So, anyone planning on heading to this? http://jay-linn.co.uk/lestival/index.html

Beatmonkey, you around in Leicester that weekend? Fancy popping along??

[Beatmonkey]

OHHH intresting. Unfortunatly I'm between leases at that time otherwise it would be a definite yes and I'd offer a floor to sleep on. As it is I'll have to see what mates are around etc

Just looked at the website tho and I know a few people doin workshops

[Slypsy]

Cool. Well i will almost certainly head over. Thanks for the offer of a floor if you had one, but i unlike on anything else i find it difficult to juggle successfully after too much beer so will be remaining below drinking and driving levels anyway.

[Beatmonkey]

Yea beer destorys all sensce or rthythm and cordination much quicker then anything else. I'll defo try and make it though, a day of toy playing is always welcome

[Slypsy]

cool. I'll post on here to confirm that i am definately going, but will be more surprised if i dont make it than if i do, and will be sure you look you up.

I hope it is sunny so that we can play with toys outside. Soo much more fun than playing indoors

[Beatmonkey]

Yea toys in the sunshine is a pretty much perfect way to spend a summer day.

Currently I'm working with rolling a contact ball on a box. Manipulateing the box so the ball is on differnt sides while keeping the ball as isolated as possible ftw! Combine it with doin butterflys useing only the box and arm rolls onto and off the box and you have an entire routine pretty much. I'm not all that smooth atm but its comeing

I wanna get some juggleing rigs as well, you can get some crazzzzzzy shit goin on with them and their cheaper then clubs which I'd like but can't quite jstify purchasein atm.

[Slypsy]

cool, the contact stuff with the box sounds cool. Would like to check that out. Isolations are a bit tricky aren't they. I find that if you don't do them for a little bit you regress almost back to square 1, unlike with most other tricks. They are well cool though so well worth the effort.

Yeah, i have seen some cool stuff with rings. If you are going to get some i really recommend trying to find some which are hollow, sort of 2 thin rings stuck together to make 1 slightly thicker ring. Rings fucking hurt when you catch them wrong, and i mean almost feel like you are going to break your finger type hurt, and this type, which a friend of mine has, hurt quite a lot less.

clubs are great though. Passing clubs is just soo much fun once you get the knack of it

[Beatmonkey]

Yea passing clubs looks fuckin wicked. Passing fire clubs doubley so. Is it that hard to pick up passing if all you can do is the three club cascade?

[Slypsy]

if you can do 3 club cascade well it is not that hard to pick up. can probably get it sussed and maybe a trick or two in an afternoon. It is very helpful if you can already do double spin self throws though. I think i can scrape 6 clubs together so will take them along and show you how to do it if you are up for it

[Beatmonkey]

I don't quite have the technique of thorwing the clubs yet, can prob do about 8-10 catchs of three club cascade when I'm lucky. I need to find some devilstickers to do devil stick passing with, a circle of 8 people passing devilsticks would be a total bitch to cordinate but wopuld look fuckin sweet.

[Slypsy]

sounds cool. I do a bit of devil stick. Dunno if i am good enough to do passing with it though, but am willing to give anything a go.

Yeah, passing in groups is wicked. I have been involved in 8 people passing 24 clubs before now. Is lots of fun when it works but when 1 person fucks up it all goes down hill very rapidly
