The long zap-zap-zip 56252
← Back to Selfs and Zaps ←
This pattern has the zap-zap-zip sequence but is two beats longer and is extended by a "zip,self".
As such, it does have a known part, but the bit where you throw a zap after/underneath a self makes it much harder than zap-zap-zip.
Color-coding: the zaps are magic: use clubs of different color for the zap and that club will only do zaps in this pattern (and in consequence you will also keep the same club for selfs and zips)
Pre-requisite Patterns
- zap zap zip
- cross-check with Breakfast at Tiffany's 56662, the simple version with holds is maybe/probably easier
Pre-Pattern Training Exercise
B has two clubs, A has one differently-colored club - the zap.
Maybe also do a pre-exercise similar to the one of Breakfast at Tiffany's 56662:
Juggler A doesn't really juggle and just throws the first zap to B so B can react on the incoming zap with "self, zap, zap".
Repeat for both jugglers (note that one juggler will need to throw crossing zaps, the other will need to throw straight zaps)
Continue on when you think both can handle the kind of zaps they get from B.
Pattern Description
Sequence: A begins and throws diagonal zaps, B throws straight zaps. Each juggler has one club in each hand.
A 1|1: zap, zip, zip, self, zap, ... B 1|1: self, zap, zap, zip, zip, ...
Additional Things to Do
- As usual, you can do the zip behind your back
Similar Patterns
You can replace the sequence "zip,zip" with "pass, pass" and get 56757 with two more clubs. This pattern can be seen as a much easier trainings pattern that.
