Cascade (juggling)

When cascade is juggling the easiest-to -learn juggling patterns with an odd number of objects ( For example: balls, clubs or rings ) respectively.

3-ball cascade

In this case, with two objects in one hand and a started in the other hand. The first throw is taken by the hand, in the two objects. When the object reaches the highest point, is the subject of the other hand cast off (and under the previously thrown object through ). This makes the hand is free to catch the first object. If the second object has reached the highest point, of the third article is cast off ( with the hand that also has thrown the first object ), and so on. It is therefore always thrown alternately with the right and left hand. The cascade is suitable for beginners, because similar throw and catch movements take place and the hands have fixed positions ( they revolve in the same place ), in contrast to the particular shower.

Shower comparison versus cascade

The 2- ball shower, many beginners have and it is difficult for them to shift to the cascade, since here every hand always makes the same movement. The one hand throws only, the other catches and passes only. However, it is the 3 ball shower always two balls in the air, as at the transfer of the balls both hands are involved. So the shower requires a greater throw height: 3b -Shower, Siteswap: 51 In the cascade, however, it saves a lot of time in that at times is just one ball in the air and only one hand is needed per drop. Accordingly, one can juggle lower: Siteswap: 3 In other words, from the fast, hectic ceremony at the shower is in the cascade a rhythmic liquid jonglierbarer, just highly symmetric and time-saving " whole " litter.

Cascades with more than 3 balls

In principle, all cascades are not much different with an odd number of balls. The technique and the rhythm is the same. Only the reaction times are shorter. It must always be higher, thrown more accurately and quickly. 5 balls you can no longer run after easy. You must be very exactly fall into the hand. The hand speed for 5 balls is not as fast as it seems at first glance. There is not much faster than the movement of the legs at a brisk jog. When learning the balls are usually thrown off too quickly in succession. So it happens when snapping to a no longer to be dealt with workload. For training purposes, should be dropped 5 balls without catching them. On rhythmic and precise impact of the balls on the floor you can check good.

Outside or reverse cascade

The " cascade falschrum " or outer or reverse cascade juggling pattern is almost the same as the normal cascade. The articles are, however, around the outside, ie over the previously thrown object, cast to the center. The flight paths intersect then only after its highest point.

Cascade with an even number of objects

A cascade with 4, 6, 8 to juggle 10 balls .. requires a very different, irregular throwing rhythm. The best way to learn throws an imaginary fifth fancy ball with one hand movement in order to adapt to the uneven rhythm Hoppel.

In terms of Siteswap, would a 0 or a 2 added at the end, so it is no longer a "real" cascade. Cascade -like siteswaps with 4 balls are for example 552 and 55550, the five ball cascade with pause (2) or hole (0).

These tricks are more difficult to learn. For beginners, the fountain is recommended as a basic pattern for an even number of items.
