Seoul Korea has produced a unique series of web-shorts featuring talented local artists. I really enjoy this balancing video, but the boomerang guy is cool too.

Mariya Rachickaya – Hand balancing with contact juggling

Tuesday, November 8th, 2011

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.

Jotti – Contact Juggling

Sorry, my Russian (?) isn’t good enough to tell you more than the auto translate of the youtube caption:

This magical video from me, February 2, 2010 at Sur la Mayor in Mordzhime / GOA to address a French yoga Cristiano (Jotti). For a whole year like his mount, but realized that the effect it will disappear presence, so watch the 12 minute speech, shot and one shot without any editing! Sincerely, Oleg Floppy.

A unique and individual style combining yoga with contact. It’s 12 minutes long, if it’s too long for you skip to 9:00 minutes for a nice bit of magic :)

This is one of my favourite videos on MoM. Filmed as part of the channel Four programme, Concrete Circus, this is absolute skill on a bicycle, beautifully filmed and edited. It is simply not possible to ride a bicycle along a steel cable. WOW, Respect. (Follow the link, and you may be able to watch the whole of the concrete circus show if you missed it first time.)

Acrobatics, parkour, dance, movement and Roue Cyr.

Friday, September 2nd, 2011

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

YouTube Preview Image

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. :D 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
