I'm from Spain so excuse my english. I just wanted to tell you that the name of the guy with the big wheel was Matías, from Chile; and the guay with the clubs was named Mikel, he is from Spain, from the Basque Country. Keep it on! thanks! Hey, nice report of the EJC! I’m from Spain so excuse my english.

However, in response to this post I have to put somet things in *my opinion* The 'Hoop' is called a Cyr wheel, or Acrobatic Wheel - depending on who you speak to. I also disagree entirely about Defracto - I wasn't there to see their show at the EJC this year, but having seen them perform before, and knowing Guill won a medal at this year's Cirque De Demain... I doubt they need more 'performance experiance'. Lastly - I completely disagree about the Gala show. I love Gala shows. Granted some of them are weak. Agreed there should be more variation - but by the sound of it this year there was more variation than other years (Trick Cycle and Cyr). Gala shows is a great way of showing that the Juggling Community is up to (not the juggling world as we all know the best jugglers out there rarely appear at conventions and such like). It would be nice for EJC Gala's to show some more unknown amazing jugglers - but then I don't want the responsibility (nor do i have the time for) to organise one!!
