Welcome to Perpetual Motion, a site dedicated to the community of Minnesota flaggers based in the twin cities. Our humble coven of flaggers performs in many venues/events and is as diverse as the flags we spin. We take flagging as a serious performing art and practice with vigor and enthusiasm. We welcome you to experience this ethereal art form in all its true beauty.

Flagging is different to each and every one who views it, or even those who practice it. Countless times I'm asked, "What is flagging?"

Describing flagging in words is a daunting task. It's about as easy as describing color to a blind person, or the feeling of alcohol to someone who's never had a drink. I'm reminded of a quote from "The Matrix":

"Unfortunately, no one can be told what the matrix is. You have to see it for yourself."

The same is very true for flagging. I'll do my best to describe it to you. We all know the classic image of a matador and his waving a red cape in front of a bull. Picture that same matador with two capes (no bull) waving them in unison in deliberate patterns in sync to music to create a visual spectacle. While many of the patterns are similar, his speed and execution of them in time to the music astound and amaze many of the people who watch him.
