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?”

Whaaaaa! Super nice style, super nice devilsticking. I don’t know much about devilstick, but I like what I see!

Tomas Di Tomaso has made this beautiful video. I said some otherstuff that wasn’t true before. I got things wrong. But Drew is decorating his bathroom so I guess I can do what I like. Ha ha!

Tomas is from Argentina, and has a website here: Tomasditomaso.com.ar (edited to update url)

Annetta Lucero, is there a better baton twirler? I don’t think so.

Valerie sent me this video. Josh, Valerie and Antti playing with heavy sticks.

I love the staff spinning ideas coming out of these guys. Valerie was also at the infamous berlin workshops, and I can see a massive change in her stylin’. Love it.

Trailer for my double staff DVD. Feel a bit weird about posting it here but Ryan let me so I hope it’s okay.

A french guy goes to Brussels and films some awesome contact staff and this is the result. Giant bunch of win. Good to see the monkey style and Rodney Mullen style moves coming into contact staff there…. Also very nice to see tricks done well with body awareness. Win.

We’ve been rather quiet about the European Juggling Convention this year because we’re sad not to be at our favorite juggling and manipulation festival. This year, it has a live stream , by Nathan Rae EJC live: Where the European Juggling Convention comes to you.
For me it’s generally stuttering too much to be watchable, pausing every 3 seconds to buffer But I’ll keep trying.
Last night featured Kelvin doing his thing with 1 and 2 acrylics in the open stage, which was amazing.

If there’s nothing live at the moment, there are a bunch of recorded highlights you can watch, my favorite is:

Be sure to stay to the end of the clip for a great ending!
[Edit: updated with Youtube link, cos ustream doesn't work so well: thanks Divus]

Video made by Luminous Fractal (how cool is that. He should have been on stage!!)

Good stuff all around, some great manipulators on stage in this teaser clip from the 2010 Madskillz Gala show.
