    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.

    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?”

    Cute new vid from the french hoop isolationist Furet.  What are we calling these shapes now?

    After moving to a new area of Paris I decided to make a video out of it, using some of my stuff and research around my excentric circles.

    Après un déménagement dans un nouveau quartier de Paris, j’ai voulu que cela soit un point de départ pour une nouvelle vidéo, prétexte pour partager quelques unes de mes recherches avec mes cercles excentriques.

    Ah, ok. They are called excentric circles.
