Paper manipulation from Sigmoga at Quebec circus school.
Such a simple idea, brilliant exploration and Innovation.
~0:30 sec is one of those great moments that make you say: “Huh, what!! Rewind.”
It would be great to see an act come from this.

Featured twice before on the Ministry, Damien Walters ~~will need 2 hip replacements by the age of 40~~, seems to have the ability to defy gravity. This years showreel has more incredible freerunning, Gymnastics and stunts.

WoW, here at MoM HQ, we though we’d seen Multiball Contact Juggling, until this arrived in our inbox this morning.
Absolutely unbelievable – this is just brilliant, highlights at 0:47 and 3:05, and and hold out to the end for an awesome way into 8 ball palmspinning.
We cannot find out anything more about Mariya Rachickaya online, perhaps one of our Russia readers can point us to her professional webpage.
Bravo.

I do love a giant post of really awesome acro videos. So here is one:

Alex Lane, doing epic Roue Cyr, new tricks, great movement. Looks like he went to the big Montreal circus school. Youtube Alex Lane

Rubberlegz keeps pushing what he’s up to, so I love him. Not convinced by drainpipe jeans but clearly he needs the clearance. Youtube Rubberlegz

Alliance Russian Parkour ‘Crew’ / ‘Team’. Looks a little bit like they are destroying their bodies, but they’re young, slightly crazy and doing huge tricks, doubles anywhere and everywhere. Youtube Alliance

Johan Bichot. Crazy cute and elegant acrobatics. Really different and really nice mood. Nice hat too. Youtube Johan

Peter Jasko – I found this video and was super awed by it. This guy is an amazing dancer, doing some super interesting stuff that I can’t describe very well. Watch it and see. Youtube PJ

A skating film made for the Channel Four tv show “Concrete Circus” featuring in this short film, Kilian Martin from Spain. Kilian is a skater who skates like Rodney Mullen, whom I love more than pretty much anything. Listen to Mullen’s life advice: Mullen Youtube

The pool scene is particularly awesome. I am totally a sucker for real slow motion.

Abbas Farid is a British Football Freestyler who’s won competitions and awards and that sort of thing, check out his website here: Abbasfarid.com for lots of info about that.

He does ace body rolling obviously, and integrates foot juggling, acrobatics and some amazing ball control that I’ve never seen before. He’s a bit good in other words.

A promo for a circus full of lumberjacks, er sorry, Canadians. All the guys have at least a level 4 beard and in general it’s awesome. It features much silliness and quite a few hardcore circus skills.
