Best Catches — Week of 30 Aug. ‘09

September 7th, 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.

:: If you haven’t crapped your pants by 2:40 in this video, please make sure your diaper is properly fastened at that point, because that’s when Ameron Rosvall goes really nuts. “Journey to the End of the Night,” is so good it made Wes scream in his bed. Don’t doubt it: there are never-before-seen body throws and combinations in this mostly three-club video.

:: Rueben’s routine is sweet. As he becomes more crisp and clear and discernible, his stuff will look so good. He also has a surprisingly so-so squeeze catch video out.

:: Maelle Vie is like the Missy Elliott of club swinging. I mean that wholly as a compliment. Thanks to the Ministry guys for linking us to her new video “Yesterday Didn’t Happen.” The sequence starting around 3:20 was really nice, among an overall fatiguing amount of awesomeness that left me thinking little more than Wow, it’s breezy out there.

:: Nathan Rae’s new video, “Juggling For Nelson,” is one of his most captivating. Also of note, he has written about cameras to be used for filming juggling.

:: Watch this EJC 2009 in Vitoria video, at least for the first two minutes of hat manipulation (and maybe for nothing more).

:: Most epic juggling video moment in recent history: See 1:17.

:: The Morning News, of Arkansas, featured their local jugglers.
