good points

the juggling is fabulous all the way through. a concise display of well controlled technical skill. i'm very impressed.
good quality video coding.

bad points

a concise display of well controlled technical skill. there's not a hint of performance in it. (ok not strictly a neccesity around here but it would be nice!)
your left little finger!
being filmed in your living room.
this curt reply.

Fabulous to watch! Good show of technical skill. But I missed some music in the background.

Thanks

I was really impressed with the outside elbow stalls. How long did those take you to learn? all in all very very well done.

Bravo.

My little finger!!

I know! I hate the thing, it has a life of its own. You're right about the performance thing, I have a series of moves I run through in a very strict order but not much presentation asisdes from some basic footwork... Something to work on...

Thanks for the compliments - always nice.

And Craig, I was working for about two years on my elbowstalls before I had them down. Once you have that though the outside elbow flyaways come like second nature. And they're a good crowd pleaser!

tape the damn thing up for a few days every time it misbehaves!
looking interested in what you're doing will really help, if you can work out a little story in your head to justify the moves, that will help as well(also helps to remember a routine:-) ) and it'll give you clues how to present it to an audience.
