    Following the “Sh*t X say” meme, this Tongue in cheek video is poking fun at Spinners, from the Vulcan crew of…err spinners.
    Brilliant.
    “Do it again, only less sh*t.”
    We’ll add: “Faster with less control.” “Do you know G?”, “Can you do that Anti-spin?” is the new, “Can you do that isolated?” is the new, “Can you do that BTB?”
    So who is going to make “Sh*t contact jugglers say?”

    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.
