Jason Garfield gives us the juggler's version of a "Yo' Momma" joke by performing the now famous "Chris Bliss Juggling Routine".
Except that Jason does it with five balls. Awesome.
Here's a short clip of me performing a tongue-in-cheek "interpretive dance with yo-yos" at the 2006 RIT Juggling Festival in Rochester, New York.
The music is Jud Jud, doing acapella renditions of early 90s Straight Edge hardcore songs.
It is, obviously, ridiculous.
This is a "best of" video made by Takeshi Kamisato. It's got footage from the Duncan "Yo-Yo Viking Tour" DVD, the 2004 World Yo-Yo Contest, and a bunch of other random events.
It's just a love letter to the sponsored Duncan Crew players, who have proven themselves to be the finest players, and people, in the entire yo-yo industry.

My take on the classic "drunk" routine. Only, of course, with yo-yos.
Big thanks to The Bindlestiff Family Cirkus in NYC for always giving me a space to try out new routines. Check them out at www.bindlestiff.org.
Oddly enough, it's actually rather difficult to be "pretend drunk". I'd never actually tried it before, until this show. Tricky, but very fun!
Here is my performance at the 2007 World Yo-Yo Contest, in the "Artistic Performance" division.
I came in 3rd Place...which only proves that even a professional performer with a road-tested routine can't impress a bunch of untrained yo-yo judges.
I'll consider this a victory.
U.S. National Yo-Yo Master Steve Brown, doing a tv appearance in New Zealand. If you notice, Steve is a little "slower" than usual. That's because he got off the plane, and went straight to the taping. So after 23 hours in the air, and a lot of those little bottles of vodka, he was a little off his rocker.
