Best Catches — Week of 16 Aug. ‘09

August 24th, 2009 | Posted by tony

Best Catches is a sifter for the unplugged, the lazy, and the busy. It’s a weekly roundup of the freshest juggling videos, forum topics, and blog posts – in short, it does a lot of work so you don’t have to.

:: “Ohio” is the newest video edited by Wes Peden, featuring: “Teruki Okamoto, Yuri Yamamura, and Patrik Elmnert rocking out the modern juggling in Jay Gilligan’s back yard after the Shoebox Tour … The music is by Pogo and Errand boy.”

:: The forum lights up with talk about numbers juggling world records and how to keep track of them on Wikipedia. Almost in response, Sam Hartford posts a video of a 12-ring flash.

:: Wim posted a terrific EJC 2009 video from Vitoria, Spain. Highlights include two balls kept aloft with the head, quirky three-club and three-ball work, and some six- and seven-club runs. Good music too.

:: Anthony Gatto has a new video with big numbers runs.

:: Thom and Alan pass in their fourth vid, featuring some six-club passing novelties and impressive numbers dabbling.

:: Marcus Monroe wrangles an alligator. A juggler tosses atop the Matterhorn.

:: The New York Times features a “skinny German juggle boy.”
