and another ball halfway in between the two sizes. Start with the soccerball and have fun.

Arm Rolling

Don't forget to keep your arm fairly straight! That's the trick that led me to getting it (after a long time spent rolling the ball everywhere except my elbow).

i nearly did once you could too all ya have to do is close your eyes and envision the entire world in its full sphereness with you sitting on the bottom (you can visualise your own country as long as you imagine it on the bottom)
when you open your eyes you feel like your gonna fall off, it works really try it cept you wont actually fall off, you instinctivly flip the world back the right way, kinda like not being able to hold your breath till you suffocate

Got a few questions :D

the subtle differences betweeen windshield wiper and butterfly have always escaped me.

it's all butterflies with me(even if i'm doing it rigid armed with elbow as isolated as possible)

possibly because windshield wiper is suuuccchh an ugly name.

(don't even think about defining one as travelling a figure eight path and the other an infinity symbol 'cos i'm not listening lahhl laah ahhllahhllaaalaaaahfingers in ears)

must work with my left hand more, after 15 years it's still not as controlled as it should be. solid, yes, but not absolutely controlled.

2 days. hmmmm. worry about it in a couple of months.

Thanks for the tip silver, Someone told me that before, but i suck so much at the behind the neck that it hurts anyway. But I'll try to alternate a bit anyway, it can only do good.
