gimme bouncing details plzz

[G_joker]

there a differents between a side-bounce and a hip-bounce? or are they the same?
and when doing a shoulder-bounce. where should the head of the non-held-botom hit your body first? could someone show/explain me how the shoulder bounce should be done exactly. cause if i do it, it kinda feels uncomfortable, and it would probebly hurt with wooden chux...

[Rellizate]

Ok, i've made a vid. I'll send on msn or something ok?

[Mr_Joe]

It's never the end of the stick that makes contact, that's just gonna hurt.  The first inch of the stick next to the chain or chord is the important bit.  In the diagram I've hopefully attached you'll see how the chuck lies in a bounce.  Try it with the chuck laid across your outheld arm like in the diagram.  Note that when you pull on the stick you're holding it'll 'flick' the other one up as the chord/chain comes taut.  There' very little energy transferred into your arm (or whatever else you're bouncing on) like this. 

As regards specifics for the shoulder bounce, I find it works best on the pad of muscle that joins your arm and shoulders, gives you a bit of padding if you misjudge it a little as well.  Most people would distinguish between side and hips bounces with side bounces being on the ribs under the armpit and hip bounces being (you guessed it) on the hip.

Bounces are subtle, and take a while to become second nature, work on getting them smooth, with as little force transferred to the body as possible.



EDIT: Now with added YouTube vid.

thx for the reply dude!
so the left part of the chuck is where you hold the chuck right?

[Rellizate]

Yes, that is correct.

[Exmortem]

Yup, the hand is placed at the left stick in the picture.
Nice picture joe, it should be clear now

[G_joker]

ok thx it's all clear to me now, and your video is funny joe

but with the triangle thing wild industrie is giving:
it looks like he's doing a side bounce, but he says it's a hip-bounce (it looks like he's landing the bounce on the soft part of his torso), which one is he doing, cause both works for me but i dunno which one is the best to do with the triangle thingie

If either one works then do what you feel.  That's the joy of freestyle, no set ways to do stuff

that diagram is basicly the same for any type of bounce.

I just call it a hip bounce because it's in the general area of the hip. I'm not exactly the most qualified to name the terms, explain the moves, etc. Heck, for all I know, I could be doing the bounces "wrong". I would agree with joe here - do whichever you prefer.

[G_joker]

hmmz ok, i think your doing them right since you don't lose alot of breath and they look flashy
do you need to give much power to move the chucks fast with triangle? cause i'm getting really tired after doing them fast a few times... and my stamina's quite good 

[Wild Industry]

Eh, I put power into it and I don't get tired. I'm not all that strong, either.

[Rellizate]

Just keep working on it, and your muscles with get stronger in the right places.

[Kriztov]

Hey Joe, nice diagram and video - thanks for the effort.
