Dear WW: I remember seeing TV nature programs with antelopes popping until their hooves were as high as the top of their back had been. I don't remember seeing them crouch down, just suddenly they were a yard or more off the ground, with legs straight. Remarkable. I tot I taw a cheetaw.

bill, there's a guy who writes about juggling who teaches that it's done by "popping" the balls from the palms of your hands without actually moving the arms. he appears to be sort of hippy-dippy.
(I wonder if there'd be any interest in a juggling seminar at WaP....)

Dear tsuwm: I enjoy watching juggling, but never got so I could keep three tennis balls in motion. Just one more skill I could never acquire. Among so many. They laughed when I sat down at the piano, and then laughed louder still. I'm sure a juggling act would enliven the party you refer to. Bill

It used to be said that those who can, do. Those who can't, teach. I'm sure you are being modest.

So, are we suggesting here, as we toss a few balls into the air and juggle 'em around, that stotting is a form of juggling? That seems quite a leap, especially, most especially for tsuwm.
If stotting were like juggling with its springboard from the hand, then Mother Earth must be doing so bodacious undulating there no geologist has ever noted.

nope -- the connection was the visual "popping"; in neither case do I believe that there is really no "preparation".
