It's absolutely impossible to choose for me. But I can't deny my biggest three influences have been Moon, Dawn and more recently Okotanpe. I still watch their videos again and again today.

Two EJCs and I don't know any of them in person *sad face*.

Shyft - The best contact juggler in the world -- and my husband :)

I was going to put you and your husband in as a joint first place for me; as you two were my in person introduction into the art form. Lirnyk was going to be a close second.

I would also like to point out that you have been the witness to my only contact juggling table casualty.

Aww, thanks guys :stack:

I'd like to add my mentors J & Matrim, and their mentors Shyft & Sky (Lei), to my favorites/inspirations list. Without you I wouldn't be CJing today!

Also, nice to see you still lurking about Kalraldun, there are some nice tables up in Bloomington just waiting for you...

Okotanpe is my favorite, cause you see him enjoy when he preforms. The best videos I ever seen of CJ (my opinion) are Street performances that plays with the people emotions: the "wow"s and "Oh"s are your rythm and Background music =]

ELSIE!

I am probably the biggest Elsie fan in the world. *stares longingly at framed 8x10 on desk and avant garde oil painting above candle alter*

Alright, so not THAT crazy, but Elsie's routines are THE videos of choice for me to show how beautiful CJ can be

Alsoalsoalsoalso: Dawn, for the exact same reason.

You are both welcome in Missouri any time for awesome hi5 trophy from me. </swoon>

THANKS guys!! I think I just make a lot of videos, honestly, so you actually KNOW what I am up to... There are so many out there who are hidden in the shadows that we hardly ever see!

My step-mom is from Missouri, I'm sure I'm going to get dragged down to Branson one of these days... then, fun will ensue.

top inspirations: for me have more to do with some videos

The Hangar, Jea9 and Ryan were just killer.
Ryan and Remi's Xmas vid was pretty fantastic. the opening sequence of stacked creamers is still tops
OCCJD, Dawn got everyone hooked and loving her
The La Warr series was impressive w/ Colin and Ed
Elsie's Stockings Routine and pre-gig Liquid Isolations
German's Barcelona vid
Moons Discovery Chanel promo sat in my head for a long time
Brine had a great one that disappeared that had a remix song in it I cant place anymore.
Silvers Ideas in Contact & I'm still bored.... vids, and ones that people just got of him busking.
Okotanpe JJF2008
and so many more...

It's neither - it's the ultimate numbers in juggling.
