Umm ... I broke mine 
I was doing a routine for a show at Cambridge Community Circus. I was basically monkeying around with them, running to-and-fro, havning a blast. Unfortunately I was wearing socks on a slippery floor and BAM I fell *onto* one of them, forcing a great big filthy crack into one, near the shaft. Man that hurt, my kidney and my ego!
But a bit of sellotape later, and they're still going strong

Ahh that sucks Aran. Maybe I could take a look at them for you. I'll do a free fix job if you want, but i'll have to take a look at them first.

Got mine today!!
Man they're hard to keep in a straight plane.
All the simple staff moves seem really weird.
Can't wait to get better at it.

I used mine in a cabaret glow-spinning show, and found that putting talcum powder on my hands beforehand really help the buugeng move inside my palms. Plus I smelt like a baby
Amusing names that my friends have called them ... boogies, boogers, buggers! I like to call my yellow buugeng my bananas though

Yeah, lost of people have picked them up and asked me if they're boomerangs... and I have quickly retrieved them from their graps before they have an opportunity to find out.

To me it's an influential video, simply by being so early in the evolution of 'freestyle' staff.

I love that vid. It's what influenced us as well.
But then I think Michael Moschen has, for us at PM, offered the most influence in object manipulation.
Thanks Bender.

I think, it's quite simple, Dai's buugeng origin = Dai Murata.

Don't understand what you're referring to, Richee.
I might understand the origins of Dai's Buugeng better. Sweet design, sweet transformation of a Curved staff.
Good job, well done, Dai

To the best of my knowledge, Michael Moschen was the first to really bring the s-staves to the object manipulation stage. If this is true, knowing Moschen, he's going to be pissed when he finds out somebody else has started popularising and teaching it. lol.
Bender, please buy some...

hehe - played with some at the solstice party on the weekend - very tricky to keep straight, but really really nice to work with once you can keep em (a bit) straight plus there are a lot of very interesting moves possible too.
watchout for your eyes! - I can see that that might be a big issue with these things given how easily they slip around in your hands if you arent used to them.

awesome - i get a little more breathlessly excited when I hear about more impressions on this groovydelica toy! did u use the big buugengs, josh?
you're one of the taller short staff performers and you have a very inventive approach - if the universe were kind enough, we'll have a buugeng jam at Common Ground '08.
There will be great win.

mmm to be quite honest I wasnt that interested in them until I played with them so I didnt even know they came in two sizes! I thought it was just another gimmic spin on short doubles, but actually now I think they are only slightly related, and there are a lot of tricks possible with the openning closing-ness of them, as well as holding off-centre. The ones I used were about 1 metre across the longest length. The way they wrap around body parts is really interesting too. hmmm...I cant seem to find them in the HOP shop tho?
