S**t UK Contact Jugglers Say – Friday Fun

March 30th, 2012

YouTube Preview Image
The British contact jugglers are humble folk, and don’t show off through video. Yet, Drew did a call out on his S**t Spinners Say post about how there needs to be a S**t Contact Jugglers say video. So, I hunted those punks down at Bristol’s Other Bristol convention, and grabbed any footage I could.  This is the proof that most of the people on MOM are in fact, not robots.

The Good Life (of a Juggler)

February 23rd, 2012
YouTube Preview Image

This video begins by showing a kendama battle; a group of kendama enthusiasts throwing a series of increasingly complex tricks in a backyard competition. The small crowd explodes with excitement when the winner throws his final move, they celebrate together as if this was THE main event of the year. As a viewer, it is a unique glimpse into a very small world.

This is a collection of those awesome moments that happen when you are in the company of amazing people (and the camera just happens to be pointing in the right direction at the right time) Kyle Johnson makes the best videos, and I think he understands what this ‘ministry’ thing is all about better than we do.

Also, Canada boxes :)

Sh*t Spinners Say

January 18th, 2012

YouTube Preview Image
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?”
