I just watched this DVD a 2 days ago and there is still a party in my head from it! there is super sick juggling in it with Erik doing a ring routine with a new technique that no one else in the work is using and genius/badass routines from Jay including the manipulation routine using 3 clubs with giant holes cut out through the centers!!!!…!!! think about how awesome that manipulation can be… it’s ever better than you’re thinking!!

i would like to write out every beautiful thing in the DVD but i want to leave some surprise. but uhhh… drills and spinning balls… ??? think about it think about it….

anyway i thought it was awesome and it has what i consider some really great ground breaking manipulation in it so i thought i would let you guys know about it.

here is what it says in the youtube info next to the trailers.

This guy has 4 stall points on the top of his head! As well as an interesting hairstyle… to accommodate stalls?

He also has that business of balancing a club on the top of his head.

another great video from faleondeestevan here with clubs.

New performance video released today of Stefan Sing. Watch the sequence he starts the three ball routine with. Very inspiring.

There is also a video called red tent that he just put out onto Youtube, which was previously only on his website. This video was the first one that I saw Stefan doing siteswaps which (not surprisingly) are very clean and lofty. Check em out.

Salsa Anyone?

YouTube Preview Image I want more of this! These kinds of movements are something that I would like to see with props… I don’t know how… or with what props… but I want to see them.

The tangled up parts not the traditional type dance parts.

Not so many kids kickin the blocks around these days but Eric has some fun new stuff and an ending trick that made me scream so loud Patrik stopped cutting potatoes to come see what happened.

Stefan Sing & Phillip Meyhoefer – juggling improvisation

Friday, January 1st, 2010

Juggling video hosted @ Juggling.tv

Improvised juggling by Stefan and Phillip, who know how to jam together better than anybody. If it isn’t playing at full-frame rate in the embedded player, then its worth the download from Juggling.tv (300mb .mov)

Posted for Tony Duncan, who has been cursing in the comments thread recently about the lack of juggling.
