Back to juggling!
Hey everyone!
Life's been good here in Russia. It looks like my arm's pretty close to healing at this point. I restarted practicing again 2 days ago. It's been interesting. I've only been juggling for 2 days after a 2 week break and it looks like my juggling's already almost back to where it'd been before the accident. My club and ball juggling skills still aren't 100% back, but my ring juggling is (probably because it was at such a low level that there wasn't that much to recover).
Anyway, I made a video of the recovery of my juggling skills after the accident. I didn't feel like spending that much time editing it, but it's got some cool, in my biased opinion, juggling. Enjoy.

Thanks for the vid. Awesome stuff. I liked the singles 360 to backcrosses a lot.

Vova, you're a little biotch!
You go and f*ck yourself in a car accident, then you come back and do all that schnit!
Nice ring juggling you got there, nice 3 club stuff, nice 9 balls, etc... the singles 5up into bxx was super awesome indeed. As was the KGB, ha.
Take it easy,
N

Vova, you are amazing. I'm glad to see you could started practising again so soon! I loved the 8 and 9 balls, the 7c 966 and wow! 5c backcrosses in singles?! Thanks for sharing :)

sick kills Vova, especialy from a weak away from juggling. I bet it was torture!
Keep up the ring juggling, I want to see more!

Nice moves liked the 9 ball run I remember mark's anouncement at WJF's during ball endurance "Vova doesn't own 9 balls" I really liked the single backcrosses and the ring stuff. I liked the guy in the background watching you intently as he was walking away doing the 5-4 pull down pull off

It's really cool to see you practicing in the same spots that you used to practice when you used to live in russia, that must be a pretty cool feeling. I liked the 9 balls run.

I just have a simple question concerning grip. I am learning 7 balls and use a strange ball configuration for my grip. I like things linear so I always hold 3 balls in a line. That method created a problem for holding 4. I put the last ball next to the top, making a Y pattern. Is this grip ever used?

I remember that spot from when you were just a little kid. By the way, you're my hero again. Thats a really inspiring healing process. You're just... insanely awesome.

Dear Vova,
I watched your video and I thought that little girl you were passing with was funny. You have a neat family. I will be arriving in Moscow on December 30 at 11 am. I will be there all day until my flight to Novosibirsk at 11 pm. Any chance you might be in Moscow?

Well, I wish my ring juggling was that bad. Great video!

"it's got some cool, in my biased opinion, juggling."
Anything that's cool in your opinion should be cool in everyone's opinion.

Bye Bye from Italy!

That's awesome that you're making such a speedy recovery. I know what its like to crash your car (and not hit anyone, or have anyone to blame but yourself).
I love the lady mopping the floor. =]

Hey Vova, which balls and size of them do you use?
