dude you're so sick at juggling

Nice job dude I subbed keep it up

Props

Zak Mcallister that's so awesome, congratulations!

i really hope you can juggle 2 balls you have some kind of disorder if you can't do that 3 balls okay, you need some coordination for that, but 2? go to the doctor haha

what about not having arms?

why are you so offensive, no one asked for that

Well if you juggle it with a very short stick then it doesn't count.

Lol

No way lol

What are the odds! 😂

I noticed that too. Funny.

Woah, he looks extremely similar. Maybe they are related.

Maybe juggling is in the blood.

It is. Stupid Moron

Robotic_Llama stolen comment, lol its literally above this comment

same lmao

i need a name he re worded it as all good thieves do

Did you try the 14 ball juggle

That took me a minute

I was looking for this comment

Editor on point to get that effect

Apparently he grew a third arm in the last few years. Three-armed mutant vampire.

The two of them even look alike. I wonder if they’re related?

I love your name Spaghett

Bloink ok so? He was just saying because the moon has much lower gravity

@@rogg0224 yeah, but you don't have to throw it at that speed. You cab just throw it at the speed you want.

You could actually simulate that on earth.. You juggle up against a slanted board at the proper angle.

You could do 20

@@rogg0224 Bruh you know you still need to throw at a speed of over 2000 km/s to escape the moons gravity idiot

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

This guy is a master flasher

harken DYEJ brah?

Jugglebrah

You are too easily impressed.

it looks like the muscles wanna escape! I guess you really need that flexibility, too big muscles get in the way.

Juggling higher numbers is a good workout actually

Yeh, that's probably what they'd say.

Yeah somebody could juggle on the moon. Is there a loophole in the world record rules by any chance?

Random Guy I don’t think so because “WORLd records not moon records

@Alexander Supertramp bruh😕

haha 69 funny number go brrr

but thats not as click baity

It's probably because the world record flash is still only 14.

Why It Is Improbable to Juggle 15 Balls

Ramon Garcia but almost impossible Is a paradox as impossible means literally not possible so if it’s almost then by definition it would be possible.

I stumbled on my favorite channel here. Cheers sir ill be waiting for new uploads!

Oofff

Tim Evans no you need 16 balls all in the air simaltaniously to flash 16.

Woooosh

Justin Y. YOOOOOOU

HurricaneX31 r/woooosh

I'll bet Snow White had some experience juggling 14 balls at the same time. 16 once the prince entered the picture.

I know 7 guys who are going to be very happy with this news

But no one has done it yet

Me : whats a ball???

Me: throwing twelve balls, couldn't catch it with my thirty four hands, closing the video

I recommend taking juggling lessons. They help with that. It's just 2 hours a day :)

That's only like 5 things, that's weak. This guy can do 14.

Not if you shoot up a school you wouldn't

What is your point?

@@ObeseGorilla229 why

davood oh the point is if he can do 14 why didn’t he

@@palps5190 He flashed 14 balls at 0:26

Evan Patterson that was 13

Before you all cry, it was a joke.

'I'm happy for our species' **gucci gang gucci gang*

i remember watching your videos when i was an 8 year old kid learning how to juggle 5 balls omg

Look at this dude. Almost forgot you existed like 5-6 years ago

JeremyShaferOrigami I do not care

*_Y U P_*

I'm gonna show someone 14 balls, may be illegal text.

Mahir Cave if it needs holding your off to a bad start.

said said Why are you so racist?

PepsimanOnDrugs you offend me

Mahir Cave *Takes beer and hand the balls*

Are you still active?

D GamerTv same lol🤣😂

Same

And 6:20

Emas

Lmao

Yeah he can definitely BEAT them to death

*blushes*

I can't even do 3 lol

I can juggle 2

I can 1

I cant do 3

I can't even do none

Wait... what

1 balls almost as hard as 15.....Checkout contact juggling :-)

You have the potential to go for 3. You already have two of them in place. Just add one and you're golden. Good luck my friend 🙏

That's alot of ti- I mean balls

XD Im Dying

Can i open them yet. I am hoping i am typing thid correctly

I respect you.

Davi Direct ikr lmao

Fascinating how your brain is wired that you instantly think of their figurative meaning.

Most guys probably flashed 2 balls before

bbd

Juggling means that you do the same number of catches per ball as you have hands, so each ball makes a full run. So for two handed juggling, it's twice the number of balls as hands - 10 catches for 5 balls, 12 catches for 6 balls, etc. Flashing just means that each ball goes up once and comes down once, so 5 catches for 5 balls, 6 catches for 6 balls, etc.

yeah you’re definitely not an experienced juggler. 15 would still be insanely easier than 16 theoretically. also 12 ball world record was accomplished with the balls crossing “wimpy” pattern

I can't do one :/

Vi Con i cant even do a half ;-;

I can do 0 :)

Dorupero I can do -1

I can do -42069

Dale Kellegrew this is the most useless tip ive seen, i can easily juggle 9 balls and my limit is 12

'fink'

Alexis Stansfield how

Since nobody wants to answer, I can tell you that it would probably be easier to skip 15 and go straight to 16. However, it is ridiculously tough to catch synchronous balls (I know because I can juggle 6). So, though throwing 16 balls would be easier, catching 15 balls is substantially easier. At the end of the day, it will probably be 16 balls first thought because it is easier to have a fluke catch than a fluke throw haha

Alex was able to juggle 13 balls way before he did 14. I dont see how someone who can juggle up to 6 balls could possibly think that 16 will be easier in any way shape or form than 15, you are misinforming the original commenter of this thread lol

Also if synch throws are so "easy" why did Alex first do 14 balls asynch instead of throwing them in pairs? In most cases asynch is easier than synch. Synch is more of an exercise that makes the balls easier to track when you're first calibrating how you need to throw the balls. But when you're actually going for the records asynch saves you way more energy.

Bottom line: 16 will NOT be done before 15, anyone who thinks otherwise has no idea what they're talking about. You have to juggle 8 balls with each hand, with both hands at the same time to do 16! 8 balls is already considered a high number with TWO hands let alone ONE. If you think that 16 will be easier than a 15 just because you can throw then in pairs you must not known much about juggling.

George Lagoon i'm dead😂

This comment needs to be top ASAP

this

juggling really develops your peripheral vision. It also makes you more ambidextrous and increases cross-hemisphereal connections in your brain

Chodda with enough practice it's only natural

I can read a book while juggling three. (If the print is large enough and it's placed in front of me) Maybe 4 as well.

Not too hard. Six is the start of mandatory head-lifting.

Jordan Noyola I wouldn’t see why he wouldn’t since he’s a professional juggler....

I am even now

**I’m watching* or *watched* Maybe you should have studied instead of watching this.

@@dept-7443 don't you do that

If you had spent as much time running as he had juggling balls, then you would probably also be fit

Kevin Flores you don't have to do nothing , including eating. Don't eat don't get weight.

Try joggling.

Alex has been fit his entire life, I think he even was in the national rowing team of the UK when he was younger not a 100% sure though.

JOGGLING, YES!

Jonathan Bieß IKR so stupid.

Yeah he can throw them in pairs

Uhhhh... Because 16 is harder than 14?

I was about to comment about you!

Luv u josh

Why're ur hands up?

lol I just commented I want to see Josh Horton react to this video and I scroll down to see you react to this video

WHY HASN'T ANYBODY EVER THOUGHT OF THIS???

Juggling Isaac because it’s crazy hard

I think Jorden Moir has done 8 balls this way (five in the hands and three on the feet) but it's absurdly hard.

Not to mention your tongue! You MUST involve your mouth just like the greenhaired dude in onepiece.

You mean Zoro?

Actually the video was under 15 min.

ماجد الشمري Keyword almost

Joyson Wildhart great grammar

ماجد الشمري that's why he said almost impossible

Joyson Wildhart almost impossible 🙈

Maniac50AE yes they focus on the zenith, not on their sides. But that's the point of peripheral vision, they still see the other balls falling in order to have that 'feel' of where they land as you said. And a way to have a better feel of this would be to have a better peripheral vision.

Maniac50AE yes I might be wrong, but still he says "even though you're not looking at one ball in particular your subconscious is still taking in where they all are in the sky and where they're coming down" at 4:18 I don't know about you, but for me that's peripheral vision. But I might be wrong, and I'm no juggler so I don't know after all.

It's a sub conscious vision. I can only juggle three, (I've never even attempted a higher number) but i just look at the arcs of the balls, and you kind of just know where they are going to fall. You don't watch the balls as you catch them. You can't move your eyes fast enough to watch every ball make it's full rotation. So you watch somewhere towards the top, then as one falls, you position your hand to where that ball will be. Then once your hand is ready for that catch, you watch for the next ball to fall, and you position your second hand while the first ball just falls into your first hand without having to think about it. With three balls, you could just use peripheral vision because it's not too many to juggle, but when you have 14 like this guy, peripheral vision isn't going to cut it. You kind of just have to know where to put your hands, then have faith that you know what you're doing. You'd be surprised at how well you can catch a ball without looking if you see where the ball is before it leaves your field of view.

The peripheral vision is the lesser part of juggling but if you are at this level at any sport then every aspect of your technique should be perfect and pushed to it's limit
