After injuring myself at skating at the weekend I spent the entire evening juggling for a change. Simon & I played with juggling 2 interlocking cascades that we were so impressed with from Wes & Patrik's closing show at #BJC2013. It didn't take us many attempts to be able to run basic single spin cascade, but flats, other tricks & walking in circles was decidedly more difficult. I had a pass with Laurence using his Play one piece clubs that he picked up at the BJC. They have a very surprisingly good spin. Easily the best spinning one piece club that I have tried. I did find the very thick handles & the very large knobs at the bottom of the handle (more like a pommel!) to be a bit uncomfortable though. I also had a pass with Karina who is just starting in the world of passing. It's been too long since I taught anyone to pass so this was a lot of fun for me too. Owing to my lack of mobility I didn't join in with any gladiating but Cat & Simon played one on one for a while. Cat is working on his left hand attacks now which is good to see. If only we could get him to work on his finesse...

the play d club, which is a one piece club but with bits of coloured silicon, or the other play one piece club which came out a few years before and is quite soft/rubbery, but otherwise just like a typical plastic one piece club?
This would be the Prima one piece.
What sort of skating was that? I'm taking my kids to a roller-disco for the first time later tonight (yes, I know, I thought that was just an 80s thing too!). I hope I don't end up injuring myself too.
Dust inhalation from the roller-boots I have dug out from the attic is probably my bigger risk.
The session I go to has a roller disco followed by hockey (which is where I picked up my injuries). I use inline skates, but there are still a lot of people (typically the ones who do all the flashy dance moves) who use quads.
Sounds like we share another common interest!
I used to be addicted to roller skating, playing roller hockey and attending the roller discos as many times as I could when I was a teenager. I still played roller hockey when I was at university. At that point I also took up ramp / street skating, not that I was that good at it! I guess when you take that up in your 20's you have a little more fear of injury!
I'm really pleased that my kids have got into roller skating. Gives me an excuse to go to roller discos again! I've got a really bashed up pair of Fatty K2 'aggressive' inline skates, but for indoor skating I prefer quads. Unfortunately when I dug out my Roches from the garage the cold seemed to have affected the plastic. I put my foot inside them and they cracked and fell to pieces. Very sad :-(
20's? I wish! I started skating in November last year after being encouraged by a number of TWJC members. So far I've only learnt going forwards really fast, step over turns, fish tailing & am getting there with skating backwards.
It's really nice to see kids doing something active & loving it. The joy on their faces is fantastic. Some of the kids at the session I go to are really good, they skate at breakneck speed with their body pitched forward at 45° & their legs kicking up behind them above their head like an anime ninja.
I do wish they'd look behind them before they make a sudden turn though.
In hockey I mostly play in goal because my ability to stop & change direction is still akin to that of the Ark Royal. My juggling experience has really helped in this role - I know considerably more about how balls move than I do about wheels!
Actually, you stay in goal because you're REALLY good at it and we would properly suck without you! (Plus I got really angry when they made me go in goal, and no one should have to see that again).
Colin I am sad to hear about your ancient skates :( I would cry if mine broke.
