Impressive trick. Somebody else was just recently talking about footing something ending in revup, though that may have been spinning revup. Not sure. Cool trick though, anything + revup.

And 2 alternating toe stalls while juggling 7 balls.
And a ripwalk while juggling 3 balls into 4 balls.

Dear Jorden Moir,

Get ready to shred.

And hang out, eat Indian, sauna, cook, invent tricks, film, edit, and see Johnny.

Sincerely yours,

-Jay Boychuk

You'll be hard pressed to find a foot juggling video I haven't seen.
I'm FB friends with this guy - he's cool.

My new act is weeks away from completion. Just needs polishing. :D
I finally have access to a video camera again since I sold my good one earlier this year due to hard times.

I don't "shred" anymore but my brain still conceptualizes new tricks. Need to make another concepts video. Juggling has reached a new plateau. Diabolo is improving...slowly.

For those Canajuns not going to Worlds, come hang out at IJA in Quebec City. It's July 20-26 (juggle.org). I'll hopefully get a chance to defend my World Championship title.
I'm still alive.

After a year of deep introspection, I'm finally back on Facebook.
I'll be debuting a new act at Waterloo Juggling Festival this month.

Hey Jorden, I think this is my first post in here, but I just want to say thank you. Thank you for all you've done to change and evolve this sport. I must admit, I hadn't seen much of your footage during my first 5 years of footbag, but I saw your Sessions videos last year and I've been watching them for inspiration ever since. Your style has really inspired how I think about shredding. I don't know if you saw it, but I hit Moirius (Big Applescrew I believe) in my Joulu video. That was obviously inspired by you.

It's a bummer hearing that you retired from shredding, because I would KILL for more Jorden footage. Maybe not kill, just maim :P Either way, if you ever feel like putting on your Quantums and having a 30 minute session, I know a lot of brand new players would benefit from watching another video from you. Still looking forward to your concept video. I'm glad your mind still tosses around footbag ideas. I'm rambling. You're the man. Thanks for doing what you've done.

looking good my friend! what's the motivation for? just casual playing or new circus stunts? I'm curious what you are aiming for, you have been really missed in the last decade, I hope you stick around and bring motivation to many once again, well even if you were not around people have still been motivated by all you done

you are a footbag hero, and I'm happy to see you kicking and posting, just letting you know

BRICK!
Mathieu Gauthier
