blindfold guinness wr

[Ton]

You should just tell them that the WCA regulates world records in cubing, and not Guinness. Guinness doesn't regulate track records, the IAAF does. They just borrow numbers from the IAAF.

It's unfortunate that some people in this world are complete and utter morons. But yes, best to ignore them. And when times get very tough, just find a blond German guy and a Hello Kitty umbrella. It makes EVERYTHING better.

There are some strange people at Guinness ,SevenTown the license holder of the Rubik's cube also hit a brick-wall talking to Guinness in 2003. Guinness adopted the regulation from the 1982 WC, where the non lube and new cube where used.The -WCA or Seventowns - should try to talk to Guinness, maybe now they will see how the WCA have good and fair regulation and a very good record site....

Tim, have you tried ordering it straight from the WJF? It looks to me like the PayPal thing there will let you order from Germany. (I just tried selecting Germany, and it let me and the web page changed to German.)

I found that, too, but it requests we ask about international shipping. I'd also like to get the "Hardcore Fans" DVD which is only on Jason's own website. I sent him a mail a moment ago about getting both of these sent to Germany.

 

[shelley]

lol I need to elarn it quick so I can get the wr!

don't take my idea though I wanna trophy!!!

Someone hasn't been reading the discussion.

I can lend you the 2005 edition of that DVD, though it sounds like the 2008 edition has much more. I'd like to watch that one, too.

Thanks, but i've also read, that the 2008 edition seems to be much better, so i rather want the 2008 edition.

I could purchase it in the US and send it to you?

That would be awesome, but i wonder how much the shipping cost will be. Maybe i can share it with Stefan.

Mike: Thanks, i just found this store. I think i'll wait for the reply of Stefan's mail.

SOMEONE is a fan of Jason Garfield

Who isn't?

Me (I don't know him)

What? There are some nice videos on youtube.

btw. I tried to buy his DVD "Practice and Theory", but the German amazon doesn't have it and the American amazon doesn't ship it to Germany... Does anyone know another source for the DVD?

I realize we are going WAY off topic, but I have watched some juggling videos and was amazed. Then I found this

 

[blah]

Yeap contact juggling. I've seen that stuff before and I've got a friend who's quite good at it and I've wanted to learn that forever, but I can't seem to get my hands on one of those acrylic balls though

I've promoted this before on other threads, but if you like all sorts of unusual manipulation, you should check out:

http://www.ministryofmanipulation.com/blog/

Something new almost every day, and all kinds of different varieties of manipulation, with a bit of an emphasis on juggling.

You can buy a dvd from http://www.penguinmagic.com/product.php?ID=1318
if you want to learn contact juggling.

Don't let Jason catch you suggesting contact juggling...

Some good links about Jason (I suggest visiting in this order):

Jason replied and I already ordered the hardcore fans DVD a moment ago because there's no common shop for both DVDs and shipping this one internationally doesn't cost more.

For the Theory and Practice of Juggling DVD available at thewjfstore.com, international shipping would be $12.00. Tim, do you want to order it there or somewhere else? I certainly do want it, too, at least watch it if not own it.

I never thought I would say this Stefan, but you sound like a fanboy. I am a little afraid you got those DVD's for free after telling Jason about me liking contact juggling. I didn't read anything about why Jason would disprove contact juggling. From what I read he likes technical juggling and some of the contact juggling I saw looked pretty technical to me.

I liked the first link and loved this (unrelated but fitting) quote on the third link

Yeah, i definitely want to order it from there. $12.00 is really a good price. Will it save a few euros if one of us orders two DVDs?

There should be an embedded youtube video showing jason garfield juggling.

[AvGalen]

[nitrocan]
