A lesson for all freestylers
« on: May 02, 2008, 09:43: PM »
I found this on the internet, and it's a PERFECT example of how harder (more difficult) does not always mean better

this is an amazing and entertaining juggling performance by Chris Bliss
http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=H8f8drk5Urw

people loved this video and it became popular on the internet
but some people in the juggling community were annoyed that he was getting so much credit for doing something they thought was 'easy'
so one guy (jason garfield) made this video:

its a very similar routine to the same music but with 5 balls
surely it looks more difficult, but i think almost anybody can say its 1000x more boring!!!


so the lesson is; sometimes people do hard tricks, but whats the point if they dont even look cool!!!

Fx blesses himself before a patw combo, Tiernan blesses himself before a neck to sole transition.... but hey thats next generation :rolleyes:
