British Juggling Convention 20th - 23rd April

Oh and hun, if you want the World Juggling day to get a bit more attention,give it its own thread in this forum!

Although there's a possibility there will be something else going on that weekend,although i'm personally trying to get said event for a month or so later!

cool

though world juggling day is a worlswide thing that takes place all over the planet on the same day..

many countries try something serious.

i prefer to chill in a beautiful field

Well still may be worth postin up your one on here!

LOST

Despite searching my house, my sisters house and asking Jon to search the boat it appears that I have lost my Hologram black and pink hyperloop poi. I'm gutted! The last time I remember seeing them was in Bodmin at the juggling convention. If anyone has them or has seen them please let me know. I'll be broken hearted if they don't show up

I'm glad i didnt see the 'no poi' sign because i probably would have chucked it in the bin. If a self professed juggler came to a falmouth meet they would never see a sign saying 'no juggling'. Maybe poi spinners/staff spinners are more open to diversity than jugglers.

Poi is just as difficult as juggling. I learnt the 3b cascade in about 5 minutes, i learnt the 3beat weave in about 10. Now, im learning juggling tricks a lot quicker than learning new poi moves. Is that because juggling tricks are easier and poi moves are harder? Probably not. Juggling is mainly about tricks and how many you can juggle, i've never seen a juggler dance with his prop like spinners do, ive never seen a spinner play with 7 poi, 6 poi but never 7. They are totally different disciplines and i resent the fact that jugglers seem to think their chosen toy is harder to master than poi is.

Ok, i cant juggle 5 balls but can a 'juggler' do whip catches or atomics? Why cant you recognise that juggling is a totally different hobby from poi and so has a different learning curve? It doesnt make one better than the other. Until the BJC i considered myself a juggler because thats what i was doing most of, thats where i was progressing because i hadnt been playing with my poi. Now, after seeing the attitude toward spinners and reading this thread, i'm a spinner through and through.

I just hope the EJC doesnt have the same closed view of poi and those who practice it.

Oh, and the whole 'spinners are unaware of their surroundings when they spin' is a load of crap and an offensive generalisation.

"I'm glad i didnt see the 'no poi' sign because i probably would have chucked it in the bin."

What.. and the massive whiteboard on wheels it was written on?

"If a self professed juggler came to a falmouth meet they would never see a sign saying 'no juggling'" - Correct, but the BJc isnt Falmouth.

"Poi is just as difficult as juggling" - no.. no it isnt. It hasnt taken me 2 years to learn ANY poi move. I still dont have a solid 5 ball shower after 2 years.

"i've never seen a juggler dance with his prop like spinners do" You should Google video for Chris Bliss

Seriously, like a blind juggler, just drop it.

We all know poi isnt juggling and we know that some jugglers think poi is lame. Some spinners think juggling is lame. Horses for courses, get on with life.

Hey you can juggle blind you know. Next year or maybe the year after im gonna do a whole BYJY act blind folded. Its all about that iether a throw juggler or a catch juggler. Anyway please dont fight Poi and Jugglign are lovely. Staffs sexier. Hehehe no there all cool. Smile its all happy.

me, Jake and Sym were among the last people to go, and I'm sad to say, I couldnt see any magic pink and black poi anywhere sorry Skully i hope they turn up

Mini posted a list of lost property on the uk jugglers yahoo group a little while back.. 'fraid there were no poi on it..

N.

loved the pix...

especially those on page 2 - "the juggler monkeys"

The uni cycles next to mintsauce really finish it off!

Great work

Bloody Hell!!

I was on the tree and I was oblivious to the fact that they managed to get the unicycles up there!

Heehee nice pics though (although on the 3rd juggle monkey pic I appear to be getting very intimate with the tree...

Hadn't spotted the unicycle before!
Excellent!

Neon....possibly a little too intimate!

There you go Strugz... a free Sample

hiya

unfortunately nope. there where no poi in the lost or left behind property..

sorry

Wow, just read the last bit of this thread... oh I feel so bad for Zen I didn't hear about that.

Also, I don't remember seeing any lost poi before I left Bodmin... sorry Skully! Hope you find them!

Hey Sym, it wasn't my fav BJC either. Not by a long shot. I don't think I learnt a single thing

except superballs are the [censored]
