Hey guys,

The record of the whole show is available on the ARTE stream channel, through which the show was broadcast yesterday. IÂ´ve just checked it out and was pleasantly surprised when I managed to watch the whole show.

Btw, JordenÂ´s act starts on the 36th minute

Thanks for the link Tuuka!
I got the shivers when he announced Jorden, and when the freestyle part came

Not to be a killjoy, but I really don't think this is progressing the sport in anyway.

I mean no disrespect in anyway, and commend you 100% for putting forth the effort and time into making what you feel is your dream.

Hey everybody,

Back in Hamilton now after a whirlwind week. Unbelievable. Made a lot of great connections and met some truly incredible human beings. Saw some physical feats I would've never dreamed possible and got a taste what life in a big top is like. Experienced Paris, an epicentre of arts and culture in full swing.

Thanks to Tuukka for posting the Arte Liveweb link. (They interview me at one point in the video, but I don't know where. Check for it

)
Keep in mind this performance was a little less clean than my first show, but still went over really well!!

Here's a French TV spot with a nice clip of my act.

As you can see, the competition was beyond fierce!!

The technical level seemed higher than average this year.
A lot of the artists were either World champions, or simply the best there has ever been in their disciplines.

I learned an insane amount about circus, and can't wait to apply what I've learned into my act. It can only get better and better.

The future is looking up!

Thanks to those who've supported me over the years, and especially those who came to see the show.

FOOTBAG!

Awesome. Great job, both on making it there and executing the performance!

No question a huge moment for footbag. Honestly, it was only after watching the two guys who performed immediately following Jorden that it really hit me what a goddamn honor it is to see our fledgling pastime recognized in the context of these other feats of artistry/athleticism. Granted, most of us can't juggle and jump rope while shredding, but, hey, whatever.

Props Jorden. Soooo many.
