My name is Rob and this is my entry the the fourth annual video tutorial...
...contest 2003. And I'm going to be showing you how to
The stomp!
With juggling balls...
...and the diabolo
The history, I have mostly seen this in one ball manipulation patterns but...
...very rarely in a cascade or fountain
But be warned, never do it in a contact juggling routine as it looks really...
...strange and wrong. So how do we do the trick then?
step one
Throw one ball from one hand to the same hand...
...this is known as a siteswap 4 throw
Step 2: throw a siteswap 4 (or any other even numbered siteswap) and then stomp your...
...foot on the ground
This will help you with your timing
Step 3: keep the ball in your hand then with your dominant foot (in my case it is my...
...right foot) over the ball, then drop the ball down and stomp your foot down on top of it
This is not a step,
this is an exercise
with your dominant foot
Lift it up
to the center
and then stop
Practice this a few times
Then try it quickly
This is the main movement of the stomp. Step 4: throw a siteswap 4 then...
... Join the last few steps together
to do the stomp
Step 5: throw a ball vertically in the air then
Catch the same ball in the same hand, while throwing the other ball to keep...
...the cascade...
...going, this will help you with the main throw
Step 6: do the throw from step 4 then the stomp from step 4 and join them...
...together
you have now done the stomp with balls
You can also do it with 2 balls again throw one ball higher and then...
Stomp it
can you see the difference between doing the stomp with balls and with the diabolo?
Well you have to stomp in the opposite direction to the spin...
...making it harder. So how do we do the trick then?
Step 1:
Do open orbits side on and facing away from the spin. If you are right handed...
...face to the left. Step 2: carry on with the open orbits but when the diabolo goes in the air...
...lift your foot and when you catch it again stomp your foot. Step 3: throw the diabolo on to...
...the floor and try and make it bounce in to your leg
Step 4: turn to the left and place the diabolo on the floor
and practice the stomp
make sure your toes go on the floor and make sure your heel is in the centre of the axle
Step 5: join all of the previous steps together and you have done the stomp
remember if you don't get the stomp exactly square it may turn but this is fine
2 diabolos are very difficult so your going to have to practice a lot. These are just going...
...to be tips I'm not going to breaking this in to steps as it is very similar to...
...just the one diabolo
so how do you do the trick then?
not looked at these two men
keep shuffled i think that they still
not to keep your bio anyone would want to be at least before outside of...
...the shuffle
Remember to stomp away from the spin, just like in the last section
