multi-person patterns from 4 handed siteswaps
Not a new idea, but maybe not as well known as it should be. You can easily create multi-person passing patterns from your favourite four handed siteswaps. Well known examples are 10 club 3 count and the similar 10 club 3 person version of french 3 count. These are both period 3 siteswaps for two people (966 and 867), which is why they become 3 person patterns. Take a period 5 siteswap and it can be used to generate a 5 person pattern. Here's a 14 club pattern made from why not?
The second juggler starts with 2 clubs and the fourth juggler has a slightly different start.
and here's a 17 club pattern made from 5 count popcorn:

Introduce Yourself
I've seen this kind of post in the diabolo.ca forum, and felt it could be a good idea so that we could get to know each others a little better.
Feel free to say what you want about yourself.

Some new three-person patterns from IJA
Hi passers,
I just got back from IJA in Portland and learned lots of neat new patterns. At the risk of making this post 10 pages long I'll pick a few neat ones... hopefully some of these are new to you!!
9 club Racoon Feed
Feeder's sequence is inside simul, RH tramline (RH to the LH of person to my left), inside simul, LH tramline. All of FF's passes go to the feedees' inside hands, i.e. the lefthand person's LH and the righthand person's RH. The lefthand feedee (from FF's perspective) does PSPSSS righthanded, and the other person does PSPSSS lefthanded, starting with their second pass.
Shamrock (5 clubs, 3 people)
This pattern is strange because all passes are either zaps (short pass with ˝ a spin, or 2.5p) or handacrosses (1p). You need to stand close enough to hand a club between your outside hands. A starts with 3 clubs, 2 in their RH, and B and C each start with a club in their RH. The club starting in C's RH is the “satellite”; it is handed around the outside of the pattern (preferably over each person's head). It can be a different colour for extra effect. This is the sequence:
Edit: that last Variation should say "under the leg" not "under the left" :)
Also, you'll notice that when you are B you have a long time with just one club in your RH; use the opportunity to flourish it.
Quantum 1-count Triangle
You do a normal 9-club 1-count triangle on outsides (it won't work on insides) and one person (or two) delay 1 beat before starting. That person and one other will have to do simuls (throw two passes at once) - that's why it won't work on inside passes :)
OK I learned lots more but I'll leave it at that....
Happy passing!!

EJC Feedback
EJC was really great.
I've done a lot of passing there, and discovered new patterns.
Thanks Will for doing Long Beach Porpcorn with me and trying Svendborg Popcorn (554p4p33), which was a bit challenging.
Thanks Rhonda for 8 PPS (4hSS: 979744) and the other stuff.
Thank you Luke for you infinite patience teaching everybody your patterns from Madison. You must have done them hundreds of time already.
Thanks Mandy super-catcher for a few feeds, and showing me 6789a (challenging as well).
Thanks Jonas for super floaty passing and a few great runs of 9 1-count.
It was great to see all the Autralian crew again and meeting Liz, I was not expecting it. Also great was finding Dave to be there, my English passing buddy from Sydney (3 years ago already).
Still lots of people I should have passed with but haven't. It's gonna have to wait for the next one. At least and at last, I met Aidan this time :-)
I think I've forgotten a few things and people, I 'll edit this when it comes back.

3-2-1-2 crossed / straight
At EJC I discovered 3-2-1-2: PSSPSPPS.
Today we tried some variations for 2 persons where one passes straight while the other passes crossed, like Jim's 3 count or Martin's PPS
We came to three possibilities:
1 - the more natural one is with a zip:
PSSPSPPZSPSSPSPPS for straight
PSSPSPPSPSSPSPPZS for crossed
2 - a harder one is when trying not to do the zip.
The tricky thing is on this S:
PSSPSPPSPSSPSPPS for straight
PSSPSPPSPSSPSPPS for crossed
you have to to it uncrossed, and keep your opposite hand free for one count. It's quite fast for the other hand.
3 - a workaround for this free hand problem:
PSSPSPSSPSSPSPxPS for straight
PSSPSPxPSPSSPSPPS for crossed
Px means pass crossed if passes are straight, and straight if passes are crossed.
