Salve!
i am 41 years joung and started 2 years ago to train regulary. I
balance since a year an Rola Bola and a walking Globe and want to
become a really good Performer.
I simply do it becouse i love to do it! : )
I train almost daily together with Jan Poolen in a
Gym in the Netherlands; Maastricht.
We also go to juggling conventions together and ofcours to the EJC.
My favorite Props are Poi and Clubs.
I just maneged the 4 clubs cascade and trying to make the first tricks.
I have studied Fine Art and Design and put my crativity into
the Juggling expearence and experiment.
Kind regards
Artur

Hello Artur,
Welcome. I saw that you have studied fine art and design, and though you might be interested in a project of mine. I have been working on an app that helps jugglers structure training sessions and record data (download link to Play store).
Here are a few screen shots: https://imgur.com/a/Qmf0c
How would you design an app for juggling training?
Hi Artur,
My youth circus does a lot of work with walking globe and we are always looking for new ideas to progress this skill. My son in particular is reaching the edge of our walking globe knowledge and I would be interested if you have different ideas about tricks with and on the globe.
Welcome abouard,
Nigel
From what I've encountered it's a pretty limited apparatus as to what you can actually do with it, as opposed to simply doing other skills on on it.
Seesaws and ramps seem to be the standard progression - I assume you've explored both of those. I've never seen anyone go down stairs on a globe - in theory if you can control a globe down a ramp, stairs should be feasible so long as the angle is not too steep. Dangerous though - you wouldn't want to attempt it without a safety harness.
As far as on it goes, anything you can do on the ground (in theory). Juggling & manipulation, obviously. Partner acrobatics and pyramids. Tumbling too - thought I remembered seeing backflips (back handsprings if you're American, or a gymnast), but I couldn't find them. I did find a back-somersault (backflip if you're American, or a gymnast), see below.
Don't remember ever seeing anyone walk it on their hands, but I'm guessing it has been done.
Here's a roundoff-backsault mount, a standing backsault on the globe, and an aerial cartwheel dismount, followed by 6 people on one globe going over a seesaw!

Here are a couple of 'comedy' acrobats with a globe. Nothing you haven't already seen, but there's some nice duo acro at the start, and the end trick is good:

Here's a very nice mount to 2-high on globe, followed by spinning of many balls while one-foot standing on head:

Last but not least, until your son has mastered the following, he still hasn't exhausted the possibilities:

Just a few of the things my son is working on at the moment:
Standing on 2 walking globes at the same time and skipping.
Juggling under the leg whilst on a walking globe.
Walking along a line of walking globes, turning round and walking back along that line.
Standing on a walking globe with 3 other people and then 4 other people (only possible now that we have a large globe 1.1m as the smaller globes don't provide enough foot space).
Spinning a globe, jumping on and maintaining the spin.
Mounting the globe in different ways
