Wow your tutorials are amazing I really enjoy them you haven't posted in 7 years I hope things are well for you and your healthy. You are truly an inspiration very professional and thorough. In Canada here there is nothing like this. I just started to flow March 2021.

[@mre3048]

Brilliant instructional video. The close up slow finger movements are gold. As a beginner to Buugeng, this is just what I need. Many thanks Colin.

[@flowwand]

Colin, I have been waiting for this kind of ultraclear explanation for... ever. Nice. Thanks so much!

[@TheFaithkarma]

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Your patience really rolls off the screen. Very helpful!!!

[@johntsavalas1995]

What a relief ! I just got into this from 4 yrs of poi. Your instruction is perfect.

[@WinsomeJohnny]

Thanks, my Buugeng just arrived today!

[@nikkioboyle1229]

I just got my LED Buugengs and can't wait to Flow thanks to your videos! Thanks Colin!!

I recently started spinning buugeng, so i am quite new to this, but i have been spinning sticks (batons) for quite sometime and the finger technique is more or less the same. What i find really important when explaining the finger spinning is to try to not let the wrist twist while spinning. So, i try to keep the inside part of my palm always facing down (as possible as this can be) and the outside part facing up. I do this in order to avoid hurting my wrist. It is a bit difficult to get that technique in the beginning, but once you get it it is much safer for the wrists. By the way, you are very clean and fluid with your buugengs! Thanks for sharing your videos man!

[@buugengster]

Hey Yorgos! I totally agree. This is great advice. Thanks for your contribution :)

[@vladimirbaranov6867]

thanks! I'm new to buugeng so the advice relates deeply

[@mattcanzano4183]

right on man...those are the ones I have been looking at. love the show you do in their vid.

[@HunGredy]

I just found your video with the led buugeng by accident. I am a designer-spirited person and I am all about visual illusions. Man that video was so amazing I totally fell in love with it. I was already looking for some zen practise to calm myself outside and have some basic baton skills, you just made a new buyer for those. I will definitely pick this up and watch all your stuff. Keep up the good work! Let's hope one day I will have a routine worth showing

[@Romir616]

Hey Collin Thank you for the videos. Just got my pair and started practicing last night. Love it.

[@linabobo97]

Thank you for your lessons, you help me a lot for my learning! Thanks to you I learn much faster and with the right gestures ;)

[@oonathorburn650]

[@taciruas8737]

Lindo!! Qual madeira ele é confeccionado?

[@09Jason11]

Hej Collin, could you do a tutorial / step by step on your pyoterra performance?

[@sammichez]

ahh. I just gotta get some of these!

[@sammichez]

and I got some! :)

[@fashauer]

Hey I've never juggled before but am fascinated with Buugenging. Any suggestions on where I could buy my first set to use? do you suggest wood or another material?

[@sarcodonblue2876]

+James I bought mine from ebay and i am happy with it. I bought it from a guy is Israel. You can buy them from Etsy . There are some beautiful ones on Etsy. Dube juggling has them too and they have a hole in the middle.

[@dijidave]

I think you are a very good teacher, & very practiced/talented with your Buuegng, my only critique would be that the video camera loses focus when you step back from the close up, but that is just trivial. Keep up the good work 8-)

[@buugengster]

I understand on the camer focus :(. I have a manually adjusted lens on this video clip, so I had to work around that :\ Glad you enjoyed the video, keep practicing :)

[@baitza9655]

What are the circle ones called??

[@talkingstick2u]

Thanks for the tutorial! Question about hand size: I'm petite and therefore have small hands. The buungeng feels too wide for me. Is it relevant or am I just going thru the beginner's curve?

[@brycethoreson9216]

mine always falls flat then i have it balanced and try to turn it, how do i prevent this

[@carmenpereira8022]

i'm a very beginner got a pair of aluminum ones and i'm really struggling with the weight on my fingers, any tips or different methods to try with nimble hands ?? :)

[@LollerFlakes]

Hi Colin. Just started picking up the buggeng. In this tutorial, is it a preference if I use this set of 1-2-3 instead of what was mention. Are there any cons of doing it the way I'm doing it? 1(thumb),2(index finger),3( middle finger, ring finger and pinky).

[@jonathanmarks507]

Hey Colin, Thanks a heap for your videos. May I ask where you live please? Thanks!

[@buugengster]

Hey Jonathan, At the moment, I reside in SE Asia.

[@ubiquitousbliss]

So I twirled baton and was high ranking in my colour guard so I thought this would be like riding a bike, only with a different seat. I am dropping it in simple finger spins and getting muscle fatigue easily. Is this to be expected for a beginner. I am day 1. hour 1 and frustrated that this basic is turning out to be quite difficult to grasp. advice?

[@tom24102410]

Hi, it´s Tom from Prague. We met on trainings with Pyroterra. Can you please tell me, what kind of wood is your buugengs made of? Thanks and hope that you´re well.

[@danailnaydenov4788]

Hey Colin!! Did you buy that s staff buugeng or did you make it yourself? I wanna maka for myself an s staff buugeng but I don't have the specs. Can you give me the specs of yours? How long?

[@mattcanzano4183]

Hey Colin!! What led buugeng do you personally reccomend?

[@buugengster]

Hey Sterling, sorry for my late reply here. At the moment, I would recommend Pyroterra LED Buugeng. I use these for professional acts as well as for festival jams.

[@lucystevens1588]

where can you buy these? your tutorial is great. you make it look so easy! I know it's not

[@buugengster]

www.etsystudio.com/shop/Zaobab/

[@genmekka3625]

What happened to your site?

[@Shamankarakilla]

bro thank you so much for thıs vıdeo l just wanna ask same questıon l doın 8 rıngs l use my fırst 3 fıngers so can l use to same lıke buugen... not 4 fınger only 3 fıngers bro respect u peazzzzz

[@mattcanzano4183]

Hey Colin! those are so expensive...do you know any promo codes for them...they come out to about 600

[@buugengster]

Hey Sterling, again sorry for my delayed reply here. Pyroterra have discount codes throughout the year. You can keep track via their Facebook page, Pyroterra Lighttoys. However, I am surprised by that total cost. That doesn't seem right at all. Their shipping rates are standard worldwide and the total price is 410 at the moment, and that is with their new FT technology (highly recommend that as well).

[@1mtnbikegrl]

Do you suggest striped or plain?

[@buugengster]

+1mtnbikegrl It all depends on what kind of experience you are trying to give through your movement. The striped design is a lot more obscure and intense, which I enjoy. I just simply don't have a pair yet. The natural wood is nice because it looks more organic. The only reason I have that in this video is because at the time, that was what I wanted. Now I am thinking of all kinds of color combinations that could look cool. My favorite design is a half stained wooden piece made by Dai Zaobab for Chris Dall (search "Janusburns" in youtube to see that on his page). There are many, many choices, so take a bit to think about what you think you would enjoy most before ordering. Dai will customize them in many, many ways for you.

[@nickromeo93]

That is one big fidget spinner.

[@biancaf.5716]

My buugeng literally broke when I was doing that haha Because it went to the floor, of course, so be careful.
