Juggling 4 Balls: Behind the Back

Video Transcript

"So in this video we're going to start talking about doing a back cross with 4 balls. Now if you remember when we did 3 balls the back cross is just a throw from one hand behind your back to the other hand, something like this. See that, I'm throwing from my right hand behind my back over my left shoulder to my left hand like hat. But now because you're juggling 4 balls and they don't usually switch you're going to have to mix up your pattern a little bit to be able to do that with four balls. One common way to do it is throw a 5 3, something like that. What we're going to do is we're going to make the 5 be the back cross then 3 go right in front. So that's one way just to get the hands to cross without changing your pattern too much. So we're, we're going to do a number 4 ball pattern, throw a 5 behind your back then a 3 in front and then we'll go back into 4 ball pattern. It'll look something like this. So that's throwing one back cross in a 4 ball pattern. Now this will take some practice. You don't have a whole lot of time to make that back cross throw, we still have to get it clean so you can drop back into 4 balls. Just practice it, working in your pattern. Practice it with your left hand as well. Do it both ways and this will help you working on some of the other more advanced back cross patterns."
