Short MSN news item on the SJC2008. Thankfully they let a juggler do the talking, so no cheesy comments from a reporter this time.

Trip The Switch, Ian Deady and Gerardo Martin Martel went to Lugansk in the Ukraine, survived the vodka and got to perform at the Future of Circus Festival and win a prize which we were told was Jury Special Prize. We couldn't read it, it's written in Cyrillic. But lovely decrepit cheesy permanent Brehznev era circus building.

The charismatic Mat Plendl with his high energy hula hoop routine on the Paul Daniels Show in 1988. Cheesy, but in a good way... Matt won US National Hula Hoop champion at the age of 13.

Stalling fishtails is a nice way to go into other moves and can be the saving grace when you cock them up. If the staff starts sliding off your hand go into a stall and strike some cheesy pose (everybody loves cheese) and then just carry on. Throws are quite nice from stalls but you can also go into a halo roll or many varients thereof
