Hey everybody, I'm new to this site and wanted to introduce myself.
I'm Scott and i live and work in bradford, yorkshire. I've been a bartender for 11 years and at the moment i'm head bartender for Gala Casino in bradford and also the hospitality staff rep for the north of england. i've just started learning to flair as the bars i've worked for over the years weren"t really flair friendly,but i have been juggling since the age of 8.
i've been with the casino for 4 years now and last month the company decided to go flair mad (they want to be the first uk casino chain to have all flair bars!) as my branch is the first within the company to have this encouragement, i'm the first to get the freedom to do as i please. So the GM went and bought 4 flair bottles handed them over and said crack on!
i've had the bottles for 2 weeks and got a couple of tricks nailed so far,
hand spin.
hand spin to back of hand to front again (spin bottle in hand, flip hand over so the bottle spins on back of hand then turn your hand to normal again, the bottle does 3 revs, 1 in palm,1 on back of hand,1 in palm again).
thumb roll (find that one tricky)
flip to pour.
back hand stall.
double,triple and quad flips to other hand.
same as above with tin.
i can also juggle with 3 tins flat.
and tonight at work i got behind the back flip to pour down a treat. 50 flips, 3 dropped.
tomorrow i'm gonna get behind back flip to backhand stall if i have to stay till we close(6am).
i hope to make a few friends here,learn a hell of a lot and generally feel the love.
