It's how it happened. Mills Mess made it clear how hard it was to write down anything, so we started from scratch to invent a notation. We simplified things to start with, saying "Let's not allow the hands to move about" (thus eliminating Mills Mess initially) and "Let's keep the timing fixed", and so on. Thus SiteSwap was born.

There is a similar notation for restricted types of hand movements called "MMSTD", and there is a general, unrestricted notation called "BeatMap". Not sure how much either have caught on amongst juggers in general, but certainly SiteSwap is well-known in the juggling population. Loved by some, hated by some, understood by some, it's an interesting mix.

With regards the "Chris Bliss Diss" video, note that the soundtrack - including applause and gasps - is from the original video. Jason recorded his "Diss" video in a gym without an audience. It's also not a single take. Not to take away from the incredible juggling - it's stunning. I just wish he had done something for himself, and not this diss.

Stunning juggling - is it you? Or something you found?

Just found it I'm afraid, Mill's mess with 5 no siteswap was about as far as I got.
