    Chappy - good start. I liked how you kept things moving and tried different samples/techniques throughout the routine so it wasn't too repetitive. Technique-wise it was still a bit sloppy, so I'd focus on drilling your basic techniques for a while and get them tightened up. It seems like you're relying a bit much on crabs with your scratching instead of more foundation/controlled scratches. Crabs should sort just be like an extra spice, but not really your main technique. Practice stabs and chirps, get them clean and fast and it'll help your overall scratching A LOT. With the juggling just make sure on your looping you're not hearing any of the back spin at all, and dropping it exactly on beat. Get looping down then worry about more patterns later.

    I'd also say instead of trying to make a 5 minute long routine with everything, try to focus on making shorter routines focusing on just scratching for a whole routine, or just beat juggling for a whole routine. It's really hard to make a long routine that's good quality for just about anyone, and especially when you're still beginning it's better to focus on quality over quantity. Doing like a 1 minute scratch routine and making sure it's quality from start to finish, or a 1 minute beat juggle that's good straight through, rather than 5 minute that has some filler and stuff in it. Keep it up!
