La Vache Qui Rit
"La Vache Qui Rit" is a three person pattern based on a 3 person PPS feed in which everyone feeds everyone else. All passes are done straight.
La Vache Qui Rit
The pattern can be color coded, the svg images show the throws color coded.
General throw sequence for everyone:
A 1|2 Pb Sa za Pb Sa Pc B 1|2 zb Pc Sb Pa Pc Sb C 1|1 Sc Pb Pa Sc zc Pa
Jugglinglab pattern:

Color coding:
outside pass: orange
self: grey
zip+inside pass: green
For the start shown here, A starts on beat one, B on beat 2 and C on beat 3.
club1, club2, club3 are the clubs as thrown in order at the beginning.
A starts on beat one with two clubs in the right hand: club1=orange, club3=green and a club2=white club in the left hand
B starts on beat two with an inside pass with club1=green in the left hand followed by a self with club2=grey from the right hand and an outside pass from the right with club3=orange.
C starts on beat three with a pass with club1=orange, a self with clubs=grey from the left hand.
Causal Diagram of the throws of each juggler with all throws color coded as described:
The causal diagram doesn't show how all clubs retain their color in the color coding - for that we would need a siteswap diagram as shown here:
Here now arrows follow the way of each object through the pattern and hence all throw-->throw stay the same (although the longer arrows make it much harder to read the diagram in general)
Related Patterns
La Vache Qui Rit is based on a kind of PPS feed in which everyone feeds the two others. This made me think up additional patterns and write down some known patterns like the PPS feed and the PPS triangle. I haven't juggled most of those yet, so I will include them on this page for now until each of the pattern gets its own page:
