Two friends of mine went to Kiev to train juggling with the crazy kids there. I talked to one of them (Petter) the other day and he said that they would be posting a video of some stuff they had been doing there along with some of what the ukranian guys are working on.

HOLY SHIT! I got so excited watching this! I’m not going to spoil the surprises for you but it’s an amazing video with incredible  technique and super new one ball and three ring work by the swedish representatives.

Make sure you check out Petters other video and subscribe to his account. He’s one of the coolest smartest jugglers I know and for sure someone to keep an eye on if you like awesome things.

Oh yeah, I have to not make jokes about big balls. Ok, so this is a girl doing three of those large gym balls, the squishy ones, that you supposedly use to build up your core strength, but you actually just roll around on. This I assume Russian Ukrainian, has made a whole act out of rolling around on them, in a graceful way. There’s also some ball spinning, behind the head rolls, antipodism, and acrobatics with the big balls.

It’s always nice to see new props being used with innovative manipulation.

i was chatting on facebook with one of my friends and we were trying to figure out if this finnish girl liked me or not. i happened to go to youtube while we were talking and saw this pop up in my subscriptions!!! boom! one of the few things prioritizes over my interest in finnish trapeze girls is japanese juggling boys!

If that’s not enough, then there’s the Fiat Lux (see video at bottom of page), showing that balls don’t even need contact jugglers to make them look like they are floating…

This remote controlled bowling ball brings us all one step close to the point when we no longer need to practice. Muhahahahahaaaaaa!
