I put this up last night before I went to bed. Me biting LTCs' vid. His is better though. I don't like mine this morning now i watched it. I keep trying to wave when I don't want that in there. By the end I think I figured out what to do insted. BOT!

Just forget about the first 45secs, first time i touched a ball all day, so it took that long to get even a little warmed up. Honestly its been a while since I cjed in a style like that. I'm thinking of taking it down in a week, when I make a cleaner one where I know what I'm doing in it what do you guys think?

EDIT:*** http://www.youtube.com/?v=W3KeQh97HQI ***(give it 15min for it to go through the check)

I put up different footage now. I hated the other footage way too much to leave it up. I think I managed to only do 1 arm wave this time... excuse the end where I get a bit lost in some tuts.

That was cool!! Isn't it hard not to Wave? I tried so hard to keep it outta there, but at one point I got carried away, then remembered what i was doing when the Wave got to my shoulder...

Hmmm... A new trend in .org Videos, methinks... Who else is gonna contribute an unedited vid of them playing, and trying their best not to wave?

Nice little Vid though, dude! There's a few things in there that I really like the look of...

S'funny, I have a problem with that too..
I actually don't like seeing me doing a wave while 'just holding the ball' but it's sooo difficult to stop.
Maybe Doc Contact is our only salvation..

From right now I'm banning myself from doing a trace around a plam circle. Sometimes I hate that in my latest practice vids....

I will fix this vid. Its too Long for a start. I could easily condence all the good bits down to half the time, tweek a few transitions, add in the couple of cool ones i forgot, NO WAVES!!!! close the curtains so I'm not tempted to look in the reflection and not be half asleep when making it. More botting

Nice video Colin. I thought your isolations were very smooth, waving or not.

Ok, sorta fixed the vid. Its nicer and makes more sense to me that the first one, except those cack tuts at the end. If I'm not waving its bloody tuts ain't it. atleast they could be more isolationist friendly if I actually hit them off correctly

Faaaresh! Really creative. Nice!
While I am critiquing a raw, bedroom iso vid, I have to point out that a lot of these kinds of vids are distracting to me because I feel like the manipulator is watching themselves in either a mirror or a monitor while doing the moves. I feel my brain going, hey that's nice but what's so interesting behind the camera that this guy is focusing on. It is dark around your eyes so I can't tell for sure if you're doing it and it may be that I'm so conditioned to pick up on it from the many vids made this way, but do you know what I mean? I'm much more entertained when the performer is either concentrating on the prop or decidedly concentrating on something else as a performance device-- like looking left as the ball moves right. Anyway, just an observation. Really sweet stuff, man. Thanks for posting that.

Do it just remember its all about being clean. Can't go wrong with clean iso's

I don't get these trend things though.......I know why you think that, however it is simply not the case. It has something to do with European contact or something...... Isolations have been a big part of contact juggling since day one anyway. And for the record I am a bodyroller . And as far as I know I'm the only one working out this tutting malarky with a ball. So how is that a trend?

really it all comes down to whether you get all your ideas about whats hot or not from just what is posted up on this site in the form of videos. And that will basicly be ALL euro contact. Or London influenced. The european crowd has released 6! videos this week, all of them are at a HIGH standard of skill. Tony Duncan is the last US vid I'd seen. Before that it was a ballguy and that twisthem vid and before that, shesh gotta be those older vids Greg has on his site. Make a good vid and shut me up please

Spehar- thanks man, means alot to actually have some critique, thats advice I give out myself, should really listen too it for a change
