Hi everybody 
after acrylic party in bruxelles, I’ve studied a little these “Moogeng”. They are acrylic made S sticks, quite similar to Buugeng.
this is a little vid of me training with them. Sorry if I’m not so clean, but they very hard to use in my opinion and I haven’t studied them so much.
hope you like it
hugs from italy
last (inspiring) research with hoop and stick isolations by Nicolas Longuechaud.
Very nice work!
thanks to Sa for the link 
Sa is an italian poi manipulator. He’s 20 and started his juggling path all alone only 3 years ago; after meeting Ronan he has decided to study and find new poi and contact manipulation forms. He lives in Milan.
This is his youtube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/Santiagopoi

Glad to see more researchers with poi.
A kick-ass ring routine from Riccardo Tanca, loaded with neat tricks, funky variations and a crowd that loves it!
If you like rings, I suggest you dig through his profile. “Riky” has unique stuff and is showcasing some really good research. Some more of my favorite ring concepts are below.

What contempory circus would be if you had a dream of it and your dreams were extremely creative.
But wait, there’s going to be more: “James Thiérrée’s fourth full-length creation, Raoul (a theatre piece blending contemporary circus, movement, music and poetry) was co-commissioned by the Barbican Centre and will make its debut in London in October 2009.”
Damn you londoners.
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’m clearing out my e-mails (for the last 2 years!):
Kentaro Kobayashi Paddle and video – Genius. Thanks to Pich for the link.
Kim Buchler Posted photos of the MoM workshop last April in the Katakomben. Yay. Jeanine, Kelvin, Ed, MCP and maybe you!
I was reminded how much I like the 2nd half of Woutraub Raum after 3:19.
All that Music – Christof Buch Club Juggling, thanks to Tommy.
Loads of other great videos over on Suggest a link: Thanks to You lot!
This is mad new style hooping, of yes, awesome. Not quite sure of the name of the girl yet, apart from Jane, been trying to find out if she was supposed to be at the Sydney Juggling Convention.
Anyway, she does mad awesome hooping on a pole, so that you get the low space underneath you, she uses that to great effect, makes the pole do hoop, does pancakes and beautiful juggling transitions and owns some of the old style Bob Branson hoop rolling… Epic, watch it.
The recent commercial availability of Buugeng (curved staffs) has lead to an explosion of new performances and styles with this unique prop. (above performer: Dai)
The first time I had seen this kind of manipulation was in “Michael Moshen, In Motion” (video of his act below) but a google seach on “buugeng” reveals almost no history? No wikipedia page? I’m curious about the roots of this discipline, anyone who knows anything more should respond in the comments.

Wes Peden and Patrik Elmnert performing a club juggling duet for the King and Queen of Sweden. (Link Via StreetJuggling.com)
As a juggler, I love this video. I’ve spent a lot of times on forums and in closed circles of jugglers, exchanging tricks and concepts for one another. Often these tricks are abstract and conceptual; weird variations on neat techniques and things that ‘other jugglers would find interesting because they understand this stuff.’ Youtube is full of awesome juggling ideas and discussions between jugglers. And there is such an excitement that comes from these moments of innovation and discovery when a new technique is explored. This video is full of neat stuff like that.
But Wes and Patrik are sharing that excitement and love for funky weird juggling with everybody, not just other jugglers. When Wes throws that ass-wrap pass at 0:39, I can’t help but think “Does that royalty guy picking his nose really know how insane that pass is?”
But you know what? I think he does. Watch the faces of the crowd. The experience of watching this intricate dance of clubs being exchanged between the jugglers is full of these moments of ‘omg what a neat idea’, which is why the experience of the piece is so enlightening, the dance is so unique and marvelous. And flawless!
Good job Wes and Patrik. You make the juggling that everybody likes. After that last amazing wine-bottle-trio video, you guys are fast becoming the classiest jugglers on the planet.
With a lit up table, sand, and her hands she produces portraits and tells a story that bring some of the audience to tears.
New show! New video goodness! New cool manipulation with arms! New win! New video love!
