[Niclas]

I will download it NOW
So excited

[Dennis]

me too!

so glad it's finally there!

can't wait to see it!

[Crackers]

This is by far the best diabolo video ever made.
Congrats to everyone for the tricks and to Martijn for the editing.
So many stuff I absolutly loved I feel too lazy to pick out the time frames.

[zwiggelbig]

Wow Great! Gonna watch it now, to bad I'm not in it =(

[Alex!]

Norbi's and Arjan's sections stood out the most to me as their ideas seemed experimental and fresh. Its good to know there's still so much more out there.
The general standard of diabolists seems to have significantly raised, I better get to practicing...

[Sean]

A-w-e-s-o-m-e.

It was really quite something to see it all come together. What a team effort by all, and especially, what an effort by Martijn for his editing! It seems like a big job, and the reality is it's even bigger. The final result was out-of-this-world-good. Every year it never fails to disappoint, eh?

[Marko]

What did you say about "the year of integrals". There's more other techniques on the collab
video. Arjan does really smooth moves, also i loved the Duncan's, Martijn's and Sean's sections.
Don't mean to kiss moderators asses but they were actually good. Finally well edited video worth
of watching. Oh, forgot to mention Nick. He's awesome.

Now i know what i'll be watching the rest of the year. Thanks a lot to everybody.

[Clément]

Is AMAZING !!   thanks Martijn  congratulations to all 

[-Leo-]

I've watched the first minute and it's crazy. I gotta go to basketball now, but just too say the first minute was amazing enough. Expect a lenghty post after this one.

Thanks everyone!

[Sean]

Don't mean to kiss moderators asses but they were actually good.

Why thank you.

Let me kiss one more moderator's ass: Seán (unless that's who you meant before, in which case I take back the kiss). His arm grind stuff, and especially that 2d antisun to arm-grind-bounce-thing (twice!) (13:26) deserves a serious WTF, in the truest sense of the web 2.0 way.

and Susannah's 2d arm orbit stuff... and the intro!... and Nev's crazy 2d thing... and William's classy tricks and diabolo-beer-opening... and Busk's diabolo pounding... and the Sharpe's insane passing... and Johnny's crazy 2d sequence... and Ceri-Anne's string stick stuff... and Quentin's multidimensional suicide/integral thing... and Nick's string goodness... and Marko's awesome old-school style stuff and 4 points vertax... and the Australian guys' 3 person rocket start... and ... and the list goes on...

FEED-THE-SWAN!

[Lily]

Continuous Multiple Mental Orgasms. My mind and eyes can't catch up with this.

[Marijn]

Gosh totally worth the wait!!!

So much niceness trickwise, also liked all the little intermezzo's, like Duncans feeding-bolo

[Ben.]

excuse me but...
Nev, Jacob, Marko, Crackers ( ), Suzannah, Daniel, Domi, Pete!, Jakob, Marijn, Quentin and of course Arjan, your tricks were sublime.

funty.

BUT BY FAR THE BEST

Jonny. Absolute best trick ever and I mean it.

I am cacking myself for not being in this.

[wagnerBCJ]

the trick of nev is incredibleee!

[Jem]

Absolutely fantastic stuff 

Thanks ever so much Tijn for your hard work and all of you for the amazing tircks and combos.

[Dennis]

awesome work tijn!

gotta watch it again this night!

I'm way too lazy to make a list of my favourites because they were all sick!
but arjan's contact stuff stood out of the crowd for me!

best video ever!

@Crackers: your integral-piroutte thing is wicked!

[Crackers]

Jonny. Absolute best trick ever and I mean it.

Maybe my favorite aswell because it was the first trick I knew would stay in my mind forever

[Arjan]

Briljant!

I love this one!! Martijn, absolute insane job! Your effort made this one gold the moment you put your hands on it. The music is great!

Participants, thanks for your clips! I enjoyed each single second!

Watching it over and over again! Inspiring!

[Pete]

Had to watch it at least twice before I could even begin to comment. Tried to pick out a single favourite part, but I just couldn't because there were so many. I really liked the way the background in Martijn's clips linked in with the Work in Progress theme, good thinking. Interesting to see the different themes we run on and how much crossover there is in styles and tricks. Once again I was surprised at how impressive Susannah's 2d orbits are, its great to see something interesting done form something I originally thought was a dead end. And to follow on from what a few others said, Johnny's trick was genius I thought.

An extremely welcome bit of inspiration. Well worth the wait. Thanks to everyone who took part, and well done to Tijn for editing. Magnificent.
