I know this video is long but if you just hang in there and be patient it will pay off with some very interesting contemporary movements on and around a walking globe, as well as on the ground involving three balls.
(more…)
Kyle Johnson can roll a ball from his foot to his head like nobody’s business. He has a great eye for juggling and manipulation videos too, and so he is joining our crew here at M.o.M. and will be contributing videos alongside myself, Drew, Ed, Moon and MCP.
Kyle can also hold 9 balls up for an impressively long time… which makes us all feel a little insecure.
Welcome Kyle! glad you could join us!
Kyle Johnson: Previously on MoM
So, Wes Peden has emailed me a few times in the past telling me about videos that he thinks would make nice additions on MoM. And everytime he emails me, I try to contain my ridiculous fan-boy enthusiasm, usually responding with “ya that’s cool wes. I’ll think about posting it later. Gotta run; lunch is ready” before running off to do a little “OMG-OMG-Wes-Peden-emailed-ME!” dance and gushing to all my friends about how awesome Wes Peden is and how he makes the best new juggling videos.
But this time he caught me off guard. I watched the video first, and then saw the email from him suggesting i blog it. In my excitement, I wrote back to him and said a lot of very nice things. So there you go; now he knows that we are huge fans and will pretty much post anything he tells us to. I declare Wes Peden, Patrik Elmnert & Ron Beeri to be the coolest jugglers in the world (for the day, at least).
Dawn and I spent some time this summer busking at the lovely Vancouver Chinatown Night Market. Good people, good food and good contact juggling.
Lewie West, and I hope he used his real name there, contains a nugget of purest awesome. He tours with CIRCA and is part of the CIRCA ensemble and here in this video, he is training in the CIRCA space in Brisbane.
In this and his other videos, which you should also definately check out because they all contain extremely high levels of awesome and epic combined, he is doing a mixture of gymnastics, tricking, breakdance and floorwork which is both graceful and (at least to me) extremely creative.
Another video of heaps awesomeness: YouTube again.
I hope to get to meet him at the CIRCA space soon. I’m going to totally be unable to talk to him.
Thanks to Mark P for the link…
